Apply knowledge to their work, in a professional way, with the elaboration and defense of arguments and problem solving in the area of Physical Activity and Sport
The Sciences of Physical Activity and Sport have their focus of study on human movement. Human beings can manifest this movement through an incredible range of skills. However, there is a set of these skills that are common to all humans and that are developed in a similar way. The subject "Basic manifestations of motor skills" analyzes the basic skills (posture, gait, jumps, throws, etc.) from the study of motor development. At the same time, this subject gives tools for assessment and construction of tasks for the correct development of basic skills. It is important to note that the basic skills and their development throughout life are observed (childhood - adults - the elderly).
The subject can be divided into two parts. The first establishes the conceptual bases for the later study of motor skills and their development. Special emphasis is placed on the factors of the body, the task and the environment that condition the emergence of the task and the use that the teacher / coach can make to help the student to have a correct motor development. . It also emphasizes the importance of making a good assessment of the basic skills to establish the stage of development of the student and schedule the training correctly. The second part is characterized by the concrete study and practical application of what have been considered basic motor skills. In each of the basic motor skills, after their fundamental description and study of changes throughout life, assessment and task construction tools are presented that facilitate the proper scheduling of training and physical education classes. In addition, given the importance they have in the development of all skills, the study of body scheme and laterality has been included in this second part.
The semi-attendance of the subject implies autonomous work outside the classroom. Face-to-face classes are marked on the schedule.
The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.
The social and environmental relevance of the gender perspective will be emphasized, through the subject's syllabus, as well as through information-seeking activities and critical debates.

Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September) that establishes the European system of credits and the system of qualifications to the university degrees of official character and validity in all the state territory:
0 - 4,9: Suspended
5,0 - 6,9: Approved
7,0 - 8,9: Notable
9,0 - 10: Excellent
The final grade is the result of continuous assessment through the different assessment activities.
The pass of the subject is obtained with a grade equal to or higher than 5 points (out of 10) according to the following weighting table:
Evaluation activity |
Weighting | Skills evaluateds |
Theoretical exam |
50% | G1, G4, G8, E5, E6 |
Seminars |
30% | B3, G4, T4, E5, E6 |
Work in group |
10% | B3, G4, T4 |
Individual work |
10% | B3, T3, T4, E6 |
Necessary criteria for averaging between the evaluation activities:
Evaluation activity | Criteria for averaging |
Theoretical exam | ≥ 5 / 10 |
Seminars | Only a maximum of three seminars with a grade lower than 3 is allowed. More than three grades lower than 3 means failing the subject. |
Work in group | Weight the grade. |
Individual work | Weight the grade. |
Requirements to pass the continuous assessment.
Mandatory minimum completion of 6 seminars with a grade higher than 3 points. If the practice cannot be performed due to illness or injury, a medical certificate must be brought.
IMPORTANT: If the continuous assessment is not passed due to non-compliance with any of the necessary requirements described above, the student can suspend the subject.
Recovery.
Within the same course, there is the possibility of recovering the skills not achieved during the course.
Only the theory exam can be recovered.
In accordance with current regulations, you can only choose to make up the subject through the make-up exam, if this has been suspended. in case of Not Presented in the theoretical exam, you will not be eligible for recovery.
Evaluation activity in recovery period | Weighting | Assessed skills |
Theoretical exam | 50% |
