Unaided Work:
In semester 1, full-time and part-time students acquire knowledge and practical skills and abilities in the use of exercises for warming up, strengthening and toning muscles. In semester 1, the student designs and prepares a set of exercises, describes the exercises (+ illustrate), according to exercise terminology. Consecutively arranges the exercises in the complex, according to a certain basic part of the exercise, warming up or strengthening exercises. Dosage, methodological instructions, breathing. In semester 2 for full-time students and semester 8 for part-time students - prepare exercises for different muscle groups using exercise equipment. Describe, according to gymnastics terminology (+ illustrate), dosage, methodological instructions, exercise variations, breathing. 3rd semester full-time students - Acquire knowledge and practical skills in the development and management of an exercise complex.
