Teaching methods

The course is an online course that the student can complete independently, with tasks paced throughout the duration of the course. The student also participates in peer assessment during the course.

Studies on the course take place in the Moodle learning environment, which will be accessible to the student starting from March 3 at 8:00 AM.

The course will be open to the student from March 3 to May 25, 2025, until 10:00 PM. Tasks submitted late will not be considered in the assessment.

Student workload

The student's use of time in the course is (5 x 27h = 135h)

Evaluation scale

1-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student partially demonstrates understanding of the significance of exercise in the rehabilitation of common heart diseases and in promoting the patient's well-being and health. The student interprets and can only explain partially extent the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in cardiac patient rehabilitation. Evaluation of exercise rehabilitation models and programs, as well as applications of technological solutions for cardiac patients, is done to a limited extent by the student. Some application of current research findings in cardiac patient rehabilitation is shown by the student. The ability to develop and evaluate solutions for implementing physical cardiac rehabilitation based on theoretical knowledge is only partial.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The student possesses knowledge of the importance of exercise in the rehabilitation of common heart diseases and in promoting the patient's well-being and health. The student interprets and partially explains the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in cardiac patient rehabilitation. Evaluation of exercise rehabilitation models and programs, as well as applications of technological solutions for cardiac patients, is conducted by the student. Application of current research findings in cardiac patient rehabilitation is demonstrated by the student. The student can develop and evaluate solutions for implementing physical heart rehabilitation based on theoretical knowledge.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student demonstrates comprehensive knowledge of the significance of exercise in the rehabilitation of common heart diseases, as well as in promoting the patient's well-being and health. The student interprets and can articulate in-depth the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in cardiac patient rehabilitation. Can critical evaluation of exercise rehabilitation models and programs tailored for cardiac patients, as well as applications of technological solutions, is performed by the student. Consistently applying up-to-date research findings in cardiac patient rehabilitation is within the student's capability. The student can develop and evaluate innovative solutions for implementing physical cardiac rehabilitation based on theoretical knowledge.
