Course objectives
The aims of the subject (part Basic gymnastics) are following:
- Familiarization with methodological and didactic procedures during warm up (without/with accompaniment of music)
- Application of joint-mobilisation exercises
- Interconnection of theoretical and practical knowledge from the area of the stretching and the strengthening and their use in individual parts of the exercise unit
- Familiarization with the Czech gymnastics terminology of physical exercises and graphic recording of the motion
The aims of the subject (part Rytmic gymnastics) are following:
master the basics of music and movement theory and be able to apply them in practice (rhythm, tempo, beat, counting time, metric impulse)
- learn the meaning of using music in movement activities and sports (development of coordination, social-emotional development, building cooperation of participants in movement activities)
- learn the importance of developing coordination and movement memory
- learn to perceive the quality of movement and learn to give feedback to others
- master basic dance elements, steps, jumps and turns and learn to create short movement sequences
- become theoretically and practically acquainted with individual types of dances (folk, country, street dance)
- learn to apply musical accompaniment to teaching or training units in individual sports and movement activities
- master the basic and more advanced technique of jumping rope exercises by musical accompaniment
- learn to compose simple movement combinations for musical accompaniment
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
- know the list of stretch and strengthen exercises for different muscles of the body
- know the correct execution of these exercises
- form and lead the warm up (without/with accompaniment of music), circuit training, final stretching
