About Study Course
Objective
Provide practical knowledge of the dynamic anatomy of human movements in the context of sport. The emphasis is on the sport’s more common movements – standing, gait, running, jumps, pushing, lifting heavyweights and throwing. Muscles and joints in movement phases, errors in technique and injury risks are looked at, with the aim of improving training efficiency and athlete safety.
Preliminary Knowledge
- Anatomy (basic course acquisition)
- basic knowledge of sports biomechanics
- basic knowledge of pedagogy and training science
- requires knowledge of the English language at a sufficient level to read the scientific literature of the sector indicated in the course bibliography, as well as to successfully acquire the terminology used in the course in English.

Prepare continuously for two intermediate items (includes 2 topics) corresponding to the topics and sequence of the study course. Find literature and Internet sources in the Library about muscle function in different sports. Conduct in-depth research into your sport and their inherent movements. Develop an individual presentation. Prepare for a final test that will include questions on all topics. |
