| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | During the course, students develop their understanding and gain practical experience in adventure sports and activities. Independently carry out research work on a chosen adventure sport or activity. Criteria for assessment of independent work: topicality of the topic; fulfilment of work requirements; in-depth research of the topic; presentation. Attend an adventure sport event independently (spectator or participant) and present a free-form presentation during 3-5min. Learn the rules and exercises of sports games, their application, techniques for improving the elements of technique, developing physical abilities according to the literature indicated by the lecturer and independently acquired sources. Prepares exercises for learning the basic elements, improvement and presents them to the group. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Students' active participation in practical classes (30%), written work at the end of the course (20%), presentation of their independent research work (20%), questions on the topics covered in class and game rules in an electronic test (10%), presentation of exercises to learn the basic elements and improve them (20%). | ||||||||
| Final Examination (Full-Time): | Exam | ||||||||
| Final Examination (Part-Time): | Exam | ||||||||
| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | As a result of the course, students will: Students will be able to distinguish and recognise adventure sports and their definition; identify the basic concepts and effects of adventure sports and activities on physical and mental health; know the rules of these sports; understand the role of these sports in improving health; have mastered the basic exercises for learning the technical elements of the sports games taught; can name the basic technical elements of the sports games taught; can explain the basic techniques of the sports games taught; will be able to use the sports games and exercises of the sports games to develop their physical abilities. | ||||||||
| Skills: | As a result of the study course students will be able to: use the acquired knowledge in practice by participating in extreme sports and outdoor activities; apply elements of extreme sports and outdoor activities in their practice; use and apply various exercises to learn the basics of sports game technique; apply sports games in their daily activities, strengthening health and developing physical abilities; select and apply appropriate elements of technique in game situations; apply learned sports game rules in game conditions; work in a team and promote socialisation. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | Using the acquired knowledge and skills, students will be able to critically assess the suitability of activities for the client, the patient's abilities and potential risks. They will also be able to adapt physical exercises to the sport or activity. On the basis of practical and theoretical knowledge and experience, they will be able to apply sports games for health promotion, appropriate exercises for learning the elements of technique and developing physical abilities when working with their clients, use the appropriate elements of technique in game situations and know the rules. | ||||||||
