Competencies / Learning Outcomes

Basic skills

  • CB6. Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context

  • CB8. That students are capable of integrating knowledge and facing the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, while incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.

  • CB10. That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a manner that will be largely self-directed or autonomous

     

Specific skills

  • CE4. Examine the mechanisms and risk factors that condition postural hygiene, diseases and injuries and, consequently, design a strategic action plan with protocols for the prevention of injuries and diseases, as well as for the progressive reincorporation into daily and sports activities.

  • CE5. Implement protocols for the evaluation and control of physical and sports rehabilitation in a multidisciplinary environment based on the individual needs of people.

General competencies

  • CG1. Apply information and communication technologies in the context of personal training, injury and disease prevention and physical and sports rehabilitation

Transversal competences

  • CT1. Build critical thinking by analyzing one's own learning process and assertively and rationally discussing other people's and one's own ideas in an eloquent context.

  • CT2. Demonstrate the skills for cooperative work and participation in multidisciplinary teams in accordance with the principles of the code of ethics of their profession, incorporating attitudes such as effort, respect and commitment as a hallmark.

Presentation of the subject

Within any physical and sports rehabilitation process, it is important to know which risk factors influenced the injury as well as to control and evaluate both the workloads and the evolution of the entire process.

The objective of this subject is to provide tools to assess the readaptation process, to assess it in the different phases until returning to competition and to learn to control workloads through the methodologies and technologies currently in existence.

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. 

Contents

  • New technologies applied in Readaptation. Apps, gadgets and other tools to measure "return to training" and "return to play"

Activities and evaluation system

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 each teaching plan of the subject.

The evaluation will conclude with a recognition of the level of learning achieved by the student, materialized in the numerical qualification, in accordance with the provisions of current legislation. Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of September 5, which establishes the European Credit System and the qualification system in university degrees of an official nature and valid throughout the state territory):

0 - 4,9: Fail (SS) 5,0 - 6,9: Pass (AP) 7,0 - 8,9: Notable (NT) 9,0 - 10: Excellent (SB)

Evaluation system Weighting
SE2. Written exam 20%
SE3. Individual work 30%
SE4. Collective work 30%
SEV2. Online questionnaires 10%
SEV3. Participation in online forums and debates 10%

In the individual sections SE3, SEV2, SEV3, a minimum average of 3 out of 10 must be obtained from all individual assessment activities in order to be able to average and pass 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.
