Course content
Learning outcomes of the course unit The course builds on acquired basic genetics information and focuses on the use of genetics and its branches in sport. 1. A brief repetition of the basic concepts of genetics. 2. The process of transferring genetic information at the molecular level. 3. Characteristics of DNA, gene, polymorphism (SNP), mutation, genotype, phenotype. Creating a pedigree based on a selected phenotype. 4. Characteristics of physical abilities related to genetic polymorphisms. 5. Selected polymorphisms with supposed effect on sport performance. 6. - 8. Possibilities of finding information about the polymorphisms (internet links, genofonds, work with current studies) 9. Sampling, examination and processing of collected data (on-line statistics). 10. Mitochondrial DNA. Nutrigenomics. 11. Application possibilities acquired in practice. 12. How it works in the genetic laboratory (maybe excursion). 13. Discussion on the acquired knowledge about particular selected polymorphisms. 14. Final rehearsal and debate about acquired knowledge and possibilities of their application.

Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the subject is to extend the knowledge in the field of genetics with focus on sport performance and performance. This course freely follows a course focusing on the basics of genetics, which defines the basic concepts and extends students' knowledge within specific polymorphisms with a focus on the latest research in the field. Emphasis will be put on new and up-to-date methods of investigation, financial security and ethics. From the point of view of the understanding of the research methods used, the effort will be made to excursion to a certified genetic laboratory.
The course freely follows the subject of the basics of genetics. Students have basic knowledge of the field.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of genetics and molecular biology, human anatomy and physiology.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Active participation of the student at the seminar. Completing the assigned tasks and presenting a paper on the chosen topic.
