FYB1300 Body, Movement and Activity Course description

1) Participation at the seminars is compulsory.

The minimum attendance requirement at the master's seminars is 80 per cent. To the extent possible, a student who exceeds the maximum limit for absence will be required to submit extra coursework to compensate for his/her absence. If this is not possible, the student must move down a year to the next year group.

2) The student must attend two hours of supervision in order to quality-assure their work on the project description.

The supervisor will evaluate the planned project, the project description and other important aspects of the master's thesis together with the student in the initial phase.

The coursework requirements must be met before the master's thesis can be submitted for assessment.

The student must have been admitted to the study programme.

After completing the course and INTER1100, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence (INTER1100 addresses the learning outcomes marked with two asterisks (**)):

• explain different perspectives on the body and movement
• explain different theories on motivation and coping
• explain movement development across the lifespan and describe different theoretical understandings
• explain different theories on motor learning and control
• describe standardised tools for measuring physical condition and physical activity, developed for different health conditions and age groups
• describe what structures are affected by the use of different soft tissue techniques, explain the physiological mechanisms, and explain possible contraindication
• explain the potential of different body systems for exercise adaptation
• can explain the process of growing up in a society characterised by social and cultural diversity**

Skills

General competence

The student

• can administer lifesaving first aid
• has an understanding of interprofessional cooperation with children, adolescents and their families**

Grade scale A-F. The master's thesis can be adjusted up or down by one grade on the basis of the oral exam.

One external and one internal examiner will assess all the students.

Individual practical and oral exam, up to 30 minutes

No aids are permitted.

Grade scale A-F.

All answers are assessed by two examiners.

An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.
