Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the possibilities of using knowledge of human biomechanics in physical education and sports. During the lectures, selected topics from the biomechanics of human locomotion and biomechanics of tissues will be explained. Furthermore, students will be introduced to experimental methods of biomechanics from both a theoretical and a practical point of view. The exercises will be focused on the application of the acquired knowledge to the analysis of selected movement activities, especially on the optimization of human movement from the point of view of technical design, health risks and technological security.
Student will be able to define the key points and the most frequently faults in sport activities from the biomechanical point of view.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of secondary school mathematics and physics. Knowledge of the course Fundamentals of Biomechanics (ZBIE).

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral exam, Written exam, Oral presentation of self-study

Active participation in lessons (at least 75 %), preparation and presentation of a semester paper, written test, oral exam.
