Presentation of the subject

Ergonutrition and supplementation are ancient concepts originating from classical Greece and that have evolved to the present day with a single objective: to manipulate certain aspects of nutrition to achieve maximum sports or health performance. We will develop a syllabus where we can see the concepts of ergonutrition and supplementation, as well as the classification of different ergonutritional aids with their evidence, solvency and objectives.

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 lectures and in seminar sessions. The different nutritional and dietary responses in both women and men will become visible. Female bibliographic 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

The acquisition of skills by the student will be assessed through the continuous assessment system, weighing and evaluating the results obtained from the application of the assessment procedures described in the Master's Report.

EVALUATION SYSTEM:

Evaluation system Weighting
SE1. Oral presentation 40%
SEV1. Online exams 30%
SEV2. Online questionnaires 15%
SEV3. Participation in online forums and debates 15%

Evaluation activities
Final exam
Group work and oral presentation
Virtual self-assessment questionnaires
Evaluation questionnaires associated with a reading, audiovisual material or podcast

A system of quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, notable, excellent, honorary registration) is used according to RD 1125/2003.
In order for the exam grade to be averaged with the rest of the grades obtained during the course of the subject, it will be necessary to obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5 points out of a total of 10 points.

The individual evaluation (SE1, SEV2 and SEV3) must be graded according to the weighting established in the evaluation system. This grade must be equal to or greater than 3 points out of 10 to be averaged with the other evaluation tests. Failure to achieve this minimum score implies failure in the subject.
According to UPF regulations, students who have the option to make up the subject are those who have obtained a grade of "fail". If the subject is not passed, the only part that can be retaken is the exam, with an extraordinary exam (retake) within the same academic year.
The evaluation system and recovery period are detailed in the Learning Plan available in the virtual classroom at the beginning of the subject.

Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center'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.
