Psychophysiology is the science that studies the biological structures that regulate behavior. Knowledge, skills and skills in this area provide bases for the intervention of the physical education, sports training or exercise and wellness professional, specifically in terms of understanding and modification of motor behavior.

In continuous evaluation, theoretical and theoretical-practice classes (where the experience learning will be applied, with the placement of problems and group work) and the b-learning system will be used, where materials of support for each of the classes (slides and supporting texts), as well as a discussion forum. The supporting materials include peer-reviewed papers and new dissemination materials such as microblogging and TED talks
