Objective

The Student is able to

- recognize the importance of health and its components in promoting human well-being and health.

Teaching methods

In the course, studying takes place independently, in small group work and as seminar work:
- Lectures
- Advance assignments and lesson assignments for study lessons
- Practical exercises and study visits
- Seminar work

Student workload

The course is a 5 credits, which means 135 hours of student work. The study includes theory lectures and small group work, as well as seminar work. Practical exercises and study visits.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Student

- insufficiently recognizes the importance of health and its components in promoting human well-being and health.
- insufficiently explains the components of physical fitness and how different loads affect the functioning of the body
- doesn't know how to choose different methods for measuring different parts of fitness and can draw conclusions from measurement results poorly.
- knows how to mechanically and superficially test different aspects of health as part of promoting the client's health and performance.
- can barely explain the structural and functional division of the nervous system and its tasks
- can incompletely explain the function of the neuromuscular system and the mechanism of muscle contraction

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Student

- can broadly recognize the importance of health and its components in promoting human well-being and health.
- partially explains the components of physical condition and how different loads affect the functioning of the body
- can partially choose different methods for measuring different parts of fitness and partially draw conclusions from the measurement results.
- partially uses the testing of different aspects of health as part of promoting the client's health and performance.
- explains in outline the structural and functional division of the nervous system and its tasks
- partially explains the function of the neuromuscular system and the mechanism of muscle contraction
