Teaching Methodologies
The T contents are presented in expository sessions, using audiovisual means, using the bibliography of the specialty, 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. In addition, current data/facts are presented that support the contents under analysis and/or good practice projects, which allow students to better understand the practical applicability of the topics covered. 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. Practical, theoretical-practical and practical-laboratory tests (45%). By exam, the following items are considered: 1. Test (100%).
Learning Results
1. Describe and interpret the functioning of the cardiorrespiratory system during sport performance, and the accute and chronic adaptations to exercise.
2. Understand the adaptation mechanisms of the human body to aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
3. Understand the adaptive dynamics of the human body in specif environmental conditions.
4. To know the effects of ergogenic substances in the adaptations to exercise and sport performance.
5. Understand and apply methodologies of physical and physiological assessment.
