D- Master the concept of motor competence and know how to assess it;
E- Know and be able to apply methodologies for assessing physical growth, specifically mastering the basic techniques of anthropometry;
F- Know and use technology to analyse motor development and sports analysis.
Program
1. Fundamental concepts: development, growth, maturation, motor skills and behaviour;
2. Types of motor skills: rudimentary, foundational and specialised;
3. Pyramid of motor development;
4. General characterisation of the different stages of human development;
5. Concepts of sensitive period and critical period;

8. Basic concepts of anthropometry: instruments, measurement techniques and types of error;
9. Anthropometry protocols for the main measurements;
10. Somatotype: concept, quantification, evaluation and interpretation;
11. Using technology to analyse motor development and sports analysis.
Evaluation Methodology
Final Assessment by Exam only:
- Individual written exam on the contents of the course (50% final mark);
- Individual practical test of anthropometric measurements (50% final mark).
Final grade formula: (written exam grade + anthropometric measurements practical test grade) / 2
