Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The aim of the course will be to provide students with the knowledge of: - synergy of selected biological and physical systems of human movement, - complex relationships between mechanics and human movement, - empirical and theoretical schemes of biological and physical systems - advanced methods of human movement analysis
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to: - to recognize and understand the synergy of selected biological and physical systems of human movement, - Explain the complex relationships of mechanics and human movement -create empirical and theoretical schemes of biological and physical systems, and apply them in pedagogical practice - Using a foreign expert to ensure that students are able to: explain and apply basic biomechanical laws (on human movement, sports equipment, sports equipment and tools) to orientate in basic and combined methods of biomechanics
Syllabus
  • 1. Basic patterns of living organisms and human mechanics 2. Muscle strength as the root cause of human movement 3. Synergetic relationships of biological and physical systems 4. Kinematic analysis and kinematic chains 5. Dynamic analysis 6. Examples of the use of various kinematic and dynamic methods in statics and dynamics of human intentional movement, in sports activities, etc. 7. Methods of biomechanical research results evaluation 8. Possible results in pedagogical theory and practice
