Course detail

Exercise Physiology

CESA-SFTZAcad. year: 2020/2021

Learning outcomes of the course unit The subject is aimed at obtaining an overview of the ways of loading the organism of an individual in various types of physical activities. The theoretical topics are followed by practical examples of loading of the organism using appropriate instrumentation. Part of the course is to acquaint students with the adaptation of the organism to stimuli of various character, nutritional patterns, drinking regime during physical activities and sport and health consequences of physical activities.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The graduate of the course will be able to:
- explain basic knowledge, concepts and put them into context with knowledge of physiology,
- describe basic examination methods in this area,
- choose the appropriate approach and method for a given problem in this area,
- consider client risks in certain species burdens
- use practically acquired knowledge.
In laboratory exercises the student will:
- acquire skills in the field of stress diagnostics,
- get acquainted with various methods of measurement in the laboratory and in the field.
- learn how to design the right physical load for a particular individual practically,
- acquire skills for basic operation of devices used to diagnose physiological parameters

Prerequisites

Aims

The aim of the course is to build on the basic overview of human physiology and to develop knowledge in the physiology of stress.
This course should provide students with the knowledge they need in vocational subjects and especially in practice.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
