This subject studies the neurophysiological and neuropsychological foundations applied to human movement and its development. From the theories of control and motor learning and the study of their factors and influences, the professional of the Sciences of Physical Activity and Sport will know and apply the instruments and methodologies of measurement and development of human motor behavior.
On the other hand, students will have the opportunity to know the basic processes involved in the coordination of movements and how they are modified from learning and growth.
The contents of the subject are related to other subjects of the double degree such as: Pedagogy, Psychology of sport, Basic Manifestations of Motor Skills and Physiology.
1. Carry out activities for sports initiation in physical education, sport and recreation.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of the neurophysiological and neuropsychological foundations underlying the control of human movement and its development.
3. Carry out, in a structured way, the advanced application of motor control and learning in the fields of action of physical activity and sport, and, where appropriate, considering the differences by gender.
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:
|
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 (ABP), presentations by students |
2.4 |
Self-employment
|
Personal study, problem solving, information search (bibliography, webography), guided work (questionnaires, wikis, debates, forums ...), model reproduction, video capsules, problem solving |
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.
The final grade of the student is the result of a continuous assessment and a final assessment. 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:
