  • Incorporate habits of excellence and quality for professional practice

Description


Physical activity and current sport have two main clear objectives: to obtain the maximum possible performance and to safeguard the health of those who practice it. To achieve this, we must be able to design and apply different exercises that meet these two maxims.

Knowing what to do, why to do it and how to do it, is crucial to the good outcome of the process.

Functional means that it has a purpose and that it is in relation to the goal we have set ourselves. Functional is what really prepares the person or athlete for the sport or activity for which he trains.

Data and variables that may be related to their performance and health will be managed, and the training process will be seen as an integrated set of decisions and actions. The integration of conditional variables and their functional assessment offers a careful, demanding and confident knowledge of what each sport is like, how it is played, how it is trained and how it should be trained, redefining training under functionality.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

Learning outcomes


2. To program basic teaching-learning processes of various sports and sports activities, with attention to their didactic peculiarities, taking into account diversity: gender, age, disability.

 

 

Working methodology


Methodology in part-time subjects of the CAFE Degree

This is a part-time subject. This means that there is a% part of the subject that is done in person, in the classroom, with different activities individually or in groups of students and a% of the subject that is worked autonomously, outside of the classroom.

The methodology in part-time subjects requires the responsibility of the student, and their good time management.

The methodology of the subject will be carried out combining face-to-face classroom time, with autonomous work time, with the support of the virtual learning environment. The percentage of time the student spends is distributed in the manner

Next:

 

 

Activities

ECTS

Face-to-face sessions in the classroom (theory presentation, seminars, personalized tutorials)

Theoretical presentations with audiovisual support, simulations, role-playing games, group work, application of practice to theory, problem-based learning (PBL), simulations

1.2

Self-employment

 

Personal study, problem solving, information search (bibliography, webography), guided work (questionnaires), model reproduction, video capsules, problem solving

4.8

 

Both in the face-to-face sessions and in the autonomous work, the student will work individually and in work groups.

Each ECTS is equivalent to 25 hours of student dedication, considering the time invested in the total of the activities related to the face-to-face time and the time of autonomous work, that the professor of the subject guides, as well as the reading times, information search, connection to the Virtual Classroom, elaboration of works.

Contents


Topic 1. Functional Training

1.1 Contextualization of Functional Training

1.2 Type of work according to the type of muscle contraction

1.3 Kinetic chains: Why should we train movements and not muscles?

1.4 Accurate application of various materials for functional strength training

 

Item 2. Functional Assessment

2.1 Assessment of the ADM and stability: test, instruments and application of the results

2.2 Assessment of strength: test, instruments and application of the results

 

Topic 3. Adaptation of functional strength training to special population groups

3.1 High performance/elite: functional strength training.

3.2 Special populations (children and adolescents): functional strength training.

 

Learning activities


The activities of the subject follow the system of continuous evaluation, that is to say, that throughout the term the professor raises several activities, that the students must solve and deliver. The work of each one of the activities allows to value to the student the follow-up that does to the asignatura and the elements of improvement, from the comments and notes that the professor will do of the activities.

The proposed activities can be individual or in work groups. The teacher gives the instructions so that the students can elaborate and deliver them. All the activities proposed are designed so that students have a practical perspective on the topics that are developed throughout the ten weeks of the term.

1. Final practical exam: it will consist of practical situations to which what has been explained in class must be applied: explanation, execution and correction of exercises. Realization in pairs.

2. Individual work: it will consist of answering questions directly in the virtual classroom (on videos, articles, theory given in class, practical situations, etc.)

3. Group work: it will consist of solving real situations and designing exercises on functional assessment of strength and adm.

Evaluation system


Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September, which establishes the European credit system and the system of qualifications for university degrees of an official nature and valid throughout the state):

0 - 4,9: Suspension (SS)

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

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

9,0 - 10: Outstanding (SB)

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

Evaluation activity

Weighting

Assessed skills

Practices or individual work

30%

CB3, G4, G8, G9, T3, T6, T7, E7, E9, E11, E13

Practices or group work

30%

CB3, G4, G8, G9, T3, T6, T7, E7, E9, E11, E13

Attendance and participation

NECESSARY criteria for averaging between the evaluation activities:

 

Evaluation activity

Weighting

Practices or individual work

30% and any grade between 0 and 10

Internships or group work

30% and any grade between or 10

Attendance and participation

10% and above 7,5/10

Exam

30% and above 5/10


IMPORTANT:

Attendance is not mandatory, but must be higher than 75% to add to the final grade.

Any grade between 0 and 10 can be obtained in the continuous assessment (practices or individual and group work).

The exam cannot be suspended, a grade above 5/10 must be obtained.

The final average of the subject must be higher than 5/10

Attendance is only valid for improving grades, not for passing the subject.

 

Recovery

In accordance with current regulations, in the evaluation activity of the exam, you can only opt for the recovery of the subject, if it has been suspended. In case of Not Presented, you will not be eligible for recovery.

If the final average of the subject is lower than 5 and therefore it is suspended, it will have to be recovered. The following scenarios can occur:

- Final exam suspended: subject suspended regardless of average. The exam must be retaken with a grade higher than 5.

- Final exam passed and average suspended due to continuous assessment: The continuous assessment must be approved with the completion of an assignment. Extension, index, contents, etc. will be informed in due course.

- Suspended final average due to continuous assessment and suspended final exam: The continuous assessment must be approved with the completion of an assignment. Extension, index, contents, etc. will be informed in due course and the exam must be retaken with a grade greater than 5.

Evaluation activity in recovery period

Weighting

Final work continuous assessment

60% and above 5/10

 

Attendance and participation

10% and more than 7,5/10

Examen

30% and more than 5/10

 

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.
