Course objectives
The summer school is developed to provide students from universities with a cross-cultural learning experience. The program provides an opportunity for undergraduate and also for Ph.D. students to learn about the field of Kinesiology. Students will explore the exercise-related concepts in classrooms, laboratories and through field trips.
Learning outcomes
1. to acquire information in field of assessment of human performance, kinesiotherapy regeneration and nutrition in sport
2. to enhance practical skills with Laboratory assessment of human performance
3. to identify fitness needs and provide an individualized exercise prescription
4. to acquire the ability to analyze the physiology parameters during the performance of the top athlete taking into account the specifics of individual sports disciplines
5. to analyse the athlete's movement skills and decide on an adequate approach to kinesiotherapy as a preventive and regenerative program
6. to understand the possibilities of using psychomotor activities and games for people with special needs
7. to define the role of dietary supplements in human nutrition
8. to apply massage therapy specifically for sport and rehabilitation as you learn
9. to integrate techniques and mind/body concepts
Syllabus
  • 1.Laboratory assessment of human performance (Factors affecting performance, Work Tests, Components of Effective physiological testing, Submaximal exercise testing, Maximal oxygen consumption measurements, Determination of exercise economy, Determination of anaerobic power) 2. Applied kinesiotherapy as a prevention & Physiological aspects of muskuloskeletal system in muscle performance(Examination of dynamic stereotypes, Stylization into stereotypes - variability in testing Practice, Therapeutic program and its specifics from the perspective of the physiotherapist, Application of physiological movement to a training program in the gym or with aids. 3.Training Principles: The Science behind improving athletic performance (Training to improve aerobic power,Training to improve anaerobic power, Training to improve muscular strength) 4. Recovery for performance in sport (Periodization and managing recovery, Strategies for optimizing recovery) 5. Applied Psychomotorics(Psychomotor activities for specific target groups) 6.Translating science into practise 7.Dietary supplements in human nutrition 8.Anthropometric characteristics and nutritional profile of athletes 9.Basic techniques of sports massage Evaluation of athlete to determine whether a massage is indicated or contraindicated, Treatment considerations and guidelines, Practice of massage strokes)
