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

- Knowledge of the terminology used in the scope of Human Physiology.
- Master the physiological bases of consciousness and behavior.
- Master the concepts related to the functional response of the human body to physical exercise.
- Knowledge of the basics of bioenergetics and nutrition.
- Mastery of biological and biochemical knowledge required during physical activity
- Master the concepts of Physiology of Integration and Adaptation.

Syllabus

- Basic concepts of Human Physiology.
- Stimulation-adaptation relationship.
- Acute adaptation and chronic adaptation.
- Characterization of the main groups of nutrients. Nutritional requirements for different types of physical efforts.
- Biological energy cycles.
- Growth - Environmental and genetic constraints.
- Aging: Physiological significance, and homastic and physiological modifications.


Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The "Human Physiology" curricular unit geeks the knowledge of the processes associated to the functionality of the human body in situations of homeostasis and in situations of stress caused by physical activity.

Teaching methodologies

iscussion in plenary sessions and/or small groups, from the information provided by the teacher or with other materials. Shall include: Reading, discussing and manuscript analysis; Preparation of written works; Oral exposure of different subjects related to exercise training and to physical fitness; Preparation and presentation of practical work.

The Moodle platform enables the realization of theoretical and pratica activities, and the interaction between teacher and student, and between students, and is therefore a tool included used in the assessment.

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

At the end of the work the expected skills lie around the following areas:

- Appropriation of the field of knowledge in the addressed subjects, with a critical perspective towards continuous updating.

- Mobilize carefully and reasonably the acquired knowledge in practical and applied situations.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

1. Process evaluation (35%): results from the attendance, participation in classroom activities and realization of 3 worksheets:
- Assiduity 5%
- Worksheets 30%
2. Product evaluation (65%): It is expressed by the student's performance in a written test and in a presentation work of analysis of a thematic of the program with the use of updated scientific research.
- Test: 45%
- Presentation work: 20%
The sum of the weighted values of component 1 and component 2 will define the classification in the CU, assigned on a scale of 0 to 20 values.
Exam
Classifications lower than: 7 in the written tests and 9.5 in final evaluation refer students to the final eram.
NOTE: For students with special regimes the evaluation process may change. Please contact the teacher in the first 15 days.

Attendance system

It is expected that each student be present, at least, in 75% of the lectures.
NOTE: For students with special regimes the evaluation process may change. Please contact the teacher in the first 15 days.
