This CU - from the 1st cycle and scientific area of Physical Education and Sport - aims to transmit updated knowledge about the relationship between public health and physical fitness levels, and the risk of disease or injury both in physical activity and health (AFS), and in sports performance (ARD). It is intended that students understand the relationship between: 1) the different levels of physical activity and the development of chronic diseases or all-cause mortality; and 2) the different types of loads of exercise and the risk of sports injury. Both the main recommendations for physical activity levels and the most common injury prevention protocols used in different sports will also be conveyed. This conceptual basis is decisive for the correct planning and embellishment of intervention plans in both physical education, AFS, and, also, ARD scopes.

Objectives
Objectives
It is intended that students of this CU, develop the following learning objectives: 1. Ability to characterize the different physical activity levels and their relationship with health, in the different spectrum of physical education, physical activity and sport. 2. Know the physiological basis of the relationship between physical activity and health; 3. Understand the dose-response relationship of physical activity and exercise. 4. Know and apply the main methods of assessing physical activity and external load. 5. Assess and stratify the risk of illness or injury, in the different populations. 6. Know the main recommendations for the levels of physical activity and the respective world reference organizations. 7. Know the current national programs for the promotion of physical activity and the mission of the respective organizations. 8. Plan, based on scientific evidence, effective interventions in the field of physical activity and health, and injury prevention
