Information on the combined form:

The course is taught in a combined form of contact and non-contact teaching in a ratio of about 1:4, i.e. 40 hours distance learning, 10 hours full-time per semester.

The teaching consists of a theoretical part dealing with the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement and the practical application of this knowledge in the context of pedagogical activities. Emphasis is placed on the study of motor skills, mechanical aspects of movement and the body's response to physical activity. The main topic of kinesiological research is generally the biomechanics of the human body.

The aim of the study

Kinesiology develops the acquired knowledge in the functional aspects of the anatomical structure of the musculoskeletal system. The student understands kinesiological relationships at local and global levels. The student gains knowledge of individual kinesiological patterns and relationships in the context of the whole body and in individual body segments. The course leads to knowledge and understanding of movement patterns, passive and active stability factors.

Thematic areas:

Introduction to kinesiology
Biomechanical principles

Kinesiology of the spine

Anatomy
structure
function
spine in motion
prevention
recommendations for dancers....
Pelvic and center kinesiology (core, power house)
anatomy

function
pelvis and centre in motion
Kinesiology of the lower limb

prevention
Knee: structure function and prevention
the foot as a foundation: structure, function, anatomy and prevention

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student is able to analyze movement (muscle involvement, functionality, structure, dysfunction).

Evaluation methods and criteria

Processing of assigned tasks during the course, credit test with a minimum score of 75%.

Other requirements: attendance of at least 80%, activity in class

Note

The course combines monological, applied and interactive teaching methods, and encourages self-study and critical thinking.

Contact in distance form will be provided:

telephone, email, video calls
through group platforms for communication between students (social networks, internet, apps, moodle, etc.)

Independent work of the student within the contactless learning consists of:

application of specific methodological knowledge in their own pedagogical practice
analysing and reflecting on the movement dispositions and flexibilities of different joint systems in dance students in their own teaching practice or during visits to dance institutions
studying the required and recommended literature as a basis for critical discussion
preparation for individual topics discussed in the form of anatomical drawings

During self-study, the student prepares drawings of anatomical structures that will be discussed in the current lecture block - based on the given thematic areas.

The student prepares a presentation of examples of practical application of the given topics, creates a basis for critical discussion and consultation with the teacher based on the studied literature on the given topics.
