Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Laboratory, Group work
Learning outcomes
Cardiovascular, respiratory and musculatural responses and adaptation to exercise. Exercising Musile. Metabolism and bioenergetics. Neural and hormonal control of exercising Musile. Environmental influences on performance. Exercise training. Children and adolescents in sport and exercise.
Students will understand the complex relationship between human physiology and exercise, Knowledge of response and adaptation to exercise and knowledge of age physiology differences allows students to practice sport and exercise in the teaching process.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites for these subjects are the courses: Human Anatomy

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Test

Knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. Understanding the relationships between physiological function and exercise. Practical exercises, submission of protocol and seminar work on a given topic. Compensation and passing written and oral tests. Two intermediate tests are required to complete the subject successfully. Once these have been completed, you can sign up for the final test.
