Course context for academic year 2025-26

Sports training is a structured and planned process that seeks to raise performance levels mainly through the development of basic physical capabilities. This subject aims to establish the theoretical-practical bases of the field of sports training, thus understanding the training process, as well as its different phases, the principles that govern the field of knowledge of training, as well as the conceptual bases on the resistance, strength, speed and range of movement that allow the support of subsequent learning about training methodology and periodization.

 

 

Course competencies (verified by ANECA in official undergraduate and Master’s degrees) for academic year 2025-26

General Competences

  • CG1.1 : Capacity to identify, list, analyse, synthesise and apply the conceptual content determined by the subjects studied for the Sciences of Physical Activity and Sport degree.
  • CG1.2 : Ability to manage information and knowledge in new and complex situations, problem solving and decision making for the development of instrumental and procedural contents of the subjects of the degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences.
  • CG3.1 : Capacity to design, apply and evaluate high-quality processes, programs and projects in the fields of teaching, training and the promotion of health and recreational sport
  • CG3.2 : Awareness and recognition of diversity and multiculturalism in the fields of teaching and learning, training and the promotion of health and recreation.

 

Specific Competences

  • AC1.3 : Communicate and interact appropriately and efficiently, in physical activity and sport, in diverse intervention contexts, demonstrating teaching skills in a conscious, natural and continuous way.
  • AC2.1 : Knowing how to guide, design, apply and technico-scientifically assess physical exercise and physical condition at an advanced level, based on scientific evidence, in different areas, contexts and types of activities for the whole population and with emphasis on special populations such as: the elderly, schoolchildren, people with disabilities and people with pathologies, health problems or similar (diagnosed and/or prescribed by a doctor), taking into account gender and diversity.
  • AC2.2 : Identify, communicate and apply scientific anatomical-physiological and biomechanical criteria at an advanced level of skills in the design, development and technical-scientific evaluation of procedures, strategies, actions, activities and appropriate guidance; to prevent, minimise and/or avoid a health risk in the practice of physical activity and sport in all types of population.
  • AC2.3 : Design and apply with fluency, naturalness, consciously and continuously adequate, efficient, systematic, varied physical exercise and physical condition, based on scientific evidence, for the development of the processes of adaptation and improvement or readaptation of certain capacities of each person in relation to human movement and its optimisation; in order to be able to solve unstructured, increasingly complex and unpredictable problems and with emphasis on special populations.
  • AC5.2 : Identificar, organitzar, dirigir, planificar, coordinar, implementar, i realitzar avaluació tecnicocientífica dels diversos tipus d'activitats físiques i esportives adaptades al desenvolupament, característiques i necessitats dels individus i la tipologia de l'activitat, espai i entitat, en tots els tipus de serveis d'activitat física i esport, inclosos esdeveniments esportius, i en qualsevol mena d'organització, població, context, entorn i població i amb èmfasi en les poblacions de caràcter especial com són: persones majors (tercera edat), escolars, persones amb discapacitat i persones amb patologies, problemes de salut o assimilats (diagnosticades i/o prescrites per un metge) i en qualsevol sector d'intervenció professional d'activitat física i esport (ensenyament formal i informal fisicoesportiva; entrenament físic i esportiu; exercici físic per a la salut; direcció d'activitat física i esport) garantint la seguretat, eficiència i professionalitat en l'activitat exercida en el compl
  • AC5.3 : Identify, organise, direct, plan, coordinate, implement and assess the professional performance of human resources, with emphasis on the management, coordination, planning, supervision and technical-scientific assessment of the activity, performance and provision of services by physical activity and sport professionals, in all types of services and in any type of organisation, context, environment and with emphasis on special populations and in any sector of professional intervention in physical activity and sport, guaranteeing safety, efficiency and professionalism in the activity performed in compliance with the regulations in force.
  • AC5.5 : Articulate and deploy advice, certification, and technical-scientific evaluation of physical activity and sport activities and resources in all physical activity and sport services, contexts, environments and sectors of professional intervention in physical activity and sport as well as in the design and drafting of technical reports in all physical activity and sport services.
  • AC6.1 : Know and understand the bases of the methodology of scientific work.
  • AC6.2 : Analyse, review and select the effect and effectiveness of the practice of methods, techniques and resources of research and scientific work methodology, in the resolution of problems that require the use of creative and innovative ideas.
  • AC6.4 : Articulate and deploy procedures, processes, protocols, own analysis, with rigour and scientific attitude on matters of social, legal, economic, scientific or ethical nature, when necessary and relevant in any professional sector of physical activity and sport (formal and informal physical and sports education; physical and sports training; physical exercise for health; management of physical activity and sport).

 

 

 

Learning outcomes (Training objectives)

  • Know and develop the theories on adaptation to training.
