Human Movement Studies II

Teaching Methodologies

The adopted pedagogical methods and strategies include: lecture; demonstration/exemplification of human movement analysis and evaluation with simulated practice among students; and problem solving.
The approval in the curricular unit is obtained with a score above or equal to 10 points (on a 0 to 20 scale). The assessment methodology includes individual and group work, with a weight of 50%, and a written test, with a weight of 50%. The score in the written test cannot be lower than 9.5 points.
The assessment may also be carried out through an exam, during the period designated for that purpose.

Learning Results

– To have the knowledge and ability of understanding in the field of instrumentation for human movement analysis; – To know how to apply the acquired knowledge and ability of understanding in the kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic analysis of the movement;
– To have ability to critically collect, process, select, analyze, interpret and integrate the relevant experimental data on human movement, that substantiate the decision making, problem solving and making judgments;
– To develop skills to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions arising from the instrumental analysis and evaluation of human movement;
– To develop learning skills in the field of instrumentation for analysis and evaluation of human movement.
