Classification in the experimental work ≥60%; 2. Attendance at PL classes for data collection ≥ 90%. ▣ Exam with theoretical (70%/100%) and practical (30%/100%) tests in the final classification. Oral admission: cf. with $.

1. Know the fundamentals and applications of Motor Development (DM) as an area of study of motor behavior (CM).
2. Understand the basic concepts and fundamental terminology used in DM.
3. Identify and understand development variables and indicators.
4. Know the evolution of the main concepts, identification processes of variables and morphological and body composition indicators.
5. Understand the variability of the development process, and major internal and external influences.
6. Analyze the process of human development starting from the design of development stages, from the perspective of maturation and development of motor action.
7. Know the instruments and techniques of analysis, evaluation and control of the DM and apply such instruments in the observation and analysis of the Motor Control
