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 operation of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory and muscular systems at rest and during exercise based on physiological and biochemical processes 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.Integrate knowledge of physiological and biochemical processes by explaining tests for assessing an individual’s functional abilities, according to age and gender.
