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.
