Annotation -
The course builds on the theoretical foundations of PLSM 103 - Sports Diagnostics and introduces students to the issues of diagnostics, measurement and testing. The course builds on the theoretical foundations of the meaning and nature of measurement and testing and focuses on the actual application of diagnostic procedures. The different areas are structured starting from the morphology of the human body, where the diagnostic procedures of body composition are defined, both in terms of the principles and procedures of the different methodologies used, which students must practically master, and in terms of the parameters measured, where students must be able to objectify and interpret the measured data. The follow-up area is posture and postural stability, both one of the areas of diagnosis of static conditions and in the basis of dynamic processes in movement. Students will learn how to operate common diagnostic equipment, apply different types of tests and objectively evaluate measured data. A follow-up area is the measurement of force production of the human body and the inverse dynamics of human-environment interaction with the different force types (isometric, isokinetic, explosive, etc.). Students will master the different methodologies from a procedural and application point of view as well as with the understanding and interpretation of measured data. Another area is the response of the human body to exercise, diagnosis of internal state and external manifestation, diagnosis of aerobic fitness, characteristics, principles and possibilities, field testing and laboratory testing, types of tests, description of tests, standards and applicability. An integral part is the area of evaluated muscle activity during different types of muscle contraction and inverse dynamics and the evaluation of the force expression of the human body during different movement activities. An important area and part is the body's response to exercise load, monitoring, evaluation and analysis possibilities. The areas discussed are linked to application procedures with specific examples from practice and examples of assessment of internal and external loading during sports performance, with emphasis on the development of procedures for training profiles of the subjects under study, descriptions of indicators (qualitative and quantitative), evaluation of training status, development of intervention procedures.

Aim of the course -

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the issues of diagnostics, measurement and testing from a practical perspective. The course is designed as a practical application of the theoretical background acquired in the course PLSM Sports Diagnostics. Therefore, diagnostics is discussed mainly from the perspective of the procedure itself and from the perspective of the application of procedures for the evaluation of an individual's condition, level of physical fitness and physical activity, in a broad scope to different population groups (children, youth, adults, seniors, debilitated, recreational athletes, elite athletes, etc.). The goal of the course is to master the application and implementation of an appropriate approach to the description and evaluation of the individual and the ability to identify and implement procedures for the diagnosis of static conditions and dynamic expressions of the human body, human body position and movement, internal condition and external expression, aerobic fitness diagnosis, characteristics, principles and options, field testing and laboratory testing, types of tests, test descriptions, standards and applicability. Another goal is to understand, apply and implement appropriate diagnostics of human body morphology, using body composition diagnostic procedures, both in terms of the procedure used and the parameters measured. An important goal is to master the field of objectification and assessment of human body position and movement using kinematic analyses, from the simplest procedures (video analysis) to online 3D systems. Another objective is the area of muscle activity assessment during different types of muscle contraction and the area of inverse dynamics of the human body force expression during different movement activities. An important goal is to learn about the area of the body's response to exercise, monitoring, assessment and analysis, where the area of applicable techniques for diagnosis, measurement and testing from the perspective of laboratory and field testing with an emphasis on modern image, position and motion recording technologies including wearable individual electronics. All areas discussed are linked to application procedures for the assessment of internal and external loading in sport performance, with an emphasis on the development of procedures for training profiles of subjects, descriptions of indicators (qualitative and quantitative), evaluation of training status, development of intervention procedures.
