Evaluation Methodology:
Through a set of theoretical-practical experiences, the specific contents of Athletics (races, march, heels and releases) are analyzed, namely, analyzing the situations arising from their specificity, from the perspective of the formulation of relations between the different technical disciplines. Identifying still the dominant characteristics that embody each one, in order to formulate the relationships that will exist among its most diverse forms of expression. Always having the concern of creating habits of study, research and observation, the evaluation is carried out through written tests (50%), research and observation works with oral exposition (25%) and multimedia expression and analysis of the situations carried out in class (25%).
