- Course objectives
- The course graduate will be able to theoretically describe various running techniques, biomechanically analyze the running stride, and identify errors in a running process. Furthermore, the student will know the methodology of learning to run, the possibilities of using running as a form of active regeneration and increasing physical fitness in other sports disciplines. The graduate will also master different forms of strength training as a regenerative support tool.
