The physical demands of training and competition result in a large amount of physical stress which, if not addressed and managed correctly, can result in athletes becoming excessively fatigued
. Incomplete recovery can result in underperformance and injury, therefore effective recovery strategies are required to alleviate fatigue, regain performance levels, promote adaptation and reduce the risk of injury or burnout.
During this module students will learn:
• Principles of Athlete Stress & Fatigue
– Understanding of the varied nature of physical stress responses in athletes, the cause of these stress responses and the effect they have on physical performance.
– Identifying models of stress response – GAS, Fitness-Fatigue
• Benchmarking Recovery
– Understanding systems and procedures designed to identify athletes at risk of excessive fatigue, overreaching or overtraining, and identifying the relevant recovery modalities to apply to those athletes.
• Principles & Application of Post-Competition Recovery
– Understanding the timeframe associated with post-competition recovery and identifying regeneration protocols designed to minimise the stress response and enhance the recovery process.
• Principles & Application of Post-Training Recovery
– Identifying recovery modalities designed to maximise specific training induced adaptations in the athlete and identifying any modalities which may inhibit the adaptation response.
• Sleep & Performance
– Understanding the role sleep plays in recovery and the impact sleep deprivation has on physical performance, identifying the cycles of sleep and strategies the athlete may adopt to improve sleep.

A different learning experience
The main educational tool of the International Telematic
University UNINETTUNO is the Internet-based learning
environment where teaching and learning are carried on in 6 languages—Italian, English, French, Arabic, Greek, Polish — and it allows implementing a new psycho-pedagogic model by Prof. Maria Amata Garito© that is characterized by the shift from:
teacher’s central role to the student’s central role;
knowledge transfer to knowledge creation;
integration between practice and theory;
a passive and competitive learning to active and collaborative
learning.
This psycho-pedagogic model by Prof. Maria Amata Garito© is characterized by the highest degree of flexibility for the student. By this model, the student can build his own learning path in function of his educational needs and of his skill-level.
The course is assessed by continuous assessment, so there are no onsite written exams. This degree is a professional masters programme, so you are encouraged to engage in your own professional practice if possible.
WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?
We prefer that you already have a Bachelors Degree in a sports discipline, or at least, closely related to it. Consideration will be given to professionals who have a established track record in sports fitness.
The total cost of the MProf is €8000. The course is divided up into a number of progression levels. The first award is the Post Graduate Certificate after you complete 20 ECTS credits, then after another 20 ECTS credits you are awarded a Post Graduate Diploma. Once you achieve 90 ECTS credits you gain your Masters Degree. You can exit at any stage of the programme and continue later. So, if you start from beginning and complete entire course, you will have a PG Cert, PG Dip and a MProf.
