Physiology of Sport
CESA-SFTZAcad. year: 2021/2022
Learning outcomes of the course unit:
The subject is aimed at obtaining an overview of the ways of loading the organism of an individual in various types of physical activities. The theoretical topics are followed by practical examples of loading of the organism using appropriate instrumentation.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will be able to:
- explain basic knowledge, concepts and link them with knowledge of physiology,
- describe the basic investigative methods in this area,
- choose the appropriate approach and method for the issue in question,
- to use practically acquired knowledge.
In laboratory exercises student:
- acquire stress diagnostics skills
- acquires skills in the field of examination of the locomotor apparatus,
- learn to practically propose proper physical load for a particular individual
- acquire skills for basic operation of instruments used to set up proper physical activity.
Based on the seminar paper and test results, the acquired knowledge and the ability to use this knowledge will be evaluated.
