As physical exercise professionals, the students of the Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences are responsible for the prescription, assessment, programming and quantification of the loads of a training process.
The subject of "Theory and practice of sports training (I)" presents the basics to know the principles of adaptation, load, warm-up, resistance training, amplitude training of movement of the different types of sport.
In this subject, 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.

IMPORTANT:
- In the final assessment, the final exam cannot be suspended, a grade equal to or higher than 5/10 must be obtained to average the final grade. If a grade lower than 5/10 is obtained in the final exam, the subject will be suspended.
- In the final assessment, the final exam will consist of two parts, a test-type part and an open-ended question part. If the test-type part is not passed with a grade equal to or higher than 5/10, the open-ended question part will not be corrected.
- In the continuous group assessment, practice reports will only be counted if you have attended the practice in question. If a group member does not attend a practice, they will be excluded from the delivery of the practice report and will have a grade of 0/10 on that report.
- In the continuous group assessment, the practice reports will be counted with any grade between 0 and 10.
- In the individual continuous assessment, the individual questionnaires will be counted with any grade between 0 and 10.
- In the individual continuous assessment, attendance at the practical classes is not mandatory, but must be higher than 75% to average the final grade. If more than 75% attendance is not obtained, the subject will be suspended.
- In the individual continuous assessment (individual questionnaires and attendance at practical classes), a grade equal to or higher than 3/10 must be obtained to average the final grade, if this requirement is not met, the the subject will be suspended.
- The final mark of the subject will be the result of the final assessment (50%) and the continuous assessment (50%).
- If the final mark of the subject is not higher than or equal to 5/10, the subject will be suspended.
Recovery
- In accordance with current regulations, you can only opt for recovery if you have failed the final exam. If the rating is "Not submitted", you will not be eligible for recovery.
- If the note of the final exam is lower than 5/10 and, therefore, the subject is suspended, the final exam will have to be retaken and pass the 5/10 qualification.
- The following scenarios can occur:
- Final exam suspended: subject suspended regardless of the final mark of the subject. The exam must be retaken with a grade greater than 5.
- Final exam passed and final grade suspended subject due to continuous assessment: subject suspended. The continuous assessment cannot be recovered and if the final mark of the subject is lower than 5/10, despite passing the final exam, the subject will be suspended.
