| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | Students will be able to name and describe human movement-support system structure that provides separate segments as well as the whole body stability and mobility, will be able to describe the importance of motion and static postures retaining. | ||||||||
| Skills: | Students will be able to practically assess joints movements and analyze involved muscle, will be able assess and analyze the specific static and dynamic basic postures, will be able to apply the valuation and analysis skills in various physical activities analysis. Recognize and describe the posture and gait characteristics of a given situation. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | Students will be able to analyze the movement of the support systems of various structures and activity during physical exercise. | ||||||||
