An exhibition and interactive methodology in the development of theoretical classes allows that through the demonstrative and interactive methodology in the theoretical-practical typology classes, applied by problem-based learning, allow the education and understanding of the concepts to support a planning in the UC of intervention strategies in physiotherapy I, II and III. Continuous evaluation = 1 Frequency (50%) + Frequency (50%). Students can choose for a final exam.
Apply the principles of exercise physiology to clinical practice to promote the exercise capacity and functionality of individuals;
Know the effects of physical activity and exercise under special conditions of temperature and pressure;
Understand the different local and systemic adaptations induced by acute and/or repeated movement over time in different populations, and their therapeutic, preventive and improvement of physical performance, and the boundary between increased functionality and organic pathology induced by physical exercise;
Understand the organic limitations imposed by biological aging and different diseases/pathologies;
Understand and predict acute and chronic changes motivated by the different types of exercise and physical training in the various organs and systems, analyzing these changes both from a health and well-being perspective and from a perspective of increased functionality in specific exercise programs.
