Applied Sports Education of Security Bodies is a follow-up Master’s study with an initiative to prepare qualified, university-educated specialists in the field of personal security and special physical training and applied sports education at security bodies. The study mainly focuses on the professional self-defence.

After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:

• explain the theory of sports activities in security bodies, can demonstrate, analyse and evaluate individual sports skills, create a training plan and lead the training;
• apply attained knowledge from the field of special didactics (supplemented by a specific part of adult education) to gain the competence of the instructor;
• naturally (without thinking) apply practical skills in model self-defence situations, to combine partial movements, to change the move structure so as to solve the given motion problem;
• accept the moral outcomes of self-defence, respect valid legal norms, and clearly distinguish between social and personal needs;
• apply knowledge of the methodology of kinanthropological research in a research project, analyse the acquired data, summarize them and draw general conclusions.

Graduates will be employed as university-educated specialists in the field of continuing education management and special physical training in security bodies. Moreover, they may find employment as instructors. The Labour Market will offer graduates a wide range of applications in public and state administration, security companies, security companies, judicial guard, correctional institutions, airports and railways protection, but also in the Police of the Czech Republic, municipal police, and other security bodies.

A mandatory part of the study program is a total of 150/6 ECTS divided into two units.
