The core focus of this course lies in developing competencies related to the leadership and organization of various gymnastic exercises with a diverse range of orientations. These exercises encompass learning a broad spectrum of fundamental gymnastic skills and methodological principles for enhancing motor abilities in gymnastics. The course culminates in the integration of motor skill development and learning specific gymnastic skills, thus enabling students to apply strengthening, supporting, hanging, rotational, rebounding, and landing sub-preparations from gymnastic motor-functional preparation into their specialization in coaching. Additionally, Basic Gymnastics offers a rich reservoir of exercises found in various gymnastic activities. These exercises can be applied to other physical interventions not directly related to gymnastic activities. Lastly, the course incorporates fundamental theoretical knowledge concerning body posture and the biomechanics of physical exercises, which are directly applicable in the practical context of gymnastic activities. Overall, the course aims to equip students with a comprehensive skill set and knowledge base, enabling them to effectively lead and organize gymnastic exercises, understand gymnastic principles, and apply these competencies in various contexts, including coaching.

Last update: PhDr. Adam Zdobinský (15.09.2023)

The objective of this course is to teach students how to lead and organize warm-up exercises in the field of gymnastic activities while equipping them with a diverse range of exercises that can be modified for use in various other sports disciplines.

Upon completing the course, students will possess the following competencies:

Leading and Organizing Warm-up Exercises: Students will be adept at organizing and leading warm-up exercises effectively in larger groups, utilizing music and equipment in the context of coaching and working with clients.

Preparation of Intervention Programs: Students will be fully competent in preparing written documentation for intervention exercise programs, including the creation of warm-up protocols.

Mastery of Professional Terminology: Students will have a command of both Czech and English terminology related to exercises, whether with or without equipment. They will be able to apply this terminology effectively in practice.

Fundamental Gymnastic Skills: Students will possess basic gymnastic skills, particularly in floor exercises. They will also have a grasp of fundamental exercises involving gymnastic apparatus within the context of gymnastic motor-functional (acrobatic) preparation.

Analysis of Body Posture: Students will be capable of analyzing correct body posture and identifying deviations from proper body alignment. They will provide constructive feedback when implementing individual exercises in practice.
