Subject introducing Kinesiology as a science, describes components and structures of the locomotor apparatus from kinesiology point of view and applies holistic view on function and organization of the human body. Course also contains fundamentals of postural and dynamic function of locomotor apparatus, gait analysis, evaluation of the basic movement pattern and developmental kinesiology. Subject is recommended especially for ERASMUS students and is fundamental for subject Sports Kinesiology PABA653.

The aim is to provide students of physiotherapy, sports or technical science with basic terminology and knowledge of kinesiology, necessary in performing independent decision in their profession and collaboration with associate professionals. Teacher will explain, based on functional, anatomical and biomechanical principles, function of human locomotor apparatus from kinesiology point of view.

Credit Requirements: Essay
Type: “critical review” - presuppose presentation of student personal critical ideas over sources

Goal: Students have to find in scientific databases three scientific papers on chosen topic published in scientific journals. Recommended are kinesiology journals with high impact factor and papers published within last 5 years. Sources as webpages and books are prohibited.

Contents:

A. Short summary of papers with respect to critical discussion

B. Discussion (most important part) – comparison of used method, experiment protocols, evaluation of results and conclusions over the sources

C. Conclusion – short, personal opinion and key points of “critical review”

D. List of references in format ISO 690. All sources should be correctly cited in the text. Paper fulltexts or links, where the fulltext are available, have to be sent as attachment for control.

Extent: 2 pages A4 max.

Term of submission: students will be available start write essay during semester, after choosing topic and receiving all needed detail information. Students can free consult suitability of sources and send essay concept during semester. Final version should be received in credit week. Later delivery will be classified as FAILD.

1. Kinesiology (history, basic concepts, focus of kinesiology, kinesiology method, kinesiology vs. applied kinesiology, anatomy, biomechanics)

2. Holism - holistic nature of kinesiology (human body organization from kinesiology point of view - muscles, logistics system)

3. Movement analysis from kinesiology point of view – principles and method, comparison with biomechanics approach

4. Neuromotor complexity and control: muscle structure, mechanism of muscle contraction, motor unit, neuron and its functions, afferent neurons classification, synapse, inhibition, meaning of cerebellum, basal ganglion, thalamus and cortex for motor control, motor learning: motor program

5. Neuromuscular basis of human movement: sensory receptors classification, intrafusal fibers, extrafusal fibers, Golgi tendon organ, monosynaptic reflex loop, multisynaptic reflex loop, model of reciprocal inhibition, gama-system

6. Posture: normal body statics, disturbed body statics, diagnostic criteria, postural muscles, visual criteria of dysfunction of individual muscles (gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, tensor fascie latae, piriformis, quadratus lumborum, rectus abdominis, upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, iliopsoas), postural stability, postural stabilization, postural reactibility
