Annotation -
Physical performance diagnostics or exercise diagnostics deals with measuring and evaluating the response of <br>
the human body to different types of exercise. Students will learn to perform stress tests such as spiroergometry, <br>
lactate test (on a cycle or running ergometer), Wingate test, Bruce test, Balke protocol or dynamometry of different <br>
muscle parts. The aim of the course will be to deepen understanding of the body's physiological responses to <br>
exercise, to gain key knowledge for effective diagnosis of fitness and exercise tolerance, and to gain real-world, <br>
practical skills to implement fitness assessments. This knowledge can be applied not only to the planning of <br>
training programs to improve physical performance, but also to the assessment of patients' ability to undergo <br>
major surgical procedures.<br>
NOTICE: this course is taught only in the winter semester of the academic year
