Adapted Sports and Activities

Not applicable

The training is oriented towards presenting to the student the different contexts of professional intervention related to physical activities and adapted sports. Some subjects are covered in an expository way, other subjects are developed in gym context, and others are developed in an autonomous way within institutions that allow the observation of adapted sports training.The assessment is done by continuous assessement and / or examination.

In the assessment by frequency, the presentation of theoretical and practical work accompanies the presentation and development of the programmed subjects.

1. To know and understand the concepts and the historical evolution of Adapted Motor Activity; 2. To know the behavioral characteristics of people with special needs; 3. To know motor and sports activities adapted, facilitating and promoting the integration and inclusion of people with special needs. 4. To know the instruments and procedures for evaluating the physical fitness of individuals and populations with special difficulties. 5. To observe and analyze the reality of adapted sports in Portugal, including training sessions and competitive activities of adapted sports. 6. To know how to prepare plans and guide physical activity sessions, in a situation of micro-teaching, inclusive adapted physical activities.

1. Terminology, concepts and evolution of cultural values associated with Adapted Motor Activity and Adapted Sports. 2. Description of the most common behavioral characteristics in people with special needs caused by motor, visual and mental problems. 3. Adapted motor activities, facilitators and promoters of integration and inclusion of people with special needs. 4. The tests to assess the physical fitness of individuals and populations with special difficulties. 5. Characterization of sportive activities and its competitive organization integrated in Paralympic Sports. 6. Preparation and supervision of adapted physical activity session plans, in a situation of micro-teaching, inclusive of individuals with different special difficulties.

Continuous/Frequency Assessment - Approval with obtaining between 100 to 200 points or 10 to 20 values, resulting from the addition of the marks obtained in each of the evaluation elements, subject to obtaining minimum classification (equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum score provided - E1 at least 40 points and E2 at least 40 points -) in the elements: 1 - Written test; 2 - Theoretical-practical work.

Elements of continuous assessment (maximum 200 points):

1) Written test (40%, 40 to 80 points);

2) Theoretical-practical works (40%, 40 to 80 points);

3) Class participation (10%, 0 to 20 points);

4) Fieldwork (10%, 0 to 20 points).

Final classification by AC/F = E1* + E2** + E3 + E4 = 80 to 200 points or 8 to 20 values.

E1* is excluded from the sum if it does not reach at least 40 points.

E2 ** is excluded from the sum if the classification does not reach at least 40 points.

 Exam assessment (Normal, Resource, Improvement) - Access to the exam is subject to obtaining a minimum classification (equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum score provided - minimum 40 points) in the Continuous Assessment element: E2 - Theoretical-practical works.

Passing the exam corresponds to a classification between 100 to 200 points. Fail students who score less than 100 points

The classification in the exam (Normal, Resource or Improvement) is obtained by the sum of the classification of the practical component corresponding to element E2 of the continuous assessment (40%, with a minimum of 40 points), plus the classification obtained in the written exam ( PEE) (60% scored between 0 and 120 points).

Final Classification by Exam = E2** (40%) + PEE (60%) = 40 to 200 points or 4 to 20 values.

Elements of exam assessment:

PEE - Written exam test (60% - 0 to 120 points).

E2 - Theoretical-practical assignments (40% - 40 to 80 points).

Note: The theoretical and practical work is carried out, delivered and presented within the same deadlines as those defined for continuous assessment/frequency.
