Presentation of the subject

The elective course on physical and sports activity in special populations aims to consolidate and develop knowledge about personal training in special populations, defining their morphological and physiological characteristics. On the other hand, the subject aims to show new means, materials and methodologies in personal training based on people with physical, sensory or intellectual disabilities.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free from sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, whether 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 prejudice from others. Furthermore, the social and environmental relevance of the gender perspective will be highlighted, through the topic of “Sex, gender and physical exercise”, as well as through information-seeking activities and critical debates.
