Objectives

The Sports Physiotherapy subject, which belongs to the subject of Physical Activity, Sport and Health, aims for the student to acquire the basic knowledge to act in the sports field, either to prevent or to diagnose and treat sports injuries.

Learning outcomes

• RA1. Describe the most frequent pathologies resulting from sports practice.
• LO2. Identify the basic techniques for treating the injured athlete.
• LO3. Identifies how to prevent and treat the most frequent injuries resulting from sports practice.
• LO4. Appropriately applies the different means (active and passive) for the athlete's recovery.
• LO5. Design an intervention plan adapted to each type of injured athlete.

Skills

General skills

• Cater to the health needs of the population and meet professional challenges through an innovative and dynamic outlook.

Specific skills

• Build and implement a physiotherapy intervention plan based on diagnosis, input from other professionals, available scientific evidence, and with the participation of the user/patient and their context, taking into account personal, relational and methodological aspects, and safety and efficiency.
• Collect, analyze and critically interpret relevant information on the user/patient and their context, within a biopsychosocial approach, to evaluate and make a clinical assessment of functional impairment, activity or participation.
• Design, implement and evaluate risk prevention and health promotion actions that have an impact on factors determining health (lifestyle, social and community networks, work environment, etc.), on the basis of development, maintenance and improvement in activity and movement, within a biopsychosocial framework.
• Participate as a physiotherapist in an interdisciplinary context, coordinating with other professionals and routinely participating in work teams in practice.

Basic skills

• Students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have competencies typically demonstrated through drafting and defending arguments and solving problems in their field of study.
• Students have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of independent learning.

Core skills

• Bring to bear values of entrepreneurship and innovation in one's academic and professional careers.
• Make use of professional skills in multidisciplinary, complex, networked environments, whether on-site or online.
• Reflect critically on knowledge of all kinds, with a commitment to professional rigor and quality.

7. Most frequent injuries in the different sports

Block 2

2. Physiotherapy treatment and prevention of the most frequent injuries in sport: the crunch. Muscle tension. The fibrillar rupture. Tibial periostitis. Plantar fasciitis. Lumbargia
3. Action protocol for the injured athlete: treatment of the injury. Readaptation to effort. Psychology of the injured athlete

Evaluation

According to the academic regulations for undergraduate studies at UVic-UCC, there is only one official call that foresees two different evaluation periods:

• Ordinary period, which takes place in an integrated way in the training process and during the teaching period.
• Complementary assessment period, in which the student can be assessed again for the tasks, activities or tests that he has not passed satisfactorily within the framework of the first period.

ordinary period

Continuous evaluation of the activities carried out by the student through:

• The practical contents (15% of the final grade): are assessed continuously during the learning process. The student who has not attended 80% of the practical classes must take a practical test of all blocks at the end of the semester. Not recoverable.
• The presentation of a follow-up work on a clinical case of scientific evidence with bibliographic research and related to a sports injury (35% of the final mark): it is handed in at the end of the semester. Not recoverable.
• The theoretical contents (50% of the final grade): are assessed through a written test taken at the end of the semester. recoverable

The assessment is continuous and all parts must be passed to pass the subject. If you do not pass any of the parts and the part in question does not represent more than 50% of the total evaluation of the subject, this part is considered pending evaluation. The outstanding part must be recovered during the corresponding complementary assessment period.

The final mark of the subject is the result of the weighting of the marks obtained in each of the parts. The subject is passed if a grade equal to or higher than 5 is obtained.

Complementary assessment period

The student who does not pass some of the activities considered recoverable can recover them during this period. The evaluation of this second period cannot account for more than 50% of the final mark of the subject.

The final grade for this period is calculated by taking the weighted average of the grades obtained in each of the parts, using the last grade obtained in the ordinary and the supplementary assessment. The subject is passed if a grade equal to or higher than 5 is obtained.

Methodology

Sessions with the class group in which the theoretical content of each block is presented and classes in two small groups in which the procedures of each block are developed in a practical and group way.
