Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

The UC "Sport For Specific Populations" is oriented to the knowledge of the specific features of certain groups or target populations, in order to justify the intervention to be carried out with these groups in the field of physical activity and sports. It is intended to document and analyze the morphological and physiological characters by which are peculiar to certain strata of the population, as is the case of the child, the adolescent and young adult's elderly, as well as for adults with chronic pathologies, removing implications about the intervention methodologies that ensure the exercising safely and without risk to health.

The content of the discipline focus on the quirky aspects of physiological and psychological responses to the physical exercise of populations with specific features, stressing the importance of regular physical activity in health promotion and well-being by identifying the potential adverse effects of exercise and making methodological recommendations for the participation of these peoples in physical activities adapted to their specific conditions.
Knows the characteristics and physiological responses of adaptation to specific populations effort, recognizing the physiological, psychological and social implications arising from the practice of physical exercise.

Identifies the requests to the locomotor system and the dominant physiological systems in prescribing physical activity for specific populations.

Learn about methodological principles of exercise prescription tailored to populations with specific features.

Syllabus

The Elderly
The aging process and its phases or steps. Physical aging, socio-affective and psychological. Biological and social determinants of aging process. Morphological, physiological and psychological changes associated with the aging process. Characterization of the elderly from the functional point of view, from the point of view engine and the level of motor skills. Benefits for health, well-being and quality of life associated with the regular practice of physical activity. Evaluation and exercise prescription in the elderly.

The child and the Young
Growth and maturation: influential factors for the development of motor skills. Morphological and physiological changes at the level of the bone tissue, muscle tissue, adipose tissue, respiratory and cardiovascular and circulatory system and its implications for the practice of physical activity. Characterization of children and adolescents in terms of effort and capacity at the level of motor skills. Benefits associated with regular practice of physical activity. Evaluation and exercise prescription in children and adolescents.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

UC addresses the specific characteristics of certain groups or target populations, in order to justify the intervention to be carried out with these groups in the field of physical activity and sports. It is intended to document the morphological and physiological characteristics that are peculiar to certain strata of the population, as is the case of the child, the adolescent and young adult's elderly, as well as chronic diseases associated with certain age groups, drawing implications about the intervention methodologies that ensure the exercising safely and without risk to health.

Teaching methodologies

Programme management strategies
Work to be undertaken under this COURSE emphasizes the active participation of the students, through individual or work group, working from information provided directly by the teacher or using the recommended bibliography search as well as the application of methodologies of teaching in the practical context in the classroom.

The process shall involve: (a) exposure of subjects by the teacher; (b) the reading and analysis of scientific texts; (c) the carrying out of works written and/or oral presentations.

Monitoring tutorial
Face-to-face support and distance learning research orientation of the topics under study and on completion of works written and/or oral presentations.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

It is intended that students have an active participation in the acquisition of knowledge. So, in addition to the lectures, students are urged to develop, individually or in groups, the issues addressed in the lectures. This COURSE requires students to use the knowledge of every subject area in an integrated and applied. So, the written test (s) (s) visa (m) assess theoretical knowledge; the realization of works written and/or oral presentations, aims to evaluate the integration of knowledge into a coherent knowledge and solid.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The work developed at UC will be subject to:
I) process evaluation (40%). Oral presentation and discussion about a chronic pathology or specific population;
10 % Attendance and Participation (75%).
II) product evaluation (50%). Is expressed by the student's performance on a written test on the matter.

Attendance system

Each student is expected to: (a) be present in at least 75% of the classes and participate in the discussion of the issues under review, as well as in the implementation of the proposed work; (b) read the bibliography support and be prepared to analyze and discuss the topics presented; (c) perform the tasks, and the work programmed, with clarity and precision the appropriation of knowledge on the subject.
