Assessment of Physical Fitness

Base Knowledge

N/A

Teaching Methodologies

In the context of theoretical and theoretical-practical classes, contents 1 and 2 are presented. In the context of practical and laboratory classes, knowledge associated with contents 3 and 4 is trained.
The assessment in the curricular unit comprises elements of demonstration of theoretical understanding and effectiveness in the practical application of matters associated with contents 3 and 4.
Continuous assessment comprises 3 elements: participation in theoretical and practical classes; taking a written test in response to a test that can include all the subjects included in the curricular unit’s syllabus; realization of theoretical-practical work on the application and analysis of results of physical fitness and physical condition tests.
The final classification obtained in the final assessment results from the weighted sum of each of the assessment elements in which a positive classification is obtained (10 values ​​on a scale of 0 – 20 values).
Assessment by exam has the condition of access to obtaining a positive classification (10 values ​​on the 0-20 scale) in the component of participation in classes and in the component of theoretical-practical work. The exam consists of an answer to a written test and approval by an exam corresponds to obtaining a grade of 10 values ​​(scale 0 – 20 values) in the written exam.
