Human motor skills are characterized by the ability to maintain balance while performing various tasks. These tasks can be very diverse. In the subject "Gymnastic, acrobatic and castle activities" we will focus on those that involve coordination and balance to orient the body correctly in space, such as turning on oneself, turning on the point of support or suspension. , supporting other objects or companions on the shoulders, etc. Gymnastic and acrobatic activities are characterized by the fact that their teaching focus is turns and balances in many situations, which makes them essential for proper motor development. of children and adolescents.
The subject presents the bases for a technical analysis of acrobatic and gymnastic activities in general that will help the student to identify and understand the different basic motor actions that make up a gymnastic element or an acrobatics. At the same time, the knowledge of the basic motor actions makes possible the construction of a didactic plan for the teaching of the gymnastic elements and the acrobatics. Gymnastic and acrobatic activities that require the interaction of one or more classmates to perform the element are included in this subject within acrosport. A traditional application of "acrosport"
in Catalonia they are the castellers. This traditional perspective has also been incorporated into the subject in order to integrate their own culture and traditions into the knowledge of students.
Many of these gymnastic, acrobatic and casteller activities are performed at a pace. The basic analysis of music to find out its beats and rhythms is essential for the final execution of the movements of these activities. In addition, the transversality of this knowledge makes it an important and useful knowledge for other activities. It is also important to highlight the importance of the main physical abilities that support these activities: strength and flexibility. Exercises and methods to improve both abilities specifically in gymnastic, acrobatic and castellar activities will be treated because
thus they are part of the teaching of this type of activities.

• Identify the psycho and sociomotor requirements of the skills of various sports and sports activities, knowing the technical-tactical elements that structure them and execute them basically.

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

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.

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.

Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September) that establishes the European system of credits and the system of qualifications to the university degrees of official character and validity in all the state territory:

0 - 4,9: Suspended

5,0 - 6,9: Approved

7,0 - 8,9: Notable

9,0 - 10: Excellent

In accordance with current regulations, you can only opt for recovery, if it has been suspended the subject. If the rating is Not presented, you will not be eligible for recovery.

Continuous evaluation:

Continuous assessment consists of three major blocks: (1) examination, (2) group work, (3) seminars, and (4) individual work. In order to be able to apply the sum of weighted marks to each of these parts, it is essential to have passed the theoretical part of the exam; will be considered passed when the grade is equal to or greater (≥) than 5 points.

(1) The exam has a total weighting of 50% (30% theoretical part + 20% practical part). The exams that will be carried out in the subject are:

a) Theoretical exam (30%). This will evaluate concepts and knowledge developed in the classes or in the activities of extension of knowledge proposed. The methods used to evaluate will be: questions with multiple answers, short questions and / or relationship questions.

b) Practical exam (20%). This will assess the knowledge and procedures developed in the classes. In this evaluation the examiners will take into account the execution and demonstration of different tasks by the student, the student's ability to perform the aids correctly, and the suitability of the corrections that the student proposes in a practical case. .

(2) Group work they have a total weighting of 30% (10% work in group_1 + 20% work in group_2). The group work that will be carried out in the subject are:

a) Group work_1 (10%): elaboration of a general and specific warm-up with musical base.

b) Group work_3 (20%): Realization of a video-tutorial, as well as the files of the basic motor actions and the basic gymnastic elements, including the possible transfers (family of elements) that can follow one another, select exercises of progressions and physical preparation.

(3) The seminars they have no weighting. Attendance is mandatory. The student has the duty to attend 80% of the sessions to be able to average all the parts. An attendance of less than 80% will mean the suspension of the subject.

(4) Individual work they have a total weighting of 20%.

Failure to appear in any part of the continuous assessment implies a 0 in that part, except for the theoretical exam.. Failure to take the theoretical exam does not allow you to take the retake and therefore the subject is suspended.

Students who do not pass the theoretical exam with a grade equal to or higher than 5 can take the retake assessment. The student will only be able to take the retake assessment of the theoretical exam. The remaining grades are maintained by the calculation of the final grade. 

Recovery assessment

It consists of a theoretical exam. The exam will evaluate the concepts, knowledge, theoretical and practical procedures developed in class and in the extension tasks. The evaluation method will be short questions, writing and description questions, and solving cases and / or problems. The exam grade is equivalent to 30% of the final grade. The remaining 70% will be retained from the marks obtained in the continuous assessment. The assessment of recovery is only applicable to the theoretical examination of the subject.
