Fundamentals of Use of Training Equipment and the Terminology (LSPA_581)

Basic knowledge of anatomy of the human support and motion apparatus, physiological and biochemical processes of physical load, as well as basic principles of biomechanics and kinesiology of human movement are required. The student should be able to identify the main muscle groups and their functions during movement, as well as understand the health effects of physical activity and the basic principles of safe load.Prior to the completion of the study course, the student shall have the following pre-knowledge:Knowledge:on the anatomy of the human support and movement apparatus (main muscle groups, joints, planes and directions of motion);on physiological basics of physical exercise (muscle function, energy supply during load, adaptation of the body to load);on the impact of physical activity on health and basic principles of health-promoting physical activity;on the basic principles of biomechanics and kinesiology of human movement.Skills:identify the main muscle groups and their functions during movement;to recognise and describe basic types of movement in the performance of physical exercises;analyse simple physical activity from the point of view of biomechanics and load effects.Competencies: abilityto apply basic knowledge of human movement and exercise to understand the principles and safety aspects of exercise performance in a fitness environment.
