Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
The student should be able to integrate and relate the concepts learned and apply them to his intervention in sports, taking into account the different concepts. Deepen through theoretical and practical the acquired knowledge. Should also recognize, select and integrate the concepts learned in the clinic, in sports and research practice, in a self-directed and autonomous way.
Syllabus:
1. Introduction to Biomechanics
2. Anatomical Description and its limitations
3. Linear and angular Kinematics
4. Linear Kinetics
5. Angular kinetics
5. Applying biomechanics in sports
6. Neuromusculoskeletal evaluation
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The contents are defined in terms of objectives and competencies to be acquired by the students. The syllabus includes the main multiobjective approaches and specific techniques for evaluation and specific treatment which give students tools for evaluation and treatment in the field biomechanics, biomechanical analysis and biomechanics applied to sports.
The demonstration of consistency between the objectives of the course and the syllabus is divided between the practical component (recognize, identify, apply, develop, etc.) and the knowledge and understanding of the theoretical content.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The student should be able to integrate and relate the learned concepts and apply them in different practical situations. Should also recognize, select and integrate the concepts acquired in clinical practice and self - directed and autonomous research.
Evaluation system:Assessment will be continuous and periodic.(mini-tests and individual work)
Contribute to the ongoing evaluation parameters such as attendance, interest and how to participate in the course and demonstrated in the resolution of analytical work and research.
Periodic evaluation will consist of a theoretical writing assessment. The timing of this assessment will be defined by the coordination cabinet. The lack or withdrawal at any evaluation implies a grade of zero values in this test.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Teaching methodologies to apply this CU are guided primarily by the adoption of teaching / learning strategies, student-centered. These aim generally establish learning environments based on the study and individual student work as well as critical thinking and teamwork in an integrated clinical team. The demonstration of the consistency of teaching methodologies with the objective of the course is based on the belief that the classroom is for the student, his laboratory space, for individual experimentation and activities development, beyond communication and context sharing in clinical and class channel. Cognitive skills are developed through participatory exposure and problem solving. Communication skills are acquired through group dynamics and oral presentations.
