2058 - NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN HEALTH AND SPORTS PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Subject type: Optional

Coordinator: Sara González Millán

Trimester: First term

Credits: 6

During the teaching-learning process by the student, different documents (textbooks, scientific articles, magazines, etc.) written in different languages ​​will be used.

The subject of "New Technologies in the Evaluation of Health and Sports Performance" is optional and part-time. The aim of this course is to know the technologies used to assess fitness, fitness and sports performance. In addition to the knowledge and operation of the devices and means currently used to assess health and performance, it is intended that students learn to develop assessment protocols related to the analysis of physical abilities, mainly related to the manifestations of endurance (aerobic, anaerobic) and strength (maximum dynamic force, force-speed, endurance by force, etc.) in the field of both health and athletic performance.

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.

- To program basic teaching-learning processes of individual sports, paying attention to their didactic peculiarities, taking into account diversity: gender, age and disability.
- Adapt and train through observation, analysis and functional assessment to people with neurological disabilities with special attention to physical activity (activities of daily living) and sport.
- To know the research in the university field and the main forums of diffusion of the scientific knowledge. Carry out research in the main health and sports databases and know how to write a scientific and technical article.
- To know the basic biomechanical and physiological principles that determine performance in athletics and individual sports.
- Identify and propose exercises to correct technical errors during the assessment tests.
- Use technological tools to analyze movement, health and performance.
- Know and use basic medical and sports English and technical scientific English. Use technological resources and bibliographic search in English, as well as start writing an article in English.

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 individual activities 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 as follows:

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.

Theoretical:

Topic 1. Introduction to sports technology

Topic 2. Monitoring Internal load vs External load

Item 3. Quantitative vs. qualitative analysis

Item 4. Evaluation of aerobic endurance

Item 5. Critical review and scientific analysis of sports technology

Item 6. Evaluation of speed and power

Item 7. Evaluation of strength

Topic 8. Electronic Performance and Tracking Systems (GPS) & Imus

Item 9. Assessment of balance

Topic 10. Wereables

Topic 11. Feedback through live monitoring (how, when and why)

Item 12. Technology in the prevention / rehabilitation of injuries

Practices:

• Quantitative vs. qualitative analysis

• Evaluation of resistance

• Evaluation of power and speed

• Strength assessment

• Assessment of balance

• Use of GPS and Imus in sport and physical activity

• Live feedback through monitoring tools

• Validation of a technological device

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.

The acquisition of skills by the student will be assessed through the system of continuous assessment and, in particular, weighing and assessing the results obtained from the application of the following assessment procedures:

a) Participation and realization of the formative activities.

b) Active participation in classes, debates, etc.

c) Preparation and resolution of practical cases.

d) Design and participation of practical sessions.

e) Field practical test of physical activity

The evaluation will conclude with a recognition on the level of learning achieved by the student, materialized in the numerical qualification, in accordance with the established in the valid legislation.

Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September, which establishes the European credit system and the system of qualifications in 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: Excellent (SB)

- System of evaluation of each part of the asignatura:

The following table specifies the different evaluation activities, the evaluation systems and their weight in the final grade.

To pass the course it is mandatory:

- Do 70% of the practical sessions.

- Minimum weighting 5/10 in the practical exam to be able to average with the rest of the activity of the continuous evaluation. 

Each part of the subject may have a different number of continuous assessment activities, maintaining the proportion in the volume of dedication and the weights (percentages) that appear in this Teaching Plan of the subject.

Recovery

Students not presented in the exam conducted during the continuous assessment will not be entitled to recovery.

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
