Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to describe and anchor the issues addressed in the dissertation in the biological context of growth and development, or regression changes in target population groups. Lifestyle changes, the effect of physical activity given by sport specialization on body composition, successful and healthy development in childhood and adolescence, growth trends and patterns, and successful and healthy aging are all conditioned by genetic and epigenetic influences that translate into morphological-functional relationships. Students will learn the methods used in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention to assess the physical aspects of the person. Ergonomic issues related to optimizing the work and non-work environment in relation to physical characteristics are also addressed within morphological-functional relationships. Emphasis is also placed on morphological and functional changes in the area of the musculoskeletal support system and their influence on joint-muscle interplay, specific involvement in muscle chains and optimal performance of specific movement tasks. Understanding biological laws is part of all kinanthropological disciplines, especially with application to clinical, educational and sport kinanthropology. Requirements for the student: professional discussion carried out on the basis of a seminar paper, using professional bibliographic sources. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
