Annotation -
The subject of the Physiology of physical exercises (physiology of physical load) focuses on the acute response of the organism to the load and long-term adaptation processes of human organism systems (with particular regard to the period of childhood). It provides basic information about the functional and energy demands of various types of physical activities and the influence of physical education on the development of the human body. In the lectures, students will acquire a theoretical background for understanding the organism's functioning under load to successfully lead PE lessons or training sessions to the set goal. During practical seminars, students will try out the possibilities of testing the athlete's (pupils’) performance in school conditions and the organism's response to various physical stimuli. Students should learn to put the acquired theoretical knowledge into practice. The written exam will be preceded by fulfilling the credit requirements – presenting the processed topic in the Physiology of physical exercises.

Learning outcomes - Czech

Studující identifikuje akutní odezvy organismu na zatížení včetně dlouhodobých adaptačních procesů jednotlivých systémů lidského organismu (se zvláštním zřetelem na období dětského věku). Určí energetickou náročnost různých typů pohybových aktivit a jejich vliv na lidský organismus. Využívá teoretické podklady pro při vedení hodin Tv nebo tréninkových jednotek. Realizuje testování výkonnosti svěřenců (žáků) ve školních podmínkách, odezvu organismu na různé fyzické podněty. Studující hodnotí výsledky testování a interpretuje je do praxe.
