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.
