Technologic Applications in Sports

N/A

Different equipment and technological applications applied to sports are presented and analysed in the classroom.

The theoretical and practical work focuses on the use and application of assessment protocols, with subsequent interpretation of data and its applicability in real context.

The evaluation comprises elements of demonstration of theoretical and practical understanding of the subjects. The elements of continuous assessment include participation in theoretical and practical classes and the completion of group or individual work on the content covered.

The assessment by examination has as a condition for access the achievement of a positive classification in the component of participation in class and in the component of theoretical and practical work
