The aim of the course is to introduce students to movement programs in water performed mainly in an upright position in shallow or deep water. An aerobic program of aqua-aerobics, water running, high-intensity interval training, strength training with specialized equipment (e.g. dumbbells, gloves, cuffs, swimming tube) and a stretching and relaxation program (e.g. aqua-yoga, Ai Chi) will be presented. Based on the acquired knowledge and skills, students will be able to create different exercise units of different forms of aqua-aerobics. Students will know the basic and specific forms of aqua-aerobics, the basic nomenclature and breakdown of the training unit, they will master the basic elements of aqua-aerobics and their modifications. Students will acquire a wide range of exercises from which they will create simple exercise sets (choreography) and at the same time develop basic habits for regular physical activity.
