Human motor skills are characterized by the ability to maintain balance while performing various tasks. These tasks can be very diverse. In the subject "Gymnastic, acrobatic and castle activities" we will focus on those that involve coordination and balance to orient the body correctly in space, such as turning on oneself, turning on the point of support or suspension. , supporting other objects or companions on the shoulders, etc. Gymnastic and acrobatic activities are characterized by the fact that their teaching focus is turns and balances in many situations, which makes them essential for proper motor development. of children and adolescents.

The subject presents the bases for a technical analysis of acrobatic and gymnastic activities in general that will help the student to identify and understand the different basic motor actions that make up a gymnastic element or an acrobatics. At the same time, the knowledge of the basic motor actions makes possible the construction of a didactic plan for the teaching of the gymnastic elements and the acrobatics. Gymnastic and acrobatic activities that require the interaction of one or more classmates to perform the element are included in this subject within acrosport. A traditional application of "acrosport" in Catalonia are the castellers. This traditional perspective has also been incorporated into the subject in order to integrate their own culture and traditions into the knowledge of students.

Many of these gymnastic, acrobatic and casteller activities are performed to a rhythm. The basic analysis of music to find out its beats and rhythms is essential for the final execution of the movements of these activities. In addition, the transversality of this knowledge makes it an important and useful knowledge for other activities. It is also important to emphasize the importance of the main physical abilities that support these activities: strength and flexibility. Exercises and methods to improve both abilities specifically in gymnastic, acrobatic and casteller activities will be treated so that they are part of the teaching. of such activities.

Regarding the gender perspective from the subject, care will be taken to use a non-sexist and inclusive language at all times. On the other hand, we consider it very important to exemplify with male and female references fighting against any stereotype in reference to gender and we will encourage work with mixed and heterogeneous groups during the development of the subject.

Recovery assessment

It consists of a theoretical exam. The exam will evaluate the concepts, theoretical and practical procedural knowledge developed in class and in extension tasks. The evaluation method will be short questions, and/or writing and description questions, and solving cases and/or problems. The exam grade is equivalent to 30% of the final grade. The remaining 70% is kept from the marks achieved in the continuous assessment. The make-up assessment is only applicable to the subject's theory exam.
