the goal of the course is to provide the student with all the knowledge necessary to be able to work with athletes, but also with non-athletes - interested in safeguarding and enhancing their psycho-physical well-being, even in disability situations.

Various paralympics will be treated in a specific way both in relation to athletes' classifications and technical-tactical issues of different disciplines.

Information on Special Olympics Games and sports techniques and regulations for subjects with intellectual disabilities will also be provided.
