Presentation of the subject

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.

The gender perspective will be an aspect that the teaching staff will take into account by making an inclusive and non-sexist use of language and promoting the equal participation of everyone in a respectful and inclusive environment both in the master classes and in the seminar sessions. Female bibliographical references will be provided in the classroom to the extent that the subject allows it and the full first name of the authors will be used. Regarding the images of the content in the teaching material, the non-perpetuation of stereotypes will be encouraged.

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.

Activities and evaluation system

Evaluation and qualification system

Rating system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of September 5) which establishes the European system of credits and the system of qualifications for university degrees of an official nature and valid throughout the national territory:

0 - 4,9: Suspended (SS)

5,0 - 6,9: Approved (AP)

7,0 - 8,9: Notable (NT)

9,0 - 10: Excellent (SB)

The student's final grade is the result of a continuous assessment through different assessment activities. The subject is passed with a grade equal to or greater than 5 points (out of 10 points) according to the following weighting table:

The evaluation of the subject will consist of:

  • Final exam (final assessment)
  • Group practice reports (continuous group assessment)
  • Individual questionnaires (individual continuous assessment)
  • Attendance and participation in practical classes (individual continuous assessment)

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 multiple-choice part and a part of open questions. If the multiple-choice part is not passed with a grade equal to or greater than 5/10, the final exam will be failed.

- 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 practical classes is mandatory. If attendance is not equal to or greater than 75%, the subject will be failed.

- 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 for the subject failed due to continuous assessment: subject failed. Continuous assessment cannot be recovered and if the final grade for the subject is less than 5/10, despite passing the final exam, the subject will be failed.

Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the school's assessment regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in this subject is regulated in the Learning Plan. It should be consulted to find out the specific conditions of use.
