Learning outcomes
|
The aim is to get basic knowledge of biophysics with an emphasis on the explanation of the effects of physical factors on the human body and biophysical principles of diagnostic and therapeutic devices. Information about this course was translated to English within the project Internationalization of the Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacký University, Olomouc, No. CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0028, co-funded by the European Social Fund and the Government of the Czech Republic.
The student has a basic theoretical overview in the area of biophysics, and can define basic concepts and describe main approaches. The student can describe physical principles of diagnostic and therapeutic devices used in own study specialization.
