Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
Study courses mastered: Teacher’s Professional Skills, Teaching and Learning in the Context of Diversity, Educational Psychology for Teachers, Human Anatomy, Pedagogical Foundations in Adapted Physical Activities, Student-Centred Approach in Adapted Physical Activities, Assessment Methods in Adapted Physical Activities, Content of Adapted Physical Activity Programmes and/or Adapted Physical Activities for Students with Mental Development Disorders, APA for Students with Sensory Development Disorders, APA for Students with Behavioural, Learning Disorders and Autism.
Objective:
To acquire deep knowledge of human body movement analysis, including motor and locomotor movement analysis, by determining the movement phases, muscles and joints that participate in execution of movements.

Assessment
Unaided Work:
Preparation for test work on dynamic anatomy of basic human movements and a test at the end of the study course. To prepare and write a report on movement analysis and the included basic movements in the selected type of physical activity. 
Assessment Criteria:
The knowledge and competences of students are assessed in one written test work (dynamic anatomy of basic human movements). Skills and competences are assessed after preparation of a presentation on movement analysis, including basic movements, in the selected athletic discipline and an test at the end of the study course. When the study course is over, a differentiated assessment is provided based on the sum of points obtained without an additional examination. Summative assessment of knowledge and competences in test work. The student is given the opportunity to improve the previously obtained assessment once, even if it he/she passed. Failing grades (below 4) must be improved. Preparation and defense of a PowerPoint presentation on movement analysis of a chosen sport during the lesson (skills and competences).
Final Examination (Full-Time):Exam
Final Examination (Part-Time):Exam
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:About the dynamic anatomy of basic human movements (movement phases, muscles and joints participating in the execution of movements).
Skills:To perform exercises and name the joints and muscles that are involved.
Competencies:To analyse muscle function in different movements – which joints, which muscles work and in what order in different motor and locomotor movements.
