Class Theory of Sports Training III - Skating

In the present, the roller skating includes a diverse set of disciplines: artistic skating, velocity skating, roller hockey, inline hockey and skateboarding. The knowledge, skills and aptitudes worked in this CU provide the basis for professional intervention in different contexts, particularly, at the level of fundamental didactic procedures in the skating teaching (either in training context, in physical education class or school sports context).

Theme 1. Familiarization phase

Safety; how to equip; skating contact; how to stand up/fall down; basic position; static balance; static displacement; dynamic balance; dynamic displacement.

Theme 2. Assimilation phase 

Skating forward on a rectilinear trajectory, skating forward opening and closing legs “8s”, curvilinear trajectories with semi-parallel skates, T brake, convergent brake.

Theme 3.  Transition phase

Curvilinear trajectories crossing legs, lateral break, skating forward performing a 180, braking with brakes, jumps

Theme 4. Consolidation phase

Skating backwards opening and closing legs “8s”, Skating backwards with semi-parallel skates; skating backwards crossing legs;

Theme 5. Interdisciplinary phase

Handball, Basketball, Football, Badminton and several other games (Performed on skates).

The dichotomous role of the student (observer and performer) is evident in all classes of activities related to safety rules and the teaching of the skating foundation technique.

To assess the contents learned and their development, several assessment moments will be performed. On a first moment, the theoretical components will be assessed through a written test. On a second moment, in groups of 3-5 elements, students plan a 45-minute skating class and perform a pedagogical intervention. Finally, there is a joint assessment of the skating components (which will be assessed in circuit format) as well as attendance / punctuality, progression, motor engagement and learning.
