Description


One of the goals of physiotherapists is to maintain and recover the motor activity of the individual in order to ensure the preservation of the best possible state of health.

This subject, based on the most basic and traditional knowledge of motor skills along with the most up-to-date knowledge of the neurosciences, should allow students to study and reason about what movement and motor activity is, how it develops in the l 'human being, how it is organized from the neurophysiological point of view and how it is modified in relation to the different states of health.

We also want to give the student the opportunity to experience consciously and from different points of view (motor, sensory and cognitive) various basic motor activities that are part of the motor development of the human being and therefore of our daily life. This will allow the student to be able to project and face the treatment in a more global and complete way.

 

This 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.

The TecnoCampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

 

In relation to those practical contents of the subject in which the acquisition of procedural and attitudinal competences by the students is essential, it can be considered, if the sanitary situation requires it, the partial and temporary suspension of this one with the consequent postponement. in its continuity until the health situation allows it. For such purposes, the subject will be temporarily pending the evaluation and assignment of the final grade.

Learning outcomes


• Carries out the analysis of specific behaviors in the different contexts of professional intervention.

• Choose behavior modification techniques that can be used in different areas of professional action.

• Acquires criteria, skills and technological knowledge to develop the teaching-learning processes related to analytical and functional weight training exercises in the field of health, fitness and physical activity.

Evaluation system


Assessment

 Weighting

Final exam

40%

Individual projects

35%

Work in group

15%

Participation in classroom activities (theoretical sessions)

10%

Recommended attendance at practical classes is 80%.

The grades obtained during the term resulting from the continuous assessment (individual, group work or participation in classroom activities) cannot be recovered and therefore the grades will be kept as part of the final grade of the subject ( both passed and not passed).

Instead, students who have failed the final exam will be entitled to a resit exam. ( 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.)

 

Remember that the total or partial copy in any of the learning activities would mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without the option to take the retake test and without prejudice to the opening of a file for it. reason.
