Learning outcomes
The course is focuced on comprehensive knowledge on human motor control, learning and performance. The course also covers theoretical and practical acquiring of the methods for assessment of perception and cognitive functions and skills responsible for performing a movement action. Throughout the course the student also learns about methodological approaches to the assessment of motor capacities/skills and research on human motor skills. Information about this course was translated to English within the project Internationalization of the Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacký University, Olomouc, No. CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0028, co-funded by the European Social Fund and the Government of the Czech Republic.
Upon completion of the course the student: - is able to explain the physiological and mental phenomena associated with human skilled performance; - understands the principles and concepts of motor learning; - is able to apply the knowledge of motor control, motor performance and motor learning in addressing problems in a physical education, sport and physical activities in leisure time; - knows the basic methodological approaches to the research on motor performance and learning; - understands assessment of perception and cognitive functions/skills participating in motor control.
