integration of activity socio-professional training at the level of some specific education models in the course of one’s life, Mihailescu L.
(2004).
Hipotesis.We consider that the training of formatters is the most responsable instructive activity of the education system because the
modern society is changing permanently and this requires the pedagogues some competences for a process of education for changing
in the course of one’s life. From this perspective we will analyse the context of formatores’ training in „physical education and sport” area.
Content. The research objectives are: to analyze the structure of the education system; to analyze the way in which the curriculum was
changed starting with the projection level to the purpose level; to evaluate the competences of the university education graduated in the
fundamental domain of “physical culture and sport” in order to accomplish efficiently the four main trends of education:“learning to
know”.
Focusing the didactic process on competences supposes the identification of the general and specific competences (cognitive abilities)
realized by the syllabus of the Physical Education and Sport domain and psyhopedagogy module. We identified the main competences
on the three cycles of the syllabus Bologna and the relation between them: general competence, specific cognitive abilities, competences
in psychology domain, competences in general pedagogy domain, competences in specialitiy methodology domain, psychological
competences.
Conclusions: 1.On the capacities and competences’ accomplishment route, in concordance with the final performance standards of the
education in our domain, are teh followings: the priority of the educational process; objectives–contents concordance; a functional relation
between objectives and contents; the evaluation integration in the curricular documents’ structure as a strategy of adjustment and
self adjustment ;the adoptability of the evaluation system to different alternatives;the individualization of the education
2.In the new syllabus the contents on disciplines and activities become, depending on the necessary and possible knowledge, formation
means of the theoretical and practical - methodical competences, of the necessary behavior and attitudes, and also relational, of high
level.

Introduction: The enhancement of motor activity in the school is a way to improve the educational process as stated by the National
Guidelines of the Ministry of Education.
Indeed, the engagement in motor activities gives students the chance to live experiences that leads to correct and healthy lifestyles including
the prevention of diseases related to hypokinesia as some forms of flat foot resulting from postural defeats or overweight.
Objectives
This research was aimed to study the possible relationship between plantar structure and motor and sport practice, lifestyle and eating
habits in children aged 6 to 11 years.
Material and Methods
The research was carried out using a sample of 500 children aged between 6 and 11 years, attending 3 primary schools in Naples,
Salerno and Caserta.
The experimental protocol was previously established through the joint action between the school teachers, parents and researchers,
who shared the aims of the survey. Data about age, dietary habits, motor and sports practice played by students were previously and
indirectly collected through the support of the families. Information on weight and height were directly collected. The research team
analyzed the plantar pressure distribution through a practical and immediate system of analysis: the PDM - multifunctional strength
platform. This tool allows to perform static and dynamic analysis of forces and pressures while the subject is in standing position or in
motion , with or without shoes. It also evaluates the distribution of loads, allowing detailed analysis about the characteristics of the different
moments of the pressure distribution of the foot (provided by the software that processes data in real-time).
Results: The results of the survey showed not only a relationship between height, weight, dietary habits, lifestyles and the type of plantar
pressure distribution, but also revealed a possible relationship between motor-sport practice and the characteristics of the pressure
distribution of the foot. The research opens up to further studies on the ’modelling’ functions of motor-sport practice related to the type
and the characteristics of foot pressure distribution.

Introduction: Studies on the relationships between body and learning processes are embedded in a broad area of research that studies
the relationship between education and neuroscience (Gallese, 2006), investigating the neurophysiological (Iacoboni, 2005) and neuropsychological
(LeDoux, 2002) mechanisms that regulate the bodily dimension of the person (Sibilio, 2002). The aim of the work is to analyze
a possible relationship between the energy / calories expenditure (EE) of students of primary school and low secondary school and
learning through the traditional teaching actions and the psychomotor-methodological ones.
Methods: The study, carried out in 14 schools of the Province of Salerno, was conducted on a sample of 95 pupils (45F-50M) of an age
ranging between 7 and 10 years and between 12 and 15 years.
