Description

The subject of pharmacology and nutrition, which includes two specific areas of knowledge (pharmacology and nutrition) aims to introduce second-year students to the Double Degree in Physiotherapy and Physical Activity and Sport Sciences. (CAFE) in the knowledge and use of pharmacological strategies and the knowledge of the fundamental principles of human nutrition applied to the sciences of sport and physiotherapy.

 

Learning outcomes

Identifies the main historical facts of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and biomechanics, as well as knowing how to recognize the study methods and recording techniques most used in these disciplines and interpret their data and graphs.

It applies, based on knowledge, the effects of physical activity and physical interventions, caused on the biochemical reactions of different human organs and systems.

It applies, based on knowledge, the changes and adaptations that occur due to variation in age, gender and environmental stress.

Evaluation system

The evaluation of the subject is continuous, through different tools to assess the different skills needed to pass the subject.

The assessment of competencies will be done through the following activities:

  • A final exam, which will consist of a multiple-choice test and a written test of short questions.
  • Delivery of the problems posed in the seminars.
  • Delivery of individual papers and online questionnaires.

The assessment of competencies will take into account the presence and involvement during seminars and problem solving as well as individual interventions in the different exercises on the Moodle platform.
