Learning outcomes |
This curricular unit aims to develop knowledge about gym activities (cardiorespiratory, strength training, group classes) and skills on the principles of exercise evaluation and prescription in gym contexts that allow the teaching and monitoring of the activities developed. Demonstrate knowledge of the origin, evolution and classification of different fitness activities. • Demonstrate knowledge and ability to use the material and specific equipment of different fitness activities, with the capacity to create conditions for education / training to meet safety standards. • Ensure the methodology with respect to the component sequence and structure of classes as well as the basic skills of pedagogy in teaching / training in several and different fitness activities. • Demonstrate ability to coordinate and conduct exercise programs aimed at promoting health and well-being.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
It will be organized in theoretical, theoretical-practical classes and tutorials. In the theoretical classes, the contents related to the characterization of the various academic activities under study will be introduced and the methodological approaches of their teaching / learning process are presented. In the theoretical-practical classes, their technical procedures are predominantly developed in concrete situations of experimentation, with a view to assimilating the didactic-methodological sequences of their teaching by the students.
The evaluation of the contents of the curricular unit is based on the realization of a theoretical component and a practical component. The theoretical component will be obtained through a written test (40% of the final classification). The practical component will be obtained through an individual report on an observed group class (25% of the final classification) and the teaching of a group class (25% of the final classification).
