Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide the students with a more comprehensive insight into the principles and mechanisms of human movement and more complex motor behaviour upon interaction with the environment, specifically in the context of sports activities. The course is based on the current theories of human motor control/motor action and theoretical concepts of motor performance in sports. The course also covers basic methodological principles of research on sport-specific motor performance.
The student - is able to explain the functional principle of motor performance in the sports. - is able to analyse the role of perception and cognitive processes in controlling various types of sport performance, - understands the principles and methods of training of sport-specific visual perception skills and cognitive skills, - is able to choose, prepare and administer a test of sport-related specific perception and cognitive capacities of an individual.
