Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Physiotherapy (Eng.) (programme LF, B-SZ)

Course objectives

The main goal of this study unit is to introduce the students to physical fitness and exercise physiology. The unit allows them to gain experience and to develop their own training and rehabilitation programs in order to improve fitness, health and quality of life through exercise and physical activity.

Learning outcomes

Student will know after completing the subject:
- basic theoretical and methodological knowledge about the processes of physical exercise and physiology of physical load
- the use of physical training to increase physical fitness, health and quality of life by physical activity

Syllabus

• Basic concepts (performance, strength, workload, pressure, capacity, efficiency, etc.)
• Reactivity and adaptation (desadaptation, maladaptation) to physical stress
• Fitness and performance – definition (general fitness, physical fitness, physical performance), factors limiting fitness and performance
• Somatic status as the limiting factor of fitness and performance
• Musculoskeletal system - muscular strength and its components (isometric, isotonic, isokinetic, special), muscle strength, peak torque, workload (anaerobic, aerobic), muscular endurance (static, dynamic), muscular flexibility (static, dynamic)
• Transport system - transport system capacity, cardiovascular system (limiting factors, response and adaptation), respiratory system (functional parameters, reaction and adaptation to physical stress), relations between the parameters of transport system
• Metabolism - energetic metabolism, inner environment, acid-base balance, thermoregulation during exercise Influence of regular physical activity (training) on the fitness and performance
• Environmental factors (height, cold, heat, moisture) on the fitness and performance
• Age and sex-related particularities of the reactivity and adaptation to physical stress
• Other factors affecting fitness and performance (fatigue, recovery, nutrition, etc.)
