Aim: to acquire and strengthen knowledge, skills and competencies about the importance and application of physical exercise in strengthening health, health sports, improving one's physical fitness and ability to work.
Develop a programme of physical activity recommendations for one month for a specific person, using aerobic, strength and flexibility exercises, indicating age, sex, height, weight, BMI, physical activity, physical fitness, health status. List the main goals in order of importance that the person wants to achieve through exercise. A matrix prepared in the e-studio which helps the student to prepare and design the programme.
Carry out physical activities to improve one's performance. Physical performance is checked by a test in an optional order. Prepares various exercises and demonstrates them in a group depending on the principle of action ( strength, flexibility, aerobic), anatomical principle ( legs, back, arms, chest, abdominal muscles).
Independently study the various topics of the course from the literature sources provided by the lecturer in order to prepare for the theory test and develop a programme of physical activity recommendations.

2. Recommendations for promoting physical activity in the Latvian population (2019)
3. Sport Policy Guidelines 2021-2027 (only the aim and policies of the sport policy need to be known page 11)
4. Energy supply during muscle work, anaerobic exchange threshold. (pages 181-184)
5. Structure of sports training. (Gr. 2, p. 80)
6. Training load, fatigue symptoms after different load magnitudes (pages 81-84)
7. Stages of overtraining, triggers and aggravators of overtraining (p.84-85)
8. Health conditions in which sport is prohibited (pages 193-195)
9. Physical activity specificities in the elderly (pages 195-198)
10. The development of children's motor skills and the choice of sports activities appropriate to the child's level of
development (pp. 58-59) The effect of different intensity and volume of exercise on child growth (p. 60)
