Description


Body movement is an essential tool in the physiotherapist's therapeutic arsenal. Specifically, physical activity and exercise are expressions of human movement that increasingly have more weight in the treatment of people with different pathologies. In order to carry out an adequate prescription of these tools in the clinical field, it is necessary to know in depth the kinesiology of the different movements of the body and to know how to analyze the parameters and characteristics that make them up.

The subject of functional analysis of exercise and bases of training aims to present the student with the theoretical bases on the movement of the human body in relation to the practice of physical activity and exercise for, subsequently, provide you with the necessary knowledge about the principles of training and the main training methodologies that are used in the clinical field. In the functional analysis part, the tools will be given to start analyzing analytical exercises of different parts of the body, to later analyze functional exercises. At the same time, in the training basics part, the basic principles and concepts of physical training will be explained, as well as the main work methods that can be used to improve the different basic physical abilities which can be affected in the population affecting mainly strength and resistance.

The distribution of the theoretical and/or practical content of the subject can be consulted in the timetable and sections of the corresponding virtual classroom before it starts.

This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development. In addition, the goals are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer the prejudices of others.

Evaluation system


This subject may consider the following indicators detailed in the following table in its evaluation proposal:

Evaluation system Minimum weighting Maximum weighting
SE1. Electronic portfolio 10% 40%
SE2. Oral presentation 20% 50%
SE3. Exam 30% 60%
SE4. self-evaluation 5% 30%
SE5. Peer assessment (2P2) or co-assessment 5% 30%

A system of quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, notable, excellent, honorary registration) is used according to RD 1125/2003.

The subjects will have evaluation and recovery activities in accordance with the teaching guide and the subject's learning plan, published in their virtual classroom and which will establish the necessary requirements to be able to participate.

In accordance with current UPF regulations, all students who, having participated in the learning and assessment activities during the term, have obtained a failing grade for the corresponding subject in the quarterly assessment may participate in the recovery process . Those who have not participated in the learning and assessment activities or who have waived the assessment will not be able to participate. If the grade is "not presented", you will not be able to opt for recovery and therefore the subject will have to be retaken in its entirety in the following academic year.

In the event of copying, plagiarism or illegitimate use of generative artificial intelligence in any assessment activity, you must consult the TecnoCampus University Center's Undergraduate and Master's Course Assessment Regulations.
