Course description

The course "MOLECULAR MARKERS FOR SPORT" (7CFU) aims to advance the knowledge of the major molecular markers closely related to sports practice. At the end of the course students could know the main sports-related serum markers and the variations related to sports practice.
The course also includes ATP-practical skills (7CFU); in the field of the practical skills provided, students will gain knowledge about the use of dietary supplements in sports practice. In particular, students will increase knowledge of the main drugs used in sports and the principle methods of analysis for their identification on different biological samples.

Prerequisites

Biochemistry and physiology

Syllabus

Main course contents:
