Presentation
This option, within the scope of Pure Swimming, aims to equip students with essential skills in the process of prescription and assessment of the young athlete's training process, through the application of appropriate loads according to the swimmer's stage of development. The process of applying loads requires a broad set of general knowledge and, above all, specific skills, whose results manifest in complex adaptive processes in the short, medium, and long term. Thus, mastering the subjects concerning Motor Skills - Strength, Endurance, Speed, Flexibility, and Coordination, the technical and technical-tactical components, the observation and assessment process, embodied in long, medium, and short-term periodization processes, will be absolutely decisive for the success of this curricular unit.
