Teaching Methodologies
The T contents are presented in expository sessions, using audiovisual means (e.g., Microsoft Powerpoint), using the bibliography of the
specialty (e.g., reference manuals, scientific articles), promoting discussion and reflection on the topics under analysis, relating them to the
other contents addressed in this CU and in other CU of the study cycle. Due to these characteristics, this approach can be carried out
through the Distance Learning methodology, in a synchronous format. The TP contents are also addressed in expository sessions, also
based on bibliography of the specialty.
This CU is assessed by continuous/periodic evaluation and exam [100% = 20 points].
By continuous/periodic evaluation, the following items are considered:
1. Tests (55%).
2. Assignments (45%).
By exam, the following items are considered:
1. Test (100%).
Learning Results
1. Identification of the object of study of the analysis of human movement and the conceptual foundations applyied in sports and physical
activities.
2. Apply conceptual models, instruments and methodologies sustained on the knowledge of the anatomy and mechanics using deterministic
and non-deterministic models.
3. Development of the capacity of analysis of human movement, as specific means of intervention in the prescription of exercise in the field
of sports and physical activity.
