About Study Course
Objective
To provide students with systematic knowledge of the structure of the human body, the functioning of skeletal and muscular systems, organs and regulating systems, as well as their role in the implementation of movements and sporting activities. Develop the skills to demonstrate anatomical formations and analyse their functional role in sports movements.
Preliminary Knowledge
General knowledge in biology: basic structure of the human body (cell, tissue, organs, systems).
Basics of medical and sports science: at least a high school-level understanding of human physiology and principles of health preservation.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.The anatomical structure of the skeletal system and its parts will be recognized and described.
Individual work • Test about skeleton and its joints • Worksheets • Final exam
2.Will recognise muscle system elements, muscle group placement and key functions.
Final exam • Individual work • Worksheets • Muscle system test
3.Recognize and describe the structure and operating principles of cardiovascular, respiratory and other organ systems.
Crossword puzzles • Individual work • System test • Final exam
4.Will recognise and describe the structure and role of the central and peripheral nervous system in motion regulation.
Final exam • System test • Individual work • Crossword puzzles
5.Will recognise structural changes in the body as a result of regular physical activity.
Test about skeleton and its joints • Individual work • System test • Final exam • Muscle system test
Skills
1.Demonstrate and identify muscles, bones and organs on mulages, anatomical preparations and posters.
Final exam • Test about skeleton and its joints • Muscle system test
2.Analyse muscle function in different movements and explain the movements of specific joints.
Worksheets • Muscle system test • Final exam
3.Apply anatomy knowledge in the context of sports practice and health promotion.
System test • Final exam • Muscle system test • Test about skeleton and its joints
Competences
