Annotation - Czech
In this bachelor course, students meet with the basic terminology and principles in human motor development applied in physical education and sport. Motor development is, therefore, present from both phylogeny and ontogeny perspectives. The terminology milestone with deeper description represents motor abilities, motor skills, somatic typology and biological maturation. Students will acquire, at least theoretically, the relevant diagnostic approaches to each of these constructs.

Aim of the course

The aim of the course is to acquire basic knowledge in the field of motor abilities, motor skills, somatometry and motor development including diagnostics and data processing.

The student is competent upon completion of the course:

  • Understand the terminology of motor aptitude, testing and measurement and somatotyping and actively use it in the educational and training process,
  • select and use appropriate tools for motor aptitude diagnosis and testing; identify problems that may arise in motor aptitude diagnosis and testing,
  • statistically process the measured data and interpret them,
  • determine and interpret a motor profile,
  • determine the somatotype and evaluate it,
  • apply laterality issues in the educational and training process,
  • understand the differences between biological and calendar age and be able to evaluate motor expressions based on biological age.

Syllabus - Czech

Obsah výuky:
Lectures
1. The introdcution to basic of Anthropomotorics, constructs of motorics, phylogeny
2. Phylogeny and ontogeny of motorics, kinesiology development - rudimentary movements
3. Motor abilities structure of physical fitness commonly used tests
4. PF tests: strength, endurance the capacity tests examples for field testing
5. PF tests: agility and speed hybrid PF tests examples for field testing
6. Fundamental movement skills and specific motor skills
7. Somatic development and biological maturation approaches for practice

Practical courses
1. Development of human locomotion discussion above the same archetypal movement patterns
2. Developmental kinesiology - rudimentary movements chains its role in verticalization

3. Tests for assessing the PF, discussion above the structure factor analysis in PF
4. Tests for assessing the components of human strength and endurance focus on children, norms, cultural similarities or differences
5. Tests for assessing agility and speed focus on children, norms, cultural similarities or differences
6. Performance tests for assessing the fundamental movement skills or specific motor skill field test batteries
7. Process of somatotype measurement, determination of biological maturation level, its role in sport, methods - X-ray, indirect anthropometry methods
