Learning outcomes
After successfully completing the course, the student will be able to:
1. describe and demonstrate skills in downhill and cross-country skiing
- demonstrate basic skiing skills needed for teaching and safe, effective management of sports activities especially in downhill and cross-country skiing
- individually assess the appropriateness of the selection of preparatory exercises for a specific individual
- analyze errors in the technique of downhill and cross-country skiing
- choose suitable exercises and drills for correcting errors in downhill and cross-country skiing technique
- analyze video footage of performance in downhill and cross-country skiing and identify deficiencies in technique
- they will propose didactic series to eliminate deficiencies in the technique
