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 relay;

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

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

- Importance of running technique and running technique exercises and their applicability;

- Phases and sub-phases of the sprint running;

- Rules of sprint events;

- Methods of passing the baton;

- Rules of relay events;

- Examples of a didactic-pedagogical approach with children and young people in the sprint and relay.

 

THROWs

- Javelin throw: Technic and rules;

- Shot Put: technic and rules;

- Discus throw: technic and rules;

- Hammer throw: technical and rules;

NOTE: The teaching and learning of all this athletics events will always address pedagogical-didactic and methodological aspects aiming at training the various components implicit in sprint performance.

Eligibility for exams

Obtaining frequency (*)

The achievement of a final classification requires attendance at the curricular unit, as established in the evaluation rules of FADEUP. A student is considered to attend a curricular unit if, having been regularly enrolled, he / she does not exceed the limit of absences corresponding to 25% of each of the types of classes envisaged.

Students with high competition status can not exceed the limit of absences corresponding to 50% of each of the types of classes planned.

Students with worker-student status, safeguarded by general law, will have to inform the teacher at the beginning of the semester and take the examination of each of the modules provided at the end of their teaching.

The justification of absences is made through the presentation by the student of an application addressed to the Pedagogical Council, to which the competent medical report is attached, within 5 working days of the first fault. The dispatch will be delivered to the student, and it will be up to the student to present it to the teachers in the areas to which 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 transmission 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)

In each two week, students who attend the course under a special status shall complete and deliver to the teacher theoretical works of pedagogical-didactic nature of all program content, as they are covered in class.
