Practical Sports Physiology and Assessment of Physical Performance (LSPA_626)
About Study Course
Objective
To provide in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge about the physiological response and adaptation mechanisms of the human body during physical exertion. To develop skills to assess an individual's physical performance using various physiological, biochemical and anthropometric methods, as well as to create individualized exercise and recovery strategies.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge in the physiology and biochemistry of skeletal muscle, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Learning outcomes
1.Explains the functioning of skeletal muscle, cardiovascular and respiratory systems at rest and during physical exertion, based on the physiological and biochemical processes occurring in the body.
1.Application of knowledge - ability to:
• analyse functional capability assessment tests (e.g. VO ₂ max, submax, EMG, ECG, spirometry) based on physiological and biochemical processes in the body;
• interpret the results of gas exchange (ventilation thresholds VT1, VT2), lactate (LT1, LT2) and biochemical markers (hormones, enzymes);
• assess body composition by different methods (calypometry, bioimpedance, DEXA)
• detect peace metobolism and apply RED-S diagnostic tools;
• apply performance monitoring techniques to everyday work;
• evaluate and apply recovery strategies in the exercise process.
1.Integrates knowledge of physiological and biochemical processes, explaining individual functional capacity and physical performance assessment tests, according to age and gender.
