Abstract Summary
The Olympic Games are a multi-sport global event with several modalities. Currently, thousands of athletes participate in the Olympic competitions, improving teamwork, organization and union in pursuit of a goal. "Biomechanics", a discipline present in the curriculum of Physiotherapy and Physical Education courses, covers topics related to anatomy, mathematics and physics [1] related to how our body performs movements according to physic laws. Some students experience difficulties in these topics. To help them, in 2012 we proposed the pedagogical didactic project called "Biomechanics Olympics" (BOG) aiming to relate the principles of the Olympic games with student’s objectives and promote a better learning [2]. Here we describe how this project works and the benefits it brings to teachers and students.
