Learning outcomes |
This course aims to develop understanding of the structure and function of organs and systems that support human movement. This course also addresses various physiological responses resulting from acute and chronic adaptations to exercise and training.
• To describe and understand the structure and function of organs and systems that support human movement.
• To identifiy and justify the main physiological adaptations to exercise, in particular about the neuromuscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
• To demonstrate understanding of the biological basis of sport training, the respective underlying biological principles and the main limiting factors of human performance.
• To describe and understand simplified methodologies for the assessment of muscular effort at different intensities (aerobic and anaerobic), applying the respective instrumental needs.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Classes will consist of theoretical and/or theoretical-practical/laboratory sessions. Theoretical classes are fundamentally expository in nature, in which the entire component inherent to “knowledge” as content is brought together. These theoretical sessions can be followed by students using the digital notebook provided by the teacher and, additionally, through the reference bibliography. Theoretical-practical classes will be used to teach more practical content, from a perspective of knowledge integration, contact with simple physiological assessment protocols and for the discussion of problems that require a physiological interpretation.
The assessment of this UC will include two elements: a written test (individual and without consultation - 80%); an oral presentation (3 to 4 students - 20%) on the topic "Evaluation, control and physiological monitoring of training/performance.
It will be considered mandatory to have 50% attendance at classes taught to attend and access the exam.
