Course content
Knowledge of theoretical principles of exercise physiology and pathophysiology (methods, indications, contraindications and interpretation of functional exercise test - exercise electrocardiography, spiroergometry, hand grip test, frequency analysis, out-patient 24-hour monitoring of BP and ECG) including risks sof possible complications, and knowledge of clinical application of results. The student should examine a patient with respect to detection of the most common functional disorders of motor systém (muscle dysbalance, hypermobility) and be familiar with possible compensation of these disorders. Practical skills in antidoping fighting. To prescribe a dietary regiment in athlets. Basic principles of balneotherapy.

Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Work with Text (with Book, Textbook), Demonstration
Learning outcomes
The student should be introduced to the theoretical foundations of physiology and pathophysiology of exercise, incl. risks of possible complications and knowledge of the clinical application of the results. The student should be able to independently perform a patient examination in terms of detecting the most common functional disorders of the locomotor and cardiorespiratory system and be instructed on the possibilities of compensation for these disorders. The student will learn the basic principles of physical activity prescription for the most common diseases. They will also expand their knowledge of nutrition in health and illness and the basic principles of combating doping. Part of the subject is a basic introduction to the principles of scientific balneology, including practical indications for various diseases.
