Presentation
The primary objective of this course unit is to introduce and develop students' understanding of the main domains of health- and performance-related physical fitness. It also aims to explore a range of physical fitness assessment methods, enabling students to integrate theoretical and practical content in order to select assessment protocols appropriate to different cases.

Syllabus
The different domains of physical fitness associated with health and performance, and the assessment of readiness for exercise; Assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness (laboratory methodologies and field tests; estimation of ( \mathrm{VO_2max} )); Assessment of muscular fitness; Assessment of body composition (field-based methodologies, e.g., skinfold thickness, and laboratory-based methods, e.g., densitometry, among others).

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Classes will be delivered in a theory-practice format, using experiential learning and the discussion of case studies. A blended-learning (b-learning) approach will be used via the Moodle platform, where supporting materials for each class (slides and reading materials) will be made available. Continuous assessment: To complete continuous assessment, students must sit one individual in-class test (60% of the final grade) and deliver a group presentation on one of the performance-related components of physical fitness (40% of the final grade). All assessment components must receive a mark of at least 9.5 (out of 20), and the final mark must also be at least 9.5 (out of 20). Assessment by final examination: Those who fail the continuous assessment may take an exam (to be scheduled after the end of classes) in July.

Na apresentação de grupo é esperado que os estudantes tenham sentido crítico, que tragam algo de novo (para além do que já foi abordado) (novidade), que utilizem uma linguagem e fontes científicas credíveis (cientificidade) e que consigam expor com qualidade os seus conteúdos (exposição), irão ser classificados de 0-20 nestes 4 domínios e a média ponderada dará origem a uma classificação final no trabalho de grupo.
