2.1.Course objectives
The course has two basic goals. The first goal is to enable students to acquire fundamental theoretical knowledge of influence of physical activity on health and of its role in primary prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases, as well as knowledge of type and intensity, duration and frequency of physical activity necessary for prevention of different chronic diseases (dose-response effect). The second goal of the course is to enable students to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of physical activity promotion. Knowledge of components of strategies for physical activity promotion, types of interventions for physical activity promotion and effectiveness of these interventions will be acquired. Finally, through practical examples, practical knowledge necessary for implementation of physical activity promotion in schools, sports clubs, sports-recreation centres, companies (workplace), retirement homes, etc, will be acquired.
2.2. Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course
Completed: Functional Anatomy, Basic Kinesiological Transformations, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Biological Kinanthropology.
2.3. Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes
Construction of a plan and programme for physical fitness promotion (school, sports-recreation centres, companies (work place), retirement homes, sports clubs, etc.).
Organization of professional work (school, sports-recreation centres, companies (workplace), retirement homes, sports clubs,etc.).
Promotion of physical activity as an important component of healthy lifestyle.
2.4. Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes)
Students will be able to:
- understand the role of physical activity in health protection and promotion,
- understand determinants of physical activity in different populations,
- assure requirements for safe and healthy physical exercise,
- apply methods for measurement and assessment of physical activity,
- compose intervention programmes for physical activity promotion,
- work in team in construction of strategies for physical activity promotion.
