Course content
1.Definition of the field of kinesiology - introduction to the subject of the studied course. 2.Basic functional and morphological properties of binders. 3.Basic functional and morphological properties of cartilage - detailed information on joint cartilage. 4.Basic functional and morphological properties of bone tissue - detailed description of individual parts of long bones (fusion, apophysis, epiphysis) including the importance of mechanical factors in bone remodelling. 5.Basic functional and morphological properties of the synovial joint - division of joints; basic arthrokinematics; definition of CPP and LPP positions in the joint. 6.Basic functional and morphological properties of muscle tissue - types of muscle fibres; muscle connective elements; detailed information about the muscle spine; active / passive muscle insufficiency. 7.Basic functional and morphological properties of the intervertebral disc - the components of the disc and their different mechanical properties; structural changes to the disc and surrounding tissues depending on age. 8.Basic functional significance of proprioception - definition of proprioceptive organs and their contribution to motor control skills in physiological conditions. The total hours for the course is 54, of which in-person classes 30 and home-prep classes 24.
