Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Physiology
1. Growth and maturation. 2. Physical abilities of the child. 3. Specific physiological concepts in children.
Training
The course consists of six theoretical sessions. After an introduction on the peculiarities of each age group the course addresses the specificities of the training of the physical qualities in the child. The course introduces long-term development concepts such as LTAD. Several issues related to sports practice in young children are discussed:
(1) The problematic of early sport specialization.
(2) The adaptation of the sport and the equipment to the characteristics of the children.
(3) The interindividual difference in physiological maturity.
(4) Competitions adapted to children.
Examples of child-friendly best practices will be presented through different video clips.
Training examples for the different physical qualities are also proposed.models of competitions adapted to the children
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Physiology
Analyze the growth process and its implications for physical activity in young patients.
Training
Be able to analyze and plan a sport suitable for children and adolescents.
Be aware of the risks associated with early hyperspecialization and the importance of long-term development programs
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Physiology
Knowing the growth process and the basics of human physiology.
Training
Introduction to physical training, performance factors and performance evaluation are prerequisites for this module.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Physiology
A version of the slides proposed during lectures is posted on the website myULg. When a practical course is proposed, students must attend to the sessions. Their presence is controlled at the beginning of each lesson
Training
Courses ex cathedra.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Training
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
Additional information:
The theoretical part will be evaluated through an exam which includes 4 short open questions (or MCQ) on the whole of the material seen in the module.
A serious deficiency (score < 8/20) in one of the two theoretical parts (physiology, training) implies a failure in the whole module.
Physiology
Evaluation to be defined in the context of integrated assessment (Review writing incorporated in June).
Training
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
Additional information:
The theoretical part will be evaluated through an exam that includes 8 to 10 short open questions (or MCQs) on all the material covered in the module.
The final theoretical grade will count for 80% of the points.
The practical grade will include the psychomotricity internship (Pr Jidovtseff -CEReKi: 50% of the practical evaluation) and the motor learning internship (Pr Mouton: 50% of the practical evaluation), and will count for 20% of the final evaluation of the module.
A mark lower than 9/20 in theory or practice implies a final mark <10/20
A serious deficiency (grade < 8/20) in one of the theoretical parts (physiology, training, psychomotricity and motor education) or in one of the practical parts implies a failure of the whole module.
