Learning outcomes
The course focuses on the biomechanical properties of the individual subsystems of the human body and the basic mechanisms that are necessary for the execution of movement. The basic areas that can be addressed within this subject: Model of the human body, mechanical and biological aspects. Human body system, individual subsystems, elements of the locomotor system, their interrelations. Biomechanical properties of tissues. Physiological and pathological determinants and limits of load. Biomechanical principles of prevention of damage to the musculoskeletal system, injury occurrence and subsequent treatment. Possibilities of using the biomechanics of the human locomotor system to solve the problems of the dissertation. Based on the issues addressed in the dissertation and taking into account the areas of interest of the students, these topics can be further modified.
