Description


The subject of pharmacology and nutrition, which includes two specific areas of knowledge (pharmacology and nutrition) aims to introduce second-year students of the Degree in Physiotherapy in the knowledge and use of pharmacological strategies and knowledge. of the fundamental principles of human nutrition applied to physiotherapy.

The gender perspective will be an aspect that the teaching staff will take into account by making an inclusive and non-sexist use of language and promoting the equal participation of everyone in a respectful and inclusive environment both in lectures and in seminar sessions. The different nutritional and pharmacological responses in both women and men will become visible.

Regarding the images of the content in the teaching material, the non-perpetuation of stereotypes will be encouraged.

LO8. It applies, based on knowledge, the effects of physical activity and physical interventions, caused on the biochemical reactions of different human organs and systems.

LO10. It applies, based on knowledge, the changes and adaptations that occur due to variation in age, gender and environmental stress.

Evaluation system


The evaluation of the subject is continuous, through different tools to assess the different skills needed to pass the subject.

The evaluation of the subject will be done through the following activities:

  • A final exam, which will consist of a multiple-choice test and a written test of short questions.
  • Elaboration of an electronic portfolio related to the syllabus worked during the subject.
  • Oral presentation of the problems posed in the seminars and delivery of these.
  • Self evaluation.
  • Co-evaluation among students.

The assessment of competencies will take into account the presence and involvement during seminars and problem solving as well as individual interventions in the different exercises on the Moodle platform.
