Description


Cineanthropometry is the science that studies the relationship between structure and human function (Ross, 1978). Etymologically, it means "size of the human being in motion."

  Cineanthropometry is a transversal science that can be used, and therefore demanded in terms of its training, by multiple areas of knowledge, both in the field of health (medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, physical activity sciences and of sport, dietetics and human nutrition ...), as well as from certain technical careers that work with canons of human proportionality (industrial engineering, architecture, design ...). 

AThis subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

 

Learning outcomes


Identify specific health needs according to the sociocultural characteristics of individuals and the community to respond effectively to the needs of all populations.

Working methodology


This is a part-time subject. This means that there is a% part of the subject that is done in person, in the classroom, with different activities individually or in groups of students and a% of the subject that is worked autonomously, outside of the classroom.

The methodology in part-time subjects requires the responsibility of the student, and their good time management.

The methodology of the subject will be carried out combining face-to-face classroom time, with autonomous work time, with the support of the virtual learning environment. The percentage of time the student spends is distributed as follows:

 

Activities

ECTS

Face-to-face sessions in the classroom (theory presentation, seminars, personalized tutorials)

Theoretical presentations with audiovisual support, simulations, role-playing games, group work, application of practice to theory, problem-based learning (PBL), presentations by students, simulations

1.2

Self-employment

 

Personal study, problem solving, information search (bibliography, webography), guided work (questionnaires, wikis, debates, forums ...), model reproduction, video capsules, problem solving

4.8

 

Both in the face-to-face sessions and in the autonomous work, the student will work individually and in work groups.

Each ECTS is equivalent to 25 hours of student dedication, considering the time invested in the total of the activities related to the face-to-face time and the time of autonomous work, that the professor of the subject guides, as well as the reading times, information search, connection to the Virtual Classroom, elaboration of works.

Learning activities


The activities of the subject follow the system of continuous evaluation, that is to say, that throughout the term the professor raises several activities, that the students must solve and deliver. The work of each one of the activities allows to value to the student, the follow-up that does to the asignatura and the elements of improvement, from the comments and notes that the professor will do of the activities.

The proposed activities can be individual or in work groups. The teacher gives the instructions so that the students can elaborate and deliver them. All the activities proposed are designed so that students have a practical perspective on the topics that are developed throughout the ten weeks of the term.

Evaluation system


Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September) that establishes the European system of credits and the system of qualifications to the university degrees of official character and validity in all the state territory:

0 - 4,9: Suspended

5,0 - 6,9: Approved

7,0 - 8,9: Notable

9,0 - 10: Excellent

Final evaluation:

  • Practical exam (ISAK restricted profile)

CB4, G4, T3, T7, E8.

 

Continued avaluation:

  • Group work (moodle activities)

20%

CB4, G4, T3, T7, E8.

 

Continued avaluation:

  • Individual works (articles, questionnaires ...)

CB4, G4, T3, T7, E8.

 

Attendance at practical cineanthropometry sessions

10%

CB4, G4, T7, E8.

 

Requirements to pass the continuous assessment: 

The final grade of the students will be obtained through a continuous assessment valued at 40% (group work - 20% - and individual work of a compulsory nature - 20% -) and a final assessment (practical exam - 50% -) . Finally, attendance at practical classes will be valued at 10%. To pass the course, a minimum of 5 points must be obtained both in the practical exam (final assessment) and in all the activities corresponding to the continuous assessment. Attendance at practical classes must always be equal to or greater than 80% in order to pass the entire course. The evaluation activity in the recovery period will be a face-to-face practical exam, with the same characteristics as the 1ª call. This exam will weigh 50% of the evaluation and must be passed with a minimum of 5 points (out of 10 points) to be able to evaluate the whole subject. The remaining grades (continuous assessment) will be maintained.

Recovery:

In accordance with current regulations, you can only opt for recovery, if it has been suspended the subject. If the rating is Not presented, you will not be eligible for recovery.
