Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The evaluation of the curricular unit will be carried out through the evaluation of students' performance in relation to the mastery and understanding of concepts related to the prescription of physical exercise in a healthy population, in individual or group monitoring, but also with the application of this knowledge in an assessment of an practical, using oral presentations and discussions, as well as the
implementation of physical exercise sessions.
1 - Group work on individualized training planning for a specific case and implementation of a personalized training session (written work, oral presentation and practical application of a session) – 25%
2 - Group work on group lesson planning (written work, oral presentation and practical application of a session) – 25%
3 – Analysis of a scientific article on the prescription of physical exercise with presentation/discussion in class – 15%
4 – Final exam– 35%
Final grade = Weighted average1-4
If final grade < 6, FAIL
