Description


This subject studies the neurophysiological and neuropsychological foundations applied to human movement and its development. From the theories of control and motor learning and the study of their factors and influences, the professional of the Sciences of Physical Activity and Sport will know and apply the instruments and methodologies of measurement and development of human motor behavior. On the other hand, students will have the opportunity to know the basic processes involved in the coordination of movements and how they are modified from learning and growth.

The contents of the subject are related to other subjects of the degree such as Pedagogy and Psychology of sport.

Requirements for evaluating the work in group and average:

- Minimum performance required to 65% internships. Compulsory internship attendance of 65% to be assessed in this item. Absences may not be justified.

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 . ”

Evaluation in recovery period:

Within the same course, there is the possibility of recovering skills not achieved during the course.

According to UPF regulations, students who have the option of retrieving the subject are those who have obtained a “suspended” grade, which are the only ones that can be modified in the recovery process. If the grade is Not Presented, you will not be eligible for recovery.
