1.1. Aims of the course
The teaching of this subject aims that the student has a global vision of the history of some individual sports (athletics, cycling and skating) and their modalities. How they have evolved and what is the technical execution model, learning processes and errors. Also, the effects of the practice of individual sports in the organism and know how to create, organize, plan and evaluate tasks for improvement or learning, in different contexts.
1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree
Individual sports, and specifically athletics, form the basis of most sports. In fact, the qualities needed and worked in the different athletic modalities are the same as in the rest of sports. Knowing them will allow us to apply it in other sports modalities.
On the other hand, performance in individual sports depends on fundamental aspects related to psychological, physiological and biomechanical aspects. The effect on the organism, as well as the planning of the training or improvement programs, or the design of activities and teaching-learning processes essential in the sport initiation are also the main object of other subjects of the Degree.
1.3. Recommendations to take this course

3. Assessment (1st and 2nd call)
3.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)
The student must demonstrate that they have achieved the expected learning outcomes through the following assessment activities
Overall evaluation
Pass a written test with short theoretical or practical questions or test-type questions on the two content blocks.
Prepare a work related to the individual sports carried out whose content will be agreed in the sessions.
Correctly executing basic techniques of the individual sports dealt with: athletics, cycling and skating, recognizing fundamental errors and proposing specific activities for their improvement.
In specific cases with students with disabilities, appropriate specific adaptations will be made together with the Disability Office of the University of Zaragoza, if such adaptations are possible (and in no case be significant adaptations).
GRADING SYSTEM
The evaluation is a global test that has different theoretical evaluation tests? practices. Students who attend regularly (more than 85% of the practical sessions) take these tests during the theoretical-practical sessions of the semester that are thus scheduled. Students who do not attend regularly take all the tests on the date of the official call.
In all the tests the spelling mistakes and the formal aspects of the presentation will be taken into account, being able to discount up to 1,5p in each test. If a student presents an exam with illegible handwriting, they will be asked to read it orally to be evaluated.
Assessment tests:
Assessment test 1, evaluation of the theoretical part: 50%
The theoretical tests of the students with regular attendance will consist of short and test-type questions. Students who have not demonstrated an active participation according to 85% of the practices, must take the written test that shows the mastery of the knowledge presented in these practices, with short questions and to be developed. The date of this test will be the one proposed in the official calendar.
- Theoretical Block 1: carrying out an objective written test on athletics
The acquisition and understanding of the theoretical-practical conceptual contents of athletics will be evaluated. The weighting in the rating is 25%.
- Theoretical Block 2: carrying out an objective written test on cycling and skating
The acquisition and comprehension of the theoretical-practical conceptual contents of cycling and skating will be evaluated. The weighting in the rating is 25%.
Assessment test 2, objective test of a practical nature: 35%
The practical test has two content blocks that must be passed separately. Active participation in sessions will be taken into account:
- Practical Block 1: Athletics. Students will carry out individually: a 60m hurdles race, where they will evaluate time and execution; high jump, where performance and height will be evaluated; and discus throw, where performance and distance will be evaluated. The weighting in the rating is 25%.
- Practical Block 2: Skating. Students will individually perform forward movement with balloons, 90º turn technique, braking technique, change of direction and backward movement, evaluating time and execution. The weighting in the rating is 10%.
Test 3, theoretical-practical work: 15%
A single individual practical theoretical work related to cycling will be carried out. Two alternatives will be offered, one more related to teaching-learning, and another related to performance. The weighting in the rating is 15%.
To average each test must be passed with a 5.0 (out of 10). Exceptionally, it can be averaged if a single block does not reach the rating of 5.0 but is equal to or greater than 4.5.
4. Methodology, learning tasks, syllabus and resources
4.1. Methodological overview
The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards achievement of the learning objectives. It is intended that students use the appropriate methodological progressions, taking into account the risk of injuries.
Students are expected to participate actively in the class throughout the semester.
Classroom materials will be available via Moodle. These include a repository of the lecture notes used in class, the course syllabus, as well as other course-specific learning materials, including a discussion forum.
Further information regarding the course will be provided on the first day of class.
Given the exceptional situation caused by COVID-19, the theoretical sessions will be online. Weekly students will receive a document with the theoretical syllabus and a recording of the explanation and presentation of these topics. In this way they can access this information at any time and organize their own work. In the same way, they will be regularly summoned for sessions in Google Meet where we can clarify concepts or answer questions or expand the content that the students themselves require.
In any case, the indications received from the Dean of the Faculty will prevail.
4.2. Learning tasks
Theoretical classes. 15 telematic sessions equivalent to 1 hour of face-to-face class and complementary Google Meet sessions. In them the basic theoretical knowledge of the subject is presented to the students, which will deal with the topics exposed in the program with the following syllabus:

2.1. General
2.2. Basic positions
2.3. Push and slide
2.4. Braking in line
2.5. Falls
2.6. Changes of direction
Theoretical sessions: 15 theoretical sessions lasting 1 hour in a classroom in the business building.
Practical seminar sessions: 5 hours in person. They will take place on outdoor tracks and specific practical activities will be carried out in a small group. In these sessions the skating practices will be developed. Although the practice groups are smaller in the seminars, work waves will be established so that there are no more than 6 students on the track simultaneously and they must maintain a minimum distance of 2 meters between them.
Practical field sessions: 27 hour and a half sessions per student, that is, 40.5 contact hours, work in three groups. They will take place on the athletics tracks of the Ciudad Deportiva, on the outdoor tracks of the Río Isuela Sports Center and, eventually, there are trips with the bicycle from the Sports center of the Faculty. At the beginning of the semester the dates of the exits will be specified and the students will be informed. During cycling practices, each student must use their bicycle and their own tool only and exclusively. The sessions on the outdoor rinks will follow the same protocol as for skating practices (6 students simultaneously on the rink and a minimum distance of 2 meters between them). The material should be disinfected before and after each practical activity. Athletics sessions must respect the safety distance of 2 meters at all times and will not share material. In such a way that we will work by stations and small groups so that each launching material is used by a single student in each session.
4.3. Syllabus
The program of this subject consists of a theoretical part and a practical part.
The sports included in the program are athletics, cycling and skating. In the theoretical part of the subject, the history and basic rules of competition will be studied, and the basic techniques (learning progressions, materials, teaching methodologies, errors and correction exercises) will be analyzed.
In the practical part of the subject, the method and learning progressions of the technical gestures of each of the sports modalities will be learned, the different materials and their correct use will be valued, as well as improvement exercises will be proposed according to the technical errors that are commit.
4.4. Course planning and calendar
Practice sessions on cycling and athletics are on Mondays and Wednesdays. Skate sessions are held during the seminars.
Students must submit a written assignment whose topic is explored during the first classes. For students who attend classes, the practical tests will be done during the class sessions, with prior notice to the students.
The date of the written exam will be the day of the official call.
