Annotation -
The course introduces students to diagnostics, measurement and testing. The course is based on the theoretical foundations of the meaning and nature of measurement and testing, and diagnostics is discussed from the perspective of the procedure itself as well as from the perspective of application in the evaluation of physical fitness and physical activity for various population groups. The theoretical basis is followed by an anatomical-kinesiological approach to the description and evaluation of the individual, which defines the scope of assessment on the human body and in functional expression. The area of actual diagnosis begins with 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, and in terms of the parameters measured and their possible interpretation. The following area is posture and postural stability, as one of the areas of diagnosis of static conditions, as well as another area of diagnosis is the objectification and evaluation of the position and movement of the human body by means of kinematic analyses. It is also related to the diagnosis of dynamic manifestations of the human body, the position and movement of the human body, 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, monitoring, evaluation and analysis. The actual area is applicable technology for diagnosis, measurement and testing from a laboratory and field-testing perspective with an emphasis on modern image, position and motion recording technologies including wearable individual electronics. All areas discussed are linked to application procedures for assessing intrinsic and extrinsic loading in athletic performance, with emphasis on developing procedures for training profiles of subjects, describing indicators (qualitative and quantitative), evaluating training status, and developing intervention procedures.

Aim of the course -

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the issues of diagnostics, measurement and testing. The course is designed from the theoretical background of the meaning and essence of measurement and testing. Diagnosis is discussed from the perspective of the procedure itself as well as from the perspective of application in the evaluation of physical fitness and physical activity for different population groups (children, youth, adults, seniors, the medically compromised). The goal of the course is to master the anatomical-kinesiological approach to the description and evaluation of the individual and to be able to identify and implement procedures for the diagnosis of static conditions and dynamic expressions of the human body, position and movement of the human body, internal state and external expression, diagnosis of aerobic fitness, characteristics, principles and options, field testing and laboratory testing, types of tests, test descriptions, standards and applicability. Another objective is to understand the field of human body morphology diagnostics, where body composition diagnostic procedures are defined, both in terms of the procedure used and the parameters measured. An important area of diagnostics is the objectification and evaluation of human body position and movement using kinematic analyses. A follow-up area is the evaluation of muscle activity during different types of muscle contraction. Another area is inverse dynamics and the evaluation of the force expression of the human body during individual movement activities. An important goal is to learn about the area of the body's response to exercise, monitoring, evaluation and analysis, including the area of applicable techniques for diagnosis, measurement and testing from the perspective of laboratory and field testing with an emphasis on modern technologies for image, position and motion recording 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.
