Course content
The subject is an introduction to the mechanical foundations of human movement and sports equipment, the application of knowledge of kinesiology, the use of knowledge of biomechanics for determination techniques in various areas of kinanthropology. Topics of lectures and seminars: 1. Introduction. Basics of biomechanics (History of biomechanics, definition of the field, goals, research methods) 2. Forces and static equilibrium, vectors and scalars (addition, subtraction, scalar product, vector decomposition into components). 3. Center of gravity, geometry of the human body, stability, moment of force, balance 4. Kinematics of human movement (Basic concepts, motion (uniform rectilinear, uniformly accelerated, circular) and velocity (instantaneous, average, average, circumferential), acceleration, frequency, period; kinematics of a mass point free fall, vertical throw, horizontal throw, oblique litter) 5. Dynamics of human movement (Definition, Newton's laws, forces inhibiting movement, resistance forces, momentum, collisions of bodies) 6. Fluid mechanics (properties of fluids, hydrostatic pressure, hydrostatic buoyancy, Archimedes' law, fluid dynamics, flow of bodies, Magnus effect, continuity equation). 7. Energy aspect of human movement (mechanical work, mechanical power, energy, law of conservation of mechanical energy, power, power, efficiency, inertia of rotating bodies, moment of inertia) 8. Biomechanical aspects of the selected movement - walking. 9. Biomechanical aspects of the selected movement - Athletic disciplines (running, jumping, throws). 10. Biomechanical aspects of the selected movement - Downhill and cross-country skiing (running, jumping, throwing). 11. Biomechanical aspects of the selected movement - Swimming and water sports. 12. Biomechanical aspects of the selected movement - Ball sports. 13. Biomechanical aspects of other physical activities - Cycling, gymnastics, combat sports. 14. Credit and inspection hour.

Learning outcomes
This study-unit course is an introduction to the mechanical foundations of a human movement and a sport equipment, an application of a knowledge of anatomy, physiology and kinesiology, biomechanics knowledge utilisation for determination techniques in various sports.
Students will understand theoretically and practically in the basic physical quantities respectively. forces that can affect humans in different types of motorized locomotion. Students will be able to distinguish basic kinematic and dynamic movements man with subsequent numerical processing. The student will be able to diagnose forces in various types of environments and then calculate their possible influence on various types of movements, depending on the cross-sectional shape of the object or the material type. Student will be able to independently calculate what energy respectively. working person spends in a particular type of motor sports and locomotion. Students will be able to explain the basic structure and behavior of the musculoskeletal system during sporting activities and then selects the correct method for the accurate diagnosis.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of mathematics and physics of high school.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Attendance and active practicipation during seminars. To complete all given tasks in written form. Writter credit test (success 70%) Oral exam see the date in system STAG (enrolment is needed)
