Learning outcomes |
At the end of the Specific Training in Individual Sports course (*), the student should be able to:
a. Understand organizational structures, their organization and management models
b. Characterize the functioning of the Pure Swimming structure, its regulations and competitive programs
c. Characterize and apply the fundamentals and constraints of training and developing motor skills in swimmers
d. Plan and apply dry training exercises, respecting the methodological principles, context and characteristics of the swimmers
e. Understand the concepts of hydrodynamics in the context of pure swimming
f. Identify and characterize the use of appropriate instruments in technical and biomechanical assessment in pure swimming
g. Plan and conduct training sessions at youth level, respecting the principles of training applied to the characteristics of the participants

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course unit will be assessed by evaluating the students' performance in mastering and understanding the concepts related to sports
development in the sport of pure swimming. Thus, the assessment includes
1 - Attendance on the contents covered - 50%
2 - Report and analysis of a pure swimming test - 25%
3 - Group work on the critical analysis of three scientific articles on one of the syllabuses, with presentation/discussion in class - 25%.
Final grade = Weighted average of 1, 2 and 3
If final grade < 6, FAIL
