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.

Assessment

Individual work

Title
% from total grade
Grade
1.

Individual work

-
-

Acquisition of anatomical terms, repetition of lecture material, use of visual circuits.

Regular teaching is a prerequisite for successfully passing tests and exams.

2.

Worksheets

5.00% from total grade
Test

Thematic worksheets are designed as knowledge-building tasks:

  • The skeleton and its joints
  • neck, torso and back muscles
  • upper limb muscles
  • lower limb muscles

The purpose of these works is to virtually link theory to visual and analytical application of knowledge.

3.

Crossword puzzles

5.00% from total grade
Test

– Interactive exercises on:

  • the nervous system
  • cardiovascular systems

This work promotes the acquisition of terminology and tests the student’s ability to structure knowledge.

Examination
