Learning outcomes
The aim of the study-unit is to introduce the physiology of physical exercise and sport. In practical exercises students are taught how to evaluate the physiological characteristics of the body during physical activity, which can be applied in their future practice. Most of the topics are dedicated to the evaluated function of the transport system through a series of stress tests and selected somatic characteristics of athletes. The lectures aim of this study-unit is to explain the physiological processes of individual organs and systems of the body. The content of teaching allows students to understand the physiological and clinical physical exercise. Students completing the course will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of the physiology of physical exercise and sport. Exercises teach students properly how to evaluate the necessary somatic and functional characteristics of athletes.
After passing this subject the student is able to use basic theoretical and practical knowledge from functional anatomy focused on presented issues: - Physiological changes during physical load, focused on neuromuscular physiology, functions of transport system, drug abuse in sport and special load physiology focused on specific sport sphere. Student will have theoretical knowlgedne and will be able to show some basic and complex functional tests. The student will also know special anthropometric method for body evaluation and its development.
Prerequisites
basic knowledge of the functional anatomy and human physiology
