Objectives

The general objectivs of this discipline are the following ones: Acquisition, perfectioning and domain of the basic and specific technical skills of the sportive modalities in study, that is, Acrobatic Gymnastics (AG) and Womean and Man Artistic Gymnastics(WAG and MAG);b)Acquisition of essential basic the theoretical and practical knowledge to the achievement of the previous objectivs, namely in the análisis/observation either in the tecnical or in the defaults plans in the execution of the different elements in each apparatus; c) Development of the conditional capacities to the achievement of the express objectivs in a) and b). d)Rules of safety in the use of the different apparatus and in the execution of the basic elements in these aparatus. e) Human and material sppoting in the execution of each element. In accordance with the general objectivs of the discipline, we try to provide the students with basic and specific motor vocabulary , considered essential to the agreement and conception of inherent pedagogical procedures to the activities of sensitization, education and trainings of the different sport disciplines (WAG/MAG/AG)
