Description:
2.1.Course objectives
Acquisition of the basic theoretical knowledge that will enable students to plan programmes of preventive exercises for athletes of different ages, gender, and sports discipline.
2.2.Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course
No enrolment requirements.
2.3.Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes
Students will be able to choose methods and programmes of preventive training. These methods and programmes wil be applied mostly in individual training programmes and programmes with homogeneous groups. After passing the exam, students will be able to plan, realize, and control such trainings.
2.4.Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes)
-Enablig students to recognize the risk factors and injury mechanisms in sport.
-Enabling students to choose methods and programmes of preventive training.
-Enabling students to conduct and monitor preventive trainings - individual trainings or trainings with homogeneous groups. This especially concerns knowledge and skills that will prepare the athletes to avoid injuries in urgent situations (anticipation and solutions in dangerous situations, speed of reactions and techniques of voluntary and involuntary landings).
-Enabling students for further research of the area of sports injury prevention and for the systematic implementation of new findings in the sports practice.
2.5.Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus)
Lectures (2 lecture hours for each teaching topic, except for the topic no. 1, which is taught during 1 lecture hour)
1.Global system of sports injury prevention (4 steps).
2.Sports injuries and overuse syndromes.
3.Sports injury epidemiology (frequency, types and importance, identification of problems by sports).
4.Risk factors and injury mechanisms in sports injuries.
5.Athletes recovery.
6.Diagnostics in prevention of sports injuries.
7.Methodics and programming of the training in prevention of sports injuries.
8.Physical conditioning in prevention of sports injuries.

Seminar (2 seminar hours for each teaching topic, except for the topic no. 7, which is taught during 3 seminar hours)
1.Strength training in prevention of sports injuries.
2.Training of explosive jumping strength and speed in prevention of sports injuries.
3.Development of proprioception and balance (postural control) in prevention of sports injuries.
4.Stretching exercises in prevention of sports injuries.
5.Complex neuroma. Circular training in prevention of sports injuries.
6.Training in children and youth in prevention of sports injuries.
7.Analysis of effects of the preventive exercise programme - scientific basis.
Injury prevention system in high performance sport consists of preventive diagnostics of the athletes status, development and preservation of physical capabilities, learning and perfecting motor skills, long-term sport preparation (with consistent respect of the training principles and acquisition of integral preparedness), the use of ergogenic aids. The contents of the elective course Sports injury prevention include procedures of the preventive diagnostics of the athletes status, consisting of procedures such as medical examinations, biochemical diagnostics, posturography, pedobarography, isokinetic diagnostics, and neuromuscular analysis. Preventive diagnostics represents the basis for planning of the programmes of sports injury prevention. The components of the preventive training are: muscle tissue improvement, improvement (strengthening) of connective tissue, development of flexibility and proprioceptive training. By muscle tissue improvement the possibilitiy of muscle injuries can be diminished, and, at the same time, athletes motor abilities can be improved. The purpose is optimal development of the muscle regions that contribute maximally to the performance in specific sports.
Connective tissue can be improved by aplication of high and dynamic loads and training stimulus of low intensity and longer duration, with the purpose of capillarization of connective tissue and stimulation of collagen metabolism and improvement of joint cartilage, which is the basic precondition for sports injury prevention. The benefits of improvement of flexibility, beside the increase in the range of motion, include prevention of muscle soreness after training and decrease of the number and severity of injuries. This enhances the protection of athletes against potential danger from injuries. Proprioceptive training: engaging the athletes body in a number of training situations that provoke proprioceptor activation, creates precondition for the athlete to react optimally in eventual urgent situations potentially leading to injury.
