Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the prerequisites for physical activity (motor abilities and skills) and with the basic diagnostic methods of these prerequisites. Students will also gain knowledge about the factors that can influence the movement activity of an individual as well as about the main manifestations of motor skills during ontogenesis. In the course, students practically carry out the diagnosis of basic motor prerequisites (tests of motor abilities), but also the diagnosis of factors influencing motor activity (laterality, somatotype, chronological age, motor disorders, ...). This course provides the opportunity to acquire knowledge in the field of general movement assumptions of an individual and their external manifestations, which are needed and used in the study of subsequent subjects.
Learning outcomes
- Know the taxonomy of motor abilities and skills.
- Understand the basic processes associated with motor learning also in the context of ontogenesis.
- Explain the rules of ontogeny and the process of motor learning and synthesize this knowledge with knowledge of selected biological subsystems.
- Diagnose the level of motor abilities and skills using simple tests.
- Understand the relationship of selected factors (laterality, somatotype, motor disorders...) to the physical activity of an individual.
- Apply more complex test systems in practice.
- Apply acquired knowledge in the field of anthropomotorics in subsequent professional subjects.
Syllabus
  • 1. Anthropomotorics - area of investigation, methods, area of use of testing, history of testing.
  • 2. Motor abilities and skills - definition, taxonomy and structure.
  • 3. Diagnostic methods of the level of motor abilities and skills - motor tests and the testing process.
  • 4. Fitness abilities and their diagnosis.
  • 5. Coordination skills and their diagnosis.
  • 6. Hybrid abilities and their diagnostics.
  • 7. Ontogeny of motor skills - motor development, rules, age periods and their typical signs, motor development testing.
  • 8. Motor learning process and its phases.
  • 9. Laterality and its diagnosis.
  • 10. Body structure and somatotype - history, methods used in the saving population, somatograph - method of recording and evaluating data.
  • 11. Motor disorders.
  • 12. Test systems and their use in practice – test profiles and test batteries.
Literature
Teaching methods
Frontal teaching at lectures (use of interactive multimedia materials and e-learning)
Visual-demonstration method in part of the seminars with the application of activation methods
Practical measurements/testing in seminars
Continuous testing of knowledge: a prerequisite for participation in the seminar is knowledge of basic information on the topic, which will be verified in the introductory phase of the seminar
Independent and homework in the preparation and processing of outputs
Self-study of recommended literature
Interactive syllabus
Assessment methods
Participation in seminars (2 absences are allowed)
Continuous and comprehensive processing of the outputs of practical measurements at seminars connected with the submission of the final protocol with the evaluation of the student's results
Continuous anthropomotor test (20 questions, 70% correct answers required)
Oral exam (The student must pass the final test before the exam, and the final protocol of the evaluation of the measurements from the seminars will be requested for the exam. Part of the exam will be thematically devoted to the reflection of the measured results and their factual and practical consequences)
Language of instruction
Czech
Further Comments
The course is taught annually.
