Learning Goals
Objectives:
1. To know the pathophysiology of the disease of AIDS and cancer.
2. To understand how should intervene in treatment of the pathology of AIDS and cancer.
3. To understand the physiological effects and specific constraints
4. To prescribing appropriate exercise to the pathology of AIDS and cancer
5. To mastering functional assessment protocols and use this information in designing individual exercise programs.
Competences:
1. To know the main implications in physiological terms and specific constraints caused by the pathology of AIDS and cancer.
2. To know the general and specific considerations that patients must follow before starting an exercise program to avoid risks.
3. To perform physical exercise programs in the treatment of the disease AIDS and cancer.
4. To keeping pace with the effects of intervention at the level of physiological variables
5. To acquiring the ability to communicate ideas and scientific knowledge in oral and written form

Teaching Methods
We advocate teaching centred on student learning and learning centred on the development of skills. Theoretical classes are plenary and based on the scientific method, valuing the research of information, the interpretation of experimental results and a critical attitude and scientific rigour in students, where they will develop skills that are transversal to other CUs, such as the application of training methods and the application of assessment instruments and protocols to control the physiological adaptations produced after physical exercise, improving their ability to prescribe exercise in populations with AIDS or cancer. Students must actively participate in the preparation and execution of the work, in the group discussion of the results and in drawing up the individual work report. Digital resources will be used to manage communication through the Moodle platform, which will be used to organise and make available materials relating to the teaching and learning process.
Assessment
Assessment will be centered on the self-regulation of students' learning, where they receive feedback on their performance at different times throughout the lessons. The assessment includes questions posed in class, as well as the organization and presentation by the students of relevant scientific articles and their discussion with the teacher (20% of the grade), and a written assessment through an exam (30% of the grade). In addition to face-to-face work, there will be an investment in work essentially through resources made available on Moodle and b-on. The realization and discussion of the work presented by the students will be guided by specific objectives to be achieved in the different syllabuses (50% of the grade).
Passing the course requires a final mark of 10 or more on the proposed tasks, on a scale of 0-20. The appeal assessment requires the completion and discussion of an assignment with 100% of the grade.
