Learning objectives
The elective course “Advanced Sports Nutrition”, offered in English, focuses on particularly complex aspects of human nutrition for sports. The course aims at providing technical competences and at stimulating a critical, quantitative and evidence-based approach that will allow the kinesiology expert to navigate the many captivating options advertised on the market. Through the use of the English language, the course aims at improving the understanding and the use of adequate scientific terminology and communication style; these are essential pre-requisites for an easy, independent and critical access to the international scientific literature.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge of Biochemistry (chemical structure of macronutrient molecules, main metabolic pathways involved in the synthesis and catabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats) Knowledge of general physiology, exercise physiology and the gastrointestinal system

Bibliography
Didactic methods
Teaching will be in person, in problem-based learning (PBL) and flipped classroom mode. The teaching materials will be made available to the student in advance of the classroom work (pdf slides, in-depth materials).
Learning assessment procedures
The evaluation will be based on three items: Written test Frequency Independent activity on Moodle The exam consists of a written test of 16 multiple choice questions (with 5 possible answers and only one correct) to be carried out within 45 minutes. The exam methods are identical for attending and non-attending students. One point will be awarded for each correct answer. Incorrect answers will have zero points. The outcome of the written exam is communicated promptly by the teacher via the esse3 platform. Candidates must accept or refuse the vote using the procedure provided on the "esse3.cineca" application within the established deadline. In the absence of communication in this regard, the corresponding evaluation out of thirty will be automatically recorded. The ongoing tests will consist of 4-6 questions per lesson which focus on the preparatory teaching material for the lessons in flipped classroom mode and which will be administered remotely with the Moodle platform.
Evaluation criteria
For the written test, the grade will be calculated in thirtieths as the number of correct answers multiplied by 2. The attendance grade will be 30 for 100% attendance and 18 for 50% attendance. Intermediate frequencies will give rise to proportional scores while no points will be awarded for a frequency lower than 50%. The grade relating to independent activity on Moodle will be formulated as follows: 30/30 will be attributed to people who download and view 100% of the teaching material in time for the lessons and who correctly answer 80% of the questions in the ongoing tests. 18/30 will be awarded to people who download and view 60% of the teaching material in time for the lessons and who correctly answer 50% of the questions in the ongoing tests. Intermediate performances will give rise to proportional scores while no score will be awarded if less than 60% of the material is downloaded in time and if less than 50% of the ongoing test questions are answered correctly.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final mark will derive from the weighted average of the mark of the written test + the mark of the presence + the mark of the ongoing questions: - the weight of the exam in determining the final mark will be 60% - the weight of the presence will be 20% - the weight of ongoing applications will be 30%

Type D and Type F activities
I Regolamenti dei corsi di laurea e di laurea magistrale di scienze motorie prevedono che gli studenti possano completare il proprio piano didattico, frequentando oltre agli insegnamenti obbligatori anche delle attività formative a scelta, per approfondire alcuni aspetti tematici o settori di interesse, in coerenza con il proprio percorso formativo.
Le attività formative a scelta di ambito D sono indicate all’interno del piano didattico del corso di studio prescelto, mentre le attività formative di ambito F sono individuate da una apposita commissione di docenti. Queste ultime attività possono essere conferenze, seminari, webinar, altro e vengono acquisite con una valutazione e non con un voto in trentesimi.

Internships
Internships are aimed at enabling students to gain direct knowledge of the world of work and to acquire specific professional skills.
Internships are carried out under the responsibility of an individual lecturer, and can be carried out in professional firms, public administration bodies and companies recognised by the University of Verona.
Any CFU credits gained by doing internships will be recognised and recorded by the University in accordance with the relevant University regulations in force (Regolamento d’Ateneo per il riconoscimento dei crediti maturati negli stage universitari).

Certificazione medica di idoneità
Riferimenti normativi principali: DM 24 aprile 2013 art. 3, GU 169 del 20-07-2013; Decreto del Ministro della Salute dell’8 agosto 2014 e s.m.i.
Per frequentare le attività dei corsi di Laurea e Laurea magistrale di Scienze motorie è obbligatorio presentare la certificazione medica di idoneità fisica per attività sportiva non agonistica. La certificazione è necessaria per accedere alle attività pratiche-esercitative e al tirocinio.
à COME OTTENERE LA CERTIFICAZIONE
La certificazione - riportante l’indicazione che è stato eseguito l’ECG a riposo - può essere rilasciata da:
- centri o servizi di medicina dello sport delle ASL (ora ATS) e delle aziende ospedaliere
- istituti della Federazione Medico Sportiva Italiana
- centri pubblici o privati autorizzati:
- dai medici di medicina generale di libera scelta, relativamente ai propri assistiti;
- dal medico specialista in medicina dello sport.
L’ECG a riposo deve essere ripetuto annualmente.
E’ ammesso anche il certificato medico di idoneità alla pratica sportiva agonistica, per chi ne fosse già in possesso.
à SCADENZA PER LA PRESENTAZIONE
La certificazione medica deve essere prodotta al momento dell'immatricolazione e, comunque, entro l’inizio delle lezioni alla Segreteria Corsi di Studio Scienze motorie. Spetta agli studenti rinnovarla annualmente alla scadenza - per ogni anno di iscrizione in corso o fuori corso. La Segreteria effettuerà periodicamente dei controlli sulla consegna dei certificati.
NOTA: Studenti immatricolati a seguito di SUBENTRO/RIPESCAGGIO/TRASFERIMENTO IN INGRESSO: se non è possibile rispettare la scadenza di presentazione del certificato sopra indicata, avvisare la Segreteria Corsi di Studio Scienze, scrivendo all’indirizzo certmed.scienzemotorie@ateneo.univr.it
à MODALITA’ DI CONSEGNA
La certificazione va inviata alla Segreteria Corsi di Studio Scienze motorie dalla propria e-mail istituzionale nome.cognome@studenti.univr.it all’indirizzo certmed.scienzemotorie@ateneo.univr.it.

Competenze linguistiche
DOPO LA LAUREA TRIENNALE
Per proseguire gli studi in uno dei corsi di Laurea Magistrale dell'ambito delle Scienze motorie è necessario possedere competenze linguistiche almeno di livello B1 informatizzato (o superiore) specificamente di lingua inglese, poichè i corsi di studio di livello superiore prevedono nel proprio piano didattico la presenza di insegnamenti o di moduli impartiti dai docenti direttamente in inglese.
Inoltre, tali competenze costituiscono requisito di accesso indispensabile per poter partecipare alla prova di ìngresso oppure per iscriversi ad una laurea magistrale.
La conoscenza di altre lingue diverse dall'Inglese NON può venire riconosciuta come "requisito" utile per l'accesso ai corsi di laurea magistrale. Tuttavia, la certificazione posseduta potrà essere valutata da un'apposita Commissione di docenti ed eventualmente riconosciuta in termini di crediti (CFU) a scelta dello studente, presentando domanda al momento dell'immatricolazione.
Si invita a leggere con attenzione i bandi di concorso annuali per l'ammissione ai corsi di laurea magistrali per maggiori informazioni - consultare nel sito del corso di studio anche la sezione "Iscriversi".
