Some of the support videos will be in English, with the intention of familiarizing the student with the international technical nomenclature.
B1_That students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study that is based on general secondary education, and is at a level that, if supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspect that involves knowledge from the forefront of their field of study
E1_Know and understand the morphology, physiology, pathology and behavior of people, both healthy and sick, in the natural and social environment
E20_Identify the structural, physiological and biomechanical factors that condition the practice of physical activity and sport
E21_Identify the effects of physical exercise on the structure and function of the human body
Knowledge of the "normal" biomechanics of the human thing is essential to understand the pathomechanical aspects that occur in most pathologies. However, understanding the integral functioning of the neuromuscular skeletal system means that we can establish the appropriate therapeutic interventions in each specific case.
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, if necessary.
This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development.
LO1. Identifies the main historical facts of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and biomechanics, as well as knowing how to recognize the study methods and recording techniques most used in these disciplines, and interpret their data and graphs.
LO2. Identifies the morphological aspects related to the musculoskeletal system as well as those on which human movement is based. Use and explain anatomical terminology accurately.
LO3. Analyze movements and interpret the involvement of the joints and muscles involved, as well as the other factors that determine them.
LO4. It applies, through knowledge to the kinematics and kinetics of human movement. As well as accurately handles and explains biomechanical terminology.
LO5. It applies, based on the knowledge of the biomechanical principles of motor skills, as well as their interrelation with the environment.
LO6. It applies, based on the knowledge of the anatomy, and physiology involved in the bodily systems determining for human movement.

MD1. Expository method or master class: to transmit knowledge and to activate the cognitive processes of the student by means of a unidirectional learning.
MD2. Case study: acquiring learning through the analysis of real or simulated cases.
MD3. Solving exercises and problems: exercising, rehearsing and putting into practice previous knowledge.
MD4. Problem-based learning (PBL): developing active knowledge through problem solving.
MD5. Project-oriented learning: carrying out a project to solve a problem, applying skills and knowledge acquired.
MD6. Cooperative learning: fostering active and meaningful knowledge in a cooperative way.
From the first day of the subject the dates of the evaluation activities will appear in the schedule.
In case of failing the theoretical exam, the student will have the option to make the recovery in the second call. You will not be eligible for the second call without having applied for the first call.
