Prerequisites
BOZP_OK(bozp_po_stud) && BOZP_OK(bozp_po_stud_fsps)
The basic prerequisite for the beginning of Physiology studies are:
- Regular enrollment of the subject
- knowledge of the student at the level of biology teaching at high school
- knowledge gained through study in the subject ANATOMY (bp4008).
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
there are 14 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
Course objectives
Teaching Physics is not an end in itself. The subject is thematically oriented so that the basic information about the function of the human body and its organs is presented to the students at the lectures (selected key themes), then discussed in Seminars and practically applied in the Exercise, where the student will actively participate in the realization of specific tasks , exercises and tests and program essays. Part of the Exercise will be the separate elaboration of worksheets.
The course is designed so that the student can understand the basic functions of the human body as a whole, as well as the function of the organs, and understand the mutual interaction of the human organism and the external environment for the maintenance of homeostasis.
Similarly, it will be mentioned how the function of the human organism (and the function of its individual organs) will affect the physical burden, illness, stress,
Students are familiar with differences in the functions of the human body in childhood, adulthood and old age.
Knowledge gained through the study of Physiology will allow students to understand the concepts and processes in the human organism that the student encounters in the next follow-up studies at FSpS. Understand the changes that occur in our organism in individual types of sport, it will know how to focus and individualize the training and regeneration load. The completion of the subject of Physiology is a necessary prerequisite for enrollment of subjects related to further study at FSpS.
Learning outcomes
Successful completion of the subject of Physiology will make it possible to understand the basic principles of homeostasis (ability to stabilize the internal environment of the organism), which are a necessary condition of the body as a whole, as well as its individual organs.
Understand what is happening in the human organism, due to the burden, age, illness, stress,
The knowledge gained will allow you to understand the basic functions of the human body as a whole (system) and the function of the organs.
Graduates of the FSpS have to know the possibilities of adapting, training, loading and regeneration of the organism in childhood, adulthood and old age.
The knowledge gained in this subject will allow students to understand the concepts and processes in the human organism with which the FSpS student will meet in related subjects. Thanks to the knowledge of the body's function, it understands the changes that occur in our body in individual types of sport and will know how to focus and individualize the training and regeneration load.
The completion of the subject of Physiology is a necessary prerequisite for enrollment of subjects related to further study at FSpS.

Teaching methods
A) Lectures of selected topics - as an introduction to study.
B) Exercises and seminars include the theoretical and practical part of the lesson. Prerequisite for participation in the Exercise is the knowledge of basic information about the particular lesson.
C) Self-study of recommended literature
Teaching methods: presentation, discussion, practical measurements, group projects, essay processing, brainstorming. Testing knowledge.
Assessment methods
1) EXPERIENCE: - 2 absences allowed/semester without excuse - further absences must be already excused - Exceptionally, substitution in another semester is possible after discussion with the teachers. In case of an absence, the absence may be made up in a different group - in case of multiple absences and the impossibility to make up the absence is solved individually with the teacher, it has to be solved in advance (competition, training camp, planned surgery, recovery from injury), not at the end of the semester retrospectively!
2) PROTOCOLS: - Develop all protocols that will be assigned by the instructors. - protocols will be submitted and checked on an ongoing basis - all reports must be submitted no later than the last class of the semester - reports can only be returned a maximum of 2 times, everything must be in order no later than 14 days after the end of the semester
3) CLASS ACTIVITIES: - students are actively involved in class - take notes - complete worksheets and logs individually, in pairs or in groups
4) TESTS: - 3 continuous tests: 1st test: muscles, energy systems, metabolism, excretion (week of March 14-17); 2nd test: neuro-hormonal system, thermoregulation (week of April 4-7); 3rd test: cardio-respiratory system, body fluids (week of May 2-6). - Midterm test: 12 questions in total: 8 closed questions (worth 1 point) + 4 open questions (worth 3 points each), min. to be completed at 75%, i.e. 15 pts - to be written in class, 15 min (pencil, paper); max. 1 additional make-up date; students who complete all 3 tests at 75% do not have to write the Credit Test - Credit test: 36 questions in total: 24 closed questions (each worth 1 point) and 12 open questions (each worth 3 points), min. to pass at 75%, i.e. 26 pts - to be written after the end of the semester online; 30 min; max. 3 attempts, i.e. 2 corrections. Credit test is waived for students who have written each of the credit tests to 75%. - Credit Test dates will be announced for the first weeks of the exam period (3 dates).
5) EXAM - FSpS oral exam (grades: A, B, C, D, E, F, -) - Dates announced at least 4 weeks before the start of the examination period - Students must register/check in/out no later than 3 days before the exam - completed Credit Requirements will be written in the Notebook
