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 |
The assessment of this UC seeks to meet all learning objectives by using different mechanisms:
1) Written test (50%), whose assessed information coincides with that taught in T and TP classes, which includes the recommended bibliography; this assessment domain is worth 50% of the final AP grade;
2) Preparation of a lesson plan (25%), developed in groups (maximum of 5 elements); The lesson plan must be delivered to the teacher on a date to be defined
3) Assessment of aquatic motor skills (25%), which presupposes completing a distance of 100m Medley, fulfilling the
technical and regulatory assumptions for swimming; the evaluation will be qualitative in nature.
