Abstract
Cílem předmětu je získat znalosti o funkci lidského těla na úrovni předmětu Fyziologie zátěže a aplikovat je na vybrané úpolové sporty a související technické činnosti. Přednášky se konají - po dobu epidemie - distanční formou!
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- apply current knowledge of stress physiology to the needs of security forces;
- to describe and summarize important concepts of human physiology and pathophysiology in extreme conditions.
Key topics
  • Syllabus of lectures:
  • Introduction to ASEBS Physiology, Response and Adaptation to Load
  • Metabolic Performance Characteristics - Response and Adaptation to Load
  • Functional Performance Characteristics - Reaction and Adaptation to Load
  • Somatic Characteristics of Athlete - Response and Adaptation to Load
  • Stress reaction
  • Physiology of fatigue
  • Human Physiology and Pathophysiology in Extreme Conditions:
  • - thermoregulation (the reaction and adaptation of the body to heat and cold)
  • - stay in a mountainous environment (reaction and adaptation of the organism)
  • - Diving (reactions and adaptation of the body to high pressure)
  • - gravitational overload (reaction and adaptation of the organism)
  • - fasting, dehydration, stress
  • Introduction to forensic medicine (drowning, suffocation)
  • Testing in a laboratory and field (theory)
  • Syllabus of Seminars:
  • Introduction to Physiology ASEBS
  • Sports Performance Factors
  • Metabolic performance characteristics
  • Functional performance during performance
  • Specific adaptations of the organism to the load
  • Stress tests - introduction, performance characteristics of the athlete
  • Determination of thresholds (ventilation, lactate, circulating), Conconi test
  • Spiroergometry
  • PWC170
  • Selected tests of anaerobic assumptions (Jump ergometry, Wingate test)
  • Somatic Characteristics of an Athlete
  • Somatotype
  • Health risks of combative sports
