The University Foro Italico (Italian: Università degli Studi di Roma Foro Italico , also Università di Roma 4 ) is one of the four state universities in the Italian capital, Rome, and the only state sports university in Italy . It is based in the Foro Italico sports complex in the north of the city, between the Tiber and the Olympic Stadium .
Until 1998 the university was called Istituto Superiore di Educazione Fisica (ISEF) , until 2008 it was called Istituto Universitario di Scienze Motorie in Italian and Italian University of Sport and Movement in English , both abbreviated as IUSM . It has had its current name since 2008.
history
Since the unification of Italy in 1861 there have been attempts to organize the training of physical education teachers in state (high) schools for physical education . The various schools were closed again and again.
Today's university goes back to an academy for physical education for men founded by the fascist government in 1928, and another for women, which opened in Orvieto in 1932 . The training of the sports teacher initially lasted two years, after two more years one could acquire a sports science degree. Later there was a uniform three-year training course. For the academy in Rome, the government built a corresponding building complex and other facilities in today's Foro Italico . After the end of the fascist government, the academy was dissolved in 1943.
Since there was still a need for a sports university, the Republic of Italy founded the Istituto Superiore di Educazione Fisica in 1952 in the same place . The university education lasted three years at the time. In 1958 the academic degrees of the ISEF were put on an equal footing with those of the other state universities (diploma universitario) . In the following years, other ISEFs, which were equivalent to the institute in Rome, were set up in Turin (1959), Naples and Bologna (1960), Florence (1963), Milan (1964), Palermo (1965), Urbino and Perugia (1967) and L ' Aquila (1968) with numerous branch offices. In 1998, these ISEFs and their sports science courses were taken over by universities. From the ISEF in Rome, on the other hand, after the aforementioned name changes, today's central and only state sports university in Italy emerged. Foro Italico University has the right to award doctorates (PhD in Human Movement and Sport Sciences) .
