As a professional in physical activity and sport, undergraduate students must understand in depth the functioning of the body during physical exercise, as well as know the way in which the different systems respond before the physical training
The main objective of this subject is for students to acquire the necessary skills to identify the adaptations that occur in the body as a result of physical exercise in order to improve performance and/or improve the functionality of the different organs and systems, thus increasing the person's functional capacity.
In the Physiology subject of Exercise I, undergraduate students must acquire specific knowledge about the effects that physical exercise has on different systems of the body. On the other hand, the social and environmental relevance of the gender perspective will be emphasized through information-seeking activities and critical debates.
Regarding the dynamics of the sessions, the subject is face-to-face. Face-to-face teaching and learning requires a significant effort on the part of both the students and the teaching staff. It is essential that the requested tasks are carried out within the established deadlines in order to make good use of the sessions and thus achieve a correct learning process. This subject has methodological and digital resources to make it possible to continue it in a non-face-to-face mode if necessary. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills specified in this teaching plan will be ensured. The TecnoCampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools necessary to carry out the subject, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-face-to-face mode.
The subject's methodology will be carried out by combining face-to-face classroom time with independent work time, supported by the virtual learning environment. The percentage of time that students spend is distributed as follows:
|
Activities |
ECTS |
Face-to-face sessions in the classroom, theoretical-practical seminars in small groups, personalized tutorials) |
Theoretical presentations with audiovisual support, group work, application of practice to theory, problem-based learning (PBL), presentations by students |
2.4 |
Self-employment
|
Personal study, problem solving, information searches (bibliography, webography), guided works (questionnaires, wikis, debates, forums ...) |
3.6 |
There will be mainly master classes combined with participatory teaching techniques to ensure that students acquire theoretical knowledge.
Theoretical Semester - Practicals in small groups in the Laboratory of Physical Activity, Performance and Health (LARS) so that students acquire the transfer of theoretical content to practice. Seminars with activities in small groups in the classroom for the acquisition of skills, increased participation, transmission of theoretical-practical content, learning to debate and defend an opinion.
The subject's activities follow the continuous assessment system, that is to say that throughout the term the teaching staff proposes several activities, which the students must solve and hand in. The work of each of the activities allows students to be assessed, the follow-up they do in the subject and the elements of improvement, based on the comments and notes that the teachers will make of the activities.
The proposed activities can be individual or in work groups. The teachers give the instructions so that the students can prepare and deliver them. All the activities that are proposed are designed so that the students have a practical perspective of the topics that develop throughout the ten weeks of the term.
The assessment will consist of a recognition of the level of learning achieved by the student, materialized in the numerical grade, in accordance with the provisions of current legislation.
Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September, which establishes the European credit system and the system of qualifications in university degrees of an official nature and valid throughout the state):
0 - 4,9: Suspension (SS)
5,0 - 6,9: Approved (AP)
7,0 - 8,9: Notable (NT)
9,0 - 10: Excellent (SB)
The student's grade is the result of a continuous assessment and a final assessment. Passing the subject is obtained with a grade equal to or greater than 5 points (out of 10 points), according to the following weighting table and NECESSARY criteria to make the average between the assessment activities:
Evaluation activity |
Weighting |
Assessed skills |

The individual work will consist of carrying out different activities (eg: quizzes in Moodle about the practices). On the other hand, the group work will deal with one of the subjects of the subject and will be proposed by the teaching staff.
In accordance with UPF regulations, you can only opt for recovery if the subject has been suspended. If the grade is Not Presented, you will not be eligible for recovery. The note of the other parties will be kept during the recovery period.
The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.
