Exercise Medicine - Functional Anatomy

CESA-STELAcad. year: 2020/2021

Physical education medicine (hereinafter referred to as PE) is a clinical discipline whose basic subject is the physical and sports activity of a person in diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Physical education medicine is conceived as an interdisciplinary field following the preparatory morphological subjects of the first year. The interdisciplinary content of the field enables to combine the knowledge of various clinical specializations into common pragmatic outcomes, which introduces students to the application issues of technical subjects. Graduates will get an idea of ​​the links between physical activities and the health status of an individual, knowledge of the possibilities of positive and negative influence on human health through physical activities as well as medical-technological procedures. This knowledge is essential for understanding the links between clinical and preclinical medical disciplines and the links between medical sciences and sporting activities - which ultimately lead to a nation's health.
