Objectives

1.    To develop specific theoretical skills from sprinting and jumping
2.     To develop and improve theoretical knowledge acquired obtained from athletics training
3.    To acquire basic skills to be coach and act in real training environment.
4.     Identify and solve typical constraints of the real training environment
5.    To develop critical and analytical capacity from practical problems.
6.     To develop the ability to theoretically sustain practice problems.
7.    Foresee the ability to intervene in the training process in an autonomous way
8.     To receive the contributions from individual experiences of the different fields.

Eligibility for exams

Type of evaluation: Distributed evaluation without final exam

Terms of frequency: The achievement of a final classification requires attendance at the curricular unit, as established in the evaluation rules of FADEUP. It is considered that a student fulfills the attendance to the course if, having been regularly enrolled, not exceeded the limit of absences corresponding to 25% of each of the types of classes provided.

Formula Evaluation: test 60%; Field work 25%; Attendance 15%

Calculation formula of final grade

The evaluation is distributed without final exam and for this purpose a continuous evaluation is carried out, with reflection and later discussion between the tutor and the students about the aspects considered relevant in the training process.
Therefore, students should:
- Attend at least 75% of the planned formal training sessions. Thematic seminars; reflection sessions and discussion about the vocational training and meetings by CTD.
- have a frequency of required weekly training equal to or greater than a minimum of three training units.
- Prepare, guide or assist the guidance and preparation of athletes over a sport season.
- Ensure the minimum number of weekly attendance in training and competitions defined by the tutor teacher once heard the ET and taking into account the specific characteristics of the CTD in question.

- Discuss the professional internship dossier with the tutor teacher.

For students on a CTD basis, the head coach, technical coordinator and / or tutor in charge of the club where the CTD is held will be consulted, and their assessment will be considered by the tutor in evaluating the different components.
