Pathophysiology is a branch of medicine closely related to anatomy, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, physiology, immunology, pharmacology and morphological sciences that is dedicated to the study of the mechanisms by which the different diseases, which allows us to explain why the symptoms occur and the various manifestations that accompany it.

The pathophysiology of musculoskeletal disorders of physical activity and sport presents the basis of muscle, tendon and bone pathologies. Another aspect, which will also be carried out in classes the most prevalent rheumatic pathologies. We will also give the student knowledge of the different tests that can be carried out to assess functional capacity.

Pathophysiology in physical activity and sport studies the most common diseases, the mechanisms of production and how these are related to physical activity and sport through a conceptual, historical and methodological study.

Therefore, the main objective of the course will be to train students to be able to examine the relationship between moderate and regular physical activity and the improvement of physical condition and health in people. with different pathologies. It also aims to show how an active lifestyle contributes to physical and mental health and the improvement of quality of life.

As for the dynamics of the sessions, the subject is face-to-face. Face-to-face teaching and learning requires a significant effort on the part of both students and teachers. It is essential that the tasks requested are carried out within the established deadlines in order to make good use of the face-to-face sessions and thus achieve a correct learning process.

The main objective of the subject will be to train the student to be able to understand the pathophysiological mechanism of muscle, tendon and bone pathologies. Likewise, to train the student in the recognition of the most prevalent rheumatic pathologies.

In the same way, the student will be prepared to receive the teachings that the following disciplines provide to the student in the course of his / her curricular trajectory: the pathophysiology of the rheumatic and non-rheumatic musculoskeletal pathology.

1. Identify risks in activities of different types of population (gender, age and disability) as well as be able to advise them, to intervene appropriately in the event of an accident and to carry out first aid practices.

2. Develop technically and scientifically and develop intervention programs through physical activity to increase the quality of life of people who have seen their health decreased by:

metabolic and / or endocrinological alterations, considering the biological differences by gender. alterations of the locomotor system, considering differences by age, gender and / or disability. alterations of the cardiorespiratory system, considering differences by age, sex and / or disability. sensory alterations, considering differences by age, gender and / or 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.

Topic 1.1 Articular pathophysiology

Item 1.2 Tendon and ligament pathophysiology

Item 1.3 Bone pathophysiology

Topic 1.4 Muscle pathophysiology

Topic 2. Chap

Topic 3. Hand and fingers

Topic 4. Wrist

Topic 5. Rapeseed

Item 6. Shoulder

Topic 7. Spines

Item 8. Chest and abdomen

Item 9. Pelvis, inguinal region

Item 10. Thigh and hip

Topic 11. Knee

Topic 12. Bed

Topic 13. Ankle

Topic 14. Foot

Item 15. Complementary tests

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 assessment will consist of a recognition of the level of learning achieved by the student, materialized in the numerical grade, in accordance with the provisions of current 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)

The student's grade 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 and NECESSARY criteria to average between the evaluation activities:

El work in group of research will have a date of presentation to the Faculty. The material to be presented will be delivered and the instructions will be given in the classroom. The group work will be related to the contents and services of the subject and will be agreed with the teachers. The objectives that would be intended with this work are based on the collaboration between students, the distribution of tasks and the sharing of the different parts of the work or group activity.

There will be one partial examination in the term that does not exclude subject in the final exam. The structure of the partial exam will be 30 test-type questions with 4 possible answers (a correct one). Every three errors will subtract a correct question.

The final exam will comprise all the contents and will be carried out at the end of the course, during the evaluation period of the term in which it is taught and / or during the recovery period. The exam will have a total of 50 test-type questions with 4 possible answers (a correct one). Every four errors a correct question will be subtracted. One is required minimum grade of 5/10 in the final exam to perform the weighting of the final grade, lower grades will mean a suspension of the subject.

Schedule and Guide to Activities.

All the evaluation activities will have specific dates of realization and delivery, that will communicate to the student / to when beginning the asignatura by means of the Schedule and the Guide of activities. The schedule and activity guide will be available in the moodle of the subject.

The timetable will include the dates of each of the topics with the classroom and the timetable, both the theoretical part and the practical part. The classrooms of the theoretical and practical part may not be the same. Likewise, the guide of activities will indicate the material and / or the necessary clothing for the practical part.

Recovery

Within the same course, there is the possibility of recovering skills not achieved during the course. The evaluable contents within the recovery will be the same as in the final exam, being totally a theoretical exam and there will be no practical part. The evaluation criteria in the resit exam will be the same as in the final exam.

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