The internship aims to provide an understanding of the mechanics of cycling locomotion, essential knowledge in both sports and rehabilitation contexts.

• Cycling Locomotion Mechanics
• Resistive forces to advancement
• Acting forces
• Transmission mechanisms
• Key parameters and tests in practical application
• Pedaling efficiency indices
• Overview of the involvement of different muscle groups in active phases
• Bicycle positioning (brief insights into bike fitting)

Sports Biomechanics

Knowledge and Understanding:

Understanding of the parameters influencing the mechanics of locomotion on a bicycle.

Applied Knowledge and Understanding:

Students will apply acquired knowledge in the biomechanical analysis of cycling sports gestures.

Autonomy of Judgment:

In the process of knowledge formation, students are tasked with making choices and organizing the preparation phases for the planned tests.

Communication Skills:

During the course, students will formulate hypotheses for evaluation modules for various phases of specific sports gestures.

Learning Skills:

Through the aforementioned components, students are expected to demonstrate their independently developed acquisition and connection capabilities, as well as the ability to retrieve scientific literature on the subject.

The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it

Teaching

Traditional frontal lectures and practical laboratory activities.

Innovative teaching methods

The course employs several innovative teaching practices, including in-class debates, problem-based learning, learning by doing, and flipped classroom methodology.

Attendance

The minimum attendance requirement complies with the internship course regulations of the degree program. Regarding practical exercise activities, attendance is defined as active participation in the lesson.

Assessment

Not specified

Disabilità e DSA

Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.

A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
