Description


Kinesiology is the science that deals with the study of movement. Thus, this subject will focus on the study and qualitative analysis of the movement of the human body, associated with the practice of physical exercise and sport. To do this, it will be necessary to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the field of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics.

The aim of this subject is to introduce the CAFE student to the field of applied kinesiology, providing him with the knowledge required to understand the anatomy of joint structures and neuromuscular function, and their behavior and involvement during the movement of the human body. The learning and understanding of this knowledge will be obtained through a teaching process focused on the study of the basic foundations of kinesiology and joint physiology, as well as the qualitative analysis of movement during the execution of analytical (simple) and global (complex) gestures.

For CAFE professionals, it is essential to know and describe in detail the analytical movements that occur at the joint level during the performance of exercises, both analytical and global, identifying and addressing those issues involved in the execution of the movement, and which are related to the different areas of application of the CAFE (education, research, health, leisure and sports performance).

Learning outcomes


During the course in Kinesiology of Physical Exercise, and after completing it, the CAFE student will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the following tasks:

  • Analyze the movements and interpret the participation of the joints and muscles involved, as well as the other factors that determine them.
  • Acquire criteria, skills and technological knowledge to develop the teaching-learning processes related to the practice of physical exercise and sport in any of the areas of application of the CAFE (education, research, health, leisure and sports performance).

Working methodology


The methodology of the subject will be carried out combining face-to-face periods of classroom, with periods of autonomous work with support of the virtual environment of learning. 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

3.6

 

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.

Learning activities


In addition to the theoretical content classes, during the development of the teaching period included in this subject, the teacher will propose different activities that will have to be solved and delivered by the students through the platform 'moodle'. That is, a system of continuous evaluation will be applied. The content presented by carrying out these activities will allow to assess the progress of the students with respect to the integration of the teaching content of the subject, as well as to supervise the follow-up that each student carries out on the subject. These tasks will be complemented by timely feedback on the activities developed by the students.

The activities that will be proposed during the continuous evaluation, will suppose the realization of work, so much individual as cooperative. The teacher will provide the necessary indications and / or instructions so that the students can develop, elaborate and carry out the delivery of their works autonomously.

All activities will be based on practical cases that will allow the application of the contents taught in a master class format.

Evaluation system


The evaluation of the subject will consist of a period of continuous evaluation (practices and / or individual and collective works), a partial exam (optional) and a final exam:

  • CONTINUOUS EVALUATION: It will contribute 30% of the final note of the asignatura. It consists of two parts: assessment of individual work with regard to seminars and / or internships (15%), and assessment of collective work with regard to seminars and / or internships (15%).
  • PARTIAL EXAM: It will contribute 35% of the final note of the asignatura. The exam will be face-to-face and optional, and will evaluate the integration of theoretical and practical contents taught during the first half of the course (teaching content corresponding to theoretical classes in the classroom, practices and seminars). It will consist of a test-type questionnaire and / or questions and solving problems developed by the student. To pass this exam the student must get a grade equal to or higher than 6,5 / 10. If the exam is passed, the part of the theoretical and practical contents evaluated in it will not be re-evaluated in the final exam.
  • FINAL EXAM: It will contribute 70% of the final mark of the subject (35% in the case of having passed the partial exam). The exam will be face-to-face and will consist of a test-type questionnaire and / or questions and problem solving developed by the student, and will evaluate the integration of the contents corresponding to the theoretical classes in the classroom, practices and seminars. It must be passed with a grade equal to or higher than 5/10 in order to pass the subject (a lower grade will mean a final grade of the subject below 5/10, and therefore it will be listed as suspended).

REQUIREMENTS FOR PASSING CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:

  • Compulsory minimum attendance and completion of the practices and seminars of 70% of those proposed in the subject. In the event of a misconduct in a practice or seminar, this must be justified by presenting the corresponding official document that gives validity to the justification of the incident in question. Given the case, in the seminar or practice that was the object of absence, justified or unjustified, this / a will count as not presented in the final qualification of the subject, since the student has not participated in the teaching-learning process. in the classroom, even being collective tasks.
  • Each of the parts that make up the continuous assessment must be passed with a grade equal to or higher than 5/10, as established in the section "Criteria for overcoming skills".
  • In the case of not passing one of the parts of the continuous assessment, this will be listed as suspended giving rise to the impossibility of passing the subject.
  • The qualification of the seminars and / or practices will be the note corresponding to the correction of the presentation of the task of this seminar and / or practice in the time and form established (either individual or collective work).

 

RECOVERY:
In accordance with current regulations, It will only be possible to opt for the recovery of the subject in case of having suspended the evaluation activity "Final Exam". In the event that the student is qualified as Not Presented, you will not be eligible for recovery.
