Language

Main themes

Theory:

• Study of the different concepts of adapted physical and sports activities (APSA-therapy, specialised physical education, adapted sport for people with disabilities, etc.) and their specific objectives.
• Analysis of national and international federations organising adapted sport and the Paralympic movement,
• Medical and functional classification systems, technical aids and adaptations in recreational and competitive sports
• Equipment enabling disabled sports to be practised safely and to a high standard.
• Paralympic sports and recreational adapted sports activities.
• Adapted sport in inclusive or mainstream education with people with motor, sensory or intellectual impairments (PE)

Practice:

• Experimenting with and supervising physical and sporting activities for people with physical disabilities
• Experimenting with and supervising physical and sporting activities for people with sensory impairments (blind and partially sighted)
• Experimenting with and supervising physical and sporting activities for people with intellectual disabilities (EP)

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

Master the concepts underlying physical activity and disabled sport (specific public, classification, etc.) (1.2 EP - 3.1, 11.3 Physiotherapy) Explain the disabled sport landscape at Walloon, Belgian and international level and the different impacts this has on a person with a disability wishing to take part in physical activity (1.2 EP - 10.1 Physiotherapy) Analyse the person's motor, cognitive, emotional and sporting skills and guide them towards a sporting activity adapted to their abilities and disabilities (1.2 and 1.5 EP - 1.1, 2.2, 2.8, 3. 1, 5.2 Kiné) Offer Physical Activities adapted to the specific needs of people with motor, sensory and intellectual impairments (1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.12 EP - 2.8, 3.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4 Kiné) Offer specific activities for people with special needs, for specialised or inclusive teaching (1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.12 PE) Analysing pathological factors influencing parasport performance (EP)

Teaching methods

Theory:
• Lectures
• Group work (EP)
Practical:
• Practical work
• Sports activities
• Peer-led activities (PE)

Evaluation methods

• Theoretical:
o Theoretical assessment comprising multiple-choice questions (correct answer +1, no answer 0) and open questions relating to the course content covered in theory and practice.
o Group work (EP)
• Practical:
o Attendance at practical classes is compulsory. Absence from these classes without a valid reason will have a direct impact on the final course mark (see weighting).
o The activities and preparation for these activities will be assessed according to a criteria-based grid. (EP)
• Weighting (LFSM1314):
o 75% theoretical examination
o 12.5% preparation and supervision in the context of practical classes
o 12.5% group work on the analysis of factors affecting parasport performance
o The final course mark (theory and practice) will be multiplied by the number of practical classes attended out of the total number of practical classes (see above).
o The final mark reflects this percentage, provided that no mark is lower than 10/20. Any mark below 10/20 will result in a penalty on the weighted average of half a point for each point below the halfway mark (e.g. 8/20 in the exam = 2 points below the halfway mark, therefore 2*0.5 penalty, i.e. 1 point deducted from the weighted average).
