Presentation
This CU is part of the 2nd cycle in Exercise and Health, in the area of Physical Education and Sport. It aims to provide updated knowledge regarding the main issues of Physiology applied to exercise / physical activity. It is intended that students know the physiological, functional and organic alterations resulting from the practice of different types of exercise / physical activity. This knowledge is decisive for the competent performance in exercise prescription and orientation, to devise training programs, physiologically based, for the improvement of the physical and physiological performance, and in the primary or secondary prevention of pathologies in which the lack of physical activity / exercise it is one of the risk factors.

A classificação final é determinada arredondando às unidades o valor da média aritmética ponderada das classificações obtidas nos momentos de avaliação. Para a aprovação a classificação final terá que ser > ou = a 9.5 valores.
Os estudantes que não obtenham aprovação poderão submeter-se a exame na época de recurso. O exame de recurso (prova escrita e prova oral) incidirá sobre a totalidade dos CP.
