Teaching Methodologies
After the theoretical-practical part, the practical component is consolidated through the practical experience of these individual activities, to understand as a practitioner the specificity of this type of activities (e.g., exercises performed, most common errors, most commonly used machines, posture for better execution).
The evaluation is done by frequency or exam (200 points (p) = 20 values).
By frequency:
1. Technical and pedagogical performance: 120 p
1.1 Functional Training: 40 p
1.2 Weight Training: 40 p
1.3 Cardiovascular Training – Cardiofitness: 40 p
2. Theoretical Knowledge (written test): 70 p
3. Behavior and attitude: 10 p
For approval, the student will have to have a minimum of 60 p in technical and pedagogical performance and 35 p in theoretical knowledge.
By examination:
1. Theoretical Test: 80 p
2. Theoretical-Practical Test: 120 p
To pass the exam the student must have a minimum classification of 40 p in the theoretical test and 60 p in the theoretical-practical test
Learning Results
1. To know the basic principles to plan and conduct individual activities in gym context (Functional Training, Weight Training and Cardiovascular Training), taking into account the characteristics of the practitioner.
2. To know and adopt strategies that enable an appropriate technical intervention to the specificity of the context, in gym individual activities (Functional Training, Weight Training and Cardiovascular Training).
