Teaching language
Suitable for English-speaking studentsObjectives
The Practical Studies of Gymnastics in this Faculty is guided by the following goals:
- Acquire motor experience in the different areas of gymnastics;
- Understand the biomechanics of gymnastics elements;
- Understand the technique of different gymnastics elements;
- Understand and consider the value and variety of gymnastics movements for developing motor skills;
- Be aware of technical regulation of the different disciplines.
Learning outcomes and competences
Be able to do the basic elements of gymnastics.
Demonstrate knowledge to develop a technical approach of the basic elements of gymnastics.
Understand the basis of the biomechanics movement, in particular, the placement and alignment of body segments, the motor actions present in each element, the axes of motion and the differences of rhythms during performance.
Know how to apply the manual help - understand the positioning and placement of the hands, identify the point of intervention/manipulation and track the movement of the performer.
Apply and adapt theoretical and practical knowledge of gymnastics disciplines in order to use the available material and human conditions in different locations.
Know how to use the didactic materials in order to create learning situations that allow a gradual development in a safety environment.
Working method
PresencialPre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)
The competence necessary for the accomplishment of the corresponding discipline are the prerequisites required in the application to the Faculty of Sport.Program

1.2. Gymnastics: A sport for all ages.
2. Bases and foundations of Gymnastics.
2.1. The basic elements in floor apparatus – technical approach.
2.1.1. The importance of straight stands positions (body postures).
2.2. Situations of learning - develop different skills using materials and manual helps.
2.3. The biomechanics of the movements and the technical analysis of the gym elements (understand the rotation axes, trajectories, placement and alignment of body segments and prevention of common errors).

6.5. Groups.
6.5.1. Organization and Composition.
6.5.2. Exchanges.
6.5.3. Collaborations.
The knowledge of different areas gymnastic will be transmitted in a logic of practical experience, presenting a set of learning situations to the students, where the teaching of technique, the motion perception and the analysis of movements in motor actions allow a better understanding of the technical skills of the gymnastic elements.
The practical learning is based on the compliance of regulations and gymnastics rules. The experience gained during the lessons, allow students to identify and understand the technical elements on different apparatus, understanding the motor actions, the placement and alignment of body segments, determining the axes of movement, and, evaluating different rhythms of execution during jumps, lands and static elements (balance or hold elements).
The security aspects and the use of different materials during the practical lessons, allow students to understand and use appropriate strategies in order to successfully solve unusual situations that may arise during their professional life. In this context, it is intended that students acquire the ability to adapt their knowledge to different situations, in order to be able to use the available material and human conditions (example: schools with little material or students with low mobility), maintaining a correct approach of the gymnastics disciplines.
The manual help (manipulation) address during classes, intent to develop in students (future teachers / coaches) the sense of security, ensuring the physical safety of the performers and contributes for the achievement of new learning skills. All techniques of manual help require a good understanding of technical elements (technical aspects, the frequent errors of execution, the predominant motor actions as well as the specific capacities needed to develop the element) to an appropriate intervention. The proper development and improvement of the manual help, requires a correct body placement in relation to the performer to perform an effective manipulation during the impulse phase, handling and landing (stop motion) phases.
An appropriate intervention allows performers to learn the elements techniques in a better way and will substantially decrease the possibility of failure in any learning context.

Eligibility for exams
The students should attend at least 75% of given lessons, or, having special condition (exeample: injury or studant worker), to 50% of given lessons.Other cases should be reported to the responsible teachers during the first two weeks of the school year.
Calculation formula of final grade
The evaluation is permanent and completed by five tests, four practical and one theoretical:
Practical test – 75%
1 - Trampolin Gymnastic test – 50%
2 - Acrobatic Gymnastics test - 40%
2 - Acrobatic Gymnastics test - 40%
3 - Rhythmic Gymnastics test - 10%
Theoretical test - 25%
The minimum score required in each test is 8,0 values.
The students are approved when the final score on this discipline is equal or superior to 9,5 values.
Examinations or Special Assignments
Not applied.Internship work/project
Not applied.Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Students who are not able to do the evaluation in the dates previously marked by the teacher, for health reasons (injury, surgery or prolonged recovery from disease), should speak with the teacher to mark another date, which can not go beyond the last day of the first semester.Classification improvement
Not applied.Observations
The final score will be rounded to one decimal place.
