It is believed that a graduate must basically be trained with strong competences in the field of assessment, managing and administration of physical activity resides concerning biological, medical and psycho-pedagogical skills.

It is also believed that medical-clinical skills, while representing an important part of the cultural baggage of the graduate in physical education, should not however misrepresent the nature of the professional figure that does not have diagnostic-prescriptive skills but rather a physical and aptitude and planning and administration of the appropriate quantity, intensity and duration of the physical-motor activity load for the purpose of maintaining and improving human health.

The course was structured to make the graduate independent as far as concerns the application of training techniques that take into account different features of the subject: from biomedical to psycho-pedagogical and communication ones.

In order to achieve these results, being provided with solid biomedical skills and other skills related to different areas (whose weight is obviously linked to the interfaculty setting of the degree course), it is believed of fundamental importance to hold a solid base of technical training subjects in order to strongly characterize the graduate as well as a technician who is able to evaluate, plan, prescribe and manage the most suitable physical exercise for the subject.

This perspective has led to the current set-up that is thus balanced between the M-EDF and biomedical and medical-clinical sectors, through a study course aimed at the training of an expert professional in the fields of maintenance and improving of human health.

Graduates will achieve skills related to the understanding and management of educational activities of adaptive, recreational or sports nature, addressing them in the development, maintenance and recovery of motor skills and the psychophysical well-being related to them, also with the function of prevention:

The University has signed agreements with associations and companies for physical exercises and practical technical activities. Relations with CONI are in progress for developing traineeships and internships. In addition, the University has signed an agreement with affiliated institutions for research and activities in the medical-scientific areas with a leading medical-scientific-hospital and research group such as NEUROMED. The agreements have been signed in order to support the university in the activities related to highly specialized laboratories, IT and technological systems, personalized study places, traineeships and internships.
