Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to help students gain general insight into lifestyle sport activities. Lower degree of formal organization and accent on individuality and free style of movement appeal to postmodern youth. Their culture is also believed to be more inclusive than that of some highly competitive sports which may be encouraging for people with disabilities. The theoretical lessons are accompanied by practical introductions to climbing, bouldering, parkour, BMX and mountain biking, scootering, skateboarding, slackline, and rafting. The course is concluded by a four days' camp.
Students understand the specifics of lifestyle sports. Students know the research areas and can use some methods in lifestyle sports. Students can focus on community strengths and resilience and use this ability. Students perceive lifestyle sport activities as a vehicle for supporting social inclusion and have interest to follow this knowledge.
