Course objectives
The goal of this subject is to provide the student with understanding of the physiology and physiology of exercise and sport. Exercise Physiology is intended for students of physiotherapy. In practical lessons is including work tests.
Learning outcomes
The course is thematically focused so that basic information about the function of the human body and its organs is presented and practically applied, where the student will actively participate in the implementation of specific tasks, exercises and tests and program essays. The Exercise will include independent development of worksheets. - The class is designed to help the student understand the basic functions of the human body as a whole (system), as well as in terms of the function of individual organs, and to understand the interaction between the human body and the external environment to maintain homeostasis. - Similarly, how the function of the human body (and the function of its individual organs) is affected by physical stress, disease, stress, etc. - The student will learn about the differences in the functions of the human body in childhood, adulthood and old age. - The knowledge acquired in the study of Physiology will enable the student to understand concepts and processes in the human body, which the student will encounter in further further studies at FSpS. - Completion of the Physiology course is a prerequisite for enrolment in the follow-up courses at FSpS.
