Molti sportivi non sanno è che l’equilibrio acido-base è uno dei fattori più importanti per le prestazioni atletiche. Gli atleti nel macro-ciclo di fase di carico dell’allenamento sono duramente colpiti dall’acidosi tissutale, una condizione in cui il pH del corpo tende verso valori marcatamente acidi a causa dello stress dell’allenamento ma anche per via degli alimenti assunti per supportare la preparazione fisica.
Uno stato di acidosi diventa quindi causa e conseguenza delle ridotte capacità di recupero dell’atleta e non crea le condizioni per ottenere il massimo della forma fisica. Quando a questa situazione di over training (sovrallenamento) caratterizzata da un surplus di acido lattico, si combinano gli effetti acidificanti di alimenti ricchi di proteine animali (formaggi, carne e pesce etc) consumati dagli atleti con l’intento di ricostruire il muscolo si ottiene la tempesta perfetta di acidità.

This newsletter provides a summary of the second project meeting for the IT-Shape project, which took place in Pontedera, Italy from April 1-3, 2014. The meeting evaluated progress on project activities over the past six months. A survey of 500 Hungarian vocational students found they are open to obtaining a European-level IT certificate but lack strong English skills. Hungarian teachers piloted the EUCIP Core certification exams but found translation issues. The meeting covered the EUCIP Core certification process and modules. Introducing the certification at an Italian school required adapting curricula and using new teaching methodologies like CLIL. Critical challenges included maintaining teacher motivation and the extra time needed for English exams.
The aim of the meeting was to evaluate and discuss the activities carried out so far and to examine the activities to perform before the next meeting, which will take place in Ireland at the end of October. The second IT-Shape meeting, attended by representatives of the 10 project partners, took place on 1st, 2nd and 3rd April 2014 at ITCG E. Fermi in Pontedera. The Pontedera meeting followed the kick-off meeting that took place in November in Budapest (Hungary). Between the two meetings, six months of hard work on the project.

The project has 8 work packages and will result in a cooperation platform, new VET curricula delivered across partners, and a governance plan to ensure sustainability.
