Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

Justification:

The subject introduces the fundamental principles of the different track and field disciplines. The scientific aspects, pedagogical and methodological disciplines of jumping, running and throwing are taught in an integrated way. These contents will equip the future professional with skills and knowledge to act independently of the sport.

 

Objectives

Provide students with the specific experiences and basic knowledge of track and field –starting blocks, sprint, relays and throwing;

- Present the regulations of the sprint, relays and throwing;

- Acquire basic skills for teaching the basic aspects of Athletics, in terms of sprint, relays and throwing.

Learning outcomes and competences

Learning outcomes and skills

Know and perform the basic movements of running technique;

Know and perform the basic movements of shot put, discus, hammer and javelin, technique;

Know and perform the basic movements of the relays;

Know and apply the rules of sprint, starts, relay, and throwing events;

Acquire critical skills in observation of the technique;

Acquire basic concepts about the training methodology of sprint, relays and throwing.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Prerequisites (previous knowledge) and co-requirements (simultaneous knowledge)

Basic skills about running and throws are essential.

Program

SPRINT AND RELAYS

- Significance of Running Technique and Its Practical Exercises;

- Phases and sub-phases of sprint running;

- Rules and regulations of sprint events;

- Baton Exchange Techniques;

- Rules and regulations for relay events;

- Instances of Pedagogical-Didactic Approaches for Teaching Sprinting and Relay Techniques to Children and Youth

 

THROWS

- Javelin throw: Technique, rules and regulations;

- Shot Put: Technique, rules and regulations;

- Discus throw: Technique, rules and regulations;

- Hammer throw: Technique, rules and regulations;

NOTE:The teaching and learning of all these athletics events will always encompass pedagogical, didactic, and methodological aspects, with the aim of training the various components inherent in sprint performance.

Eligibility for exams

Obtaining frequency (*)

In order to obtain a final grade, compliance with attendance to the curriculum unit is required, as outlined in FADEUP's assessment regulations. A student is considered to meet the attendance requirement for a curriculum unit if, having enrolled properly, they do not exceed the maximum number of absences, set at 25% for each of the types of classes specified.

Students with high-performance athlete status may not exceed the maximum number of absences, which stands at 50% for each of the types of classes specified.

Students with worker-student status, protected by general law, must inform the instructor at the beginning of the semester and sit for the examination of each of the provided modules at the conclusion of their teaching.

Absences must be justified by the student by submitting an application to the Pedagogical Council, along with the relevant medical report, within 5 working days following the first absence. The decision will be provided to the student, who is responsible for presenting it to the instructors in the areas where the absences were recorded.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final evaluation is carried out through continuous evaluation of both event groups.

CF = CAV + CAL+EV

CAV - speed assessment, consists in two quantitative tests (60 meters and 200 meters) and three qualitative tests (Starting blocks, running technique and baton transmission).

CAV = 0.25 x CAT + 0.75 x (0,25 x AP1 + 0,25 x AP2 + 0,15 x AP3 + 0,15 x AP4 + 0,20 x AP5)

CAT - theoretical evaluation of the classification;

AP1 - 60m test

AP2 – 200m test

AP3 - running technique evaluation

AP4 - starting technical evaluation

AP5 - baton exchange evaluation

CAL – Throwing evaluation, is the evaluation of the javelin (ALDa), shot put (ALP), discus (Aldi) and hammer (ALM).

CAL = 0,25 x CAT + 0,75 x ((ALDa + ALP + ALDi + ALM)/4)

EV – Bonus due to participation in “Culminante Event” (0,5 values).

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Special evaluation (p.e. student workers)

Every two weeks, students attending the course under a special status will need to complete and submit to the instructor theoretical pedagogical-didactic assignments covering all the programmatic content as it is covered in the classes.
