Learning outcomes |
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- Deepen their knowledge and skills in the analysis of human movement, promoting a critical attitude in the correction of motor patterns within the scope of exercise and health, and sports training;
- Understand the research methodologies and techniques used in the field of human movement biomechanics in the context of physical exercise, sport and health promotion;
- Demonstrate knowledge and skills in the analysis of human movement, showing the ability to assess motor performance and correct human movement patterns, promoting improved sports performance and quality of life and health;
- Demonstrate the ability to solve biomechanical problems within the scope of exercise and health, and sports training;
- Demonstrate the ability to communicate and explain

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
1. Each module will include a test and a poster on the content of one of the modules.
Proposed dates for the tests:
• Module 1: September 25 at 16:00
• Module 2: October 9 at 16:00 (or October 10)
• Module 3: October 23 at 16:00
• Module 4: October 31 at 14:00
On October 23, the module for the poster assignment, which will count toward the grade, will be announced. The poster submission deadline is November 7.
2. Students may discard up to two assessments and keep the grades of the remaining tests.
3. Tests will account for 70% of the final grade, and the poster for 30%.
4. In the case of grade improvement, only the highest score will count.
5. Note: Any form of academic misconduct during assessments (plagiarism, copying, transcription, etc.) will result in automatic failure of the student(s), and they will not be allowed to sit the exam.
