Course objectives
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to provide students with advanced information about motor skills, motor skills and to introduce: - definition of different authors, relations and intersection of individual ss. - motor learning - theory, examples of video projections. - movement skills, movement programs according to Schmidt, production of motor skills. - motor test properties. - motor ontogenesis, examples of video projections from different ages. - Demonstration of modern instrumentation for diagnostics of motor abilities - anthropomotoric disposition of athletes and methods of their identification
Learning outcomes
To deepen the knowledge of the fundamentals of human motor skills, motor skills and skills. The peculiarities of "production of movement skills" according to Schmidt theory "(using a foreign expert). To know the development of motor skills in ontogenesis. To deepen the knowledge of motodiagnostics and to process the results of research measurements, to verify the properties of motor tests. The seminar will discuss with students the peculiarities of their projects in terms of anthropomotorics. At the end of the course the student will be able to explain the essence of motor skills, peculiarities in the production of motor skills and their development by motor learning. They will be able to correctly process and interpret the results of research measurements. SPORT.ANTR. Students will understand the anthropometric dispositions of athletes. Students know basic anthropometric methods of examination of athletes. Students should be able to interpret the results of a standard anthropometric examination of an athlete. They are able to apply their knowledge in the realization of their dissertation. Students will be able to plan, perform and evaluate anthropometric measurements in research projects using state-of-the-art equipment.
Syllabus
  • Human motorics and its characters Motor skills and skills - new knowledge Motodiagnostics - methods, examples 1. Fundamentals of human motorics, essence of motor abilities and skills with videomaterials during motor learning of chosen skill. 2. Video materials demonstrating the development of selected skills during ontogenesis. 3. Motodiagnostics, processing of research measurements. Examples of new test batteries and demonstration of the latest instruments for laboratory measurement of motor manifestations. 4. Properties of motor tests, video material verification of reliability and objectivity of motor tests. 5. Seminars to students' projects with their presentations. sp.antr. 1. Introduction to sports anthropology. 2. Relationship between somatic development and motor performance. 3. Impacts of physical stress on somatic development. 4. Anthropometry - basic indicators and their evaluation. Reference values. 5. Weight and height, relevant indices 6. Body height in children - development and its evaluation relative to age, sexual differences. Growth disorders - low and high growth - familial and pathogenic factors. Bone growth and physical load. 7. Length and circumferential parameters of hull and limbs, respective indices. 8. Body composition - definitions, models, methods of body components determination (Pařízková, Matiegka, electroimpedance methods BodyStat and * InBody). 9. Somatotype (Shledon, Heath and Carter) 10. Biological age - "proportional age", development of sexual signs, dentition, skeletal maturity (TW20 method). Sexual differences. 11. Prediction of final body height - indications, methods, reliability and accuracy. 12. Specific anthropological issues of selected sports - optimal somatic parameters, selection of talented youth for intensive preparation for state representation
