1.20. To perform mechanical and biomechanical analysis of human movements, physical exercises 21. To choose physical exercises to improve human physical fitness or to ensure health, justify this choice 22. To justify the conditions for performing physical exercises depending on the person's age, gender, level of physical fitness 23. To evaluate physical exercise impact on the human body and its functions, muscle system 24. Choose physical exercises and justify this choice, for developing the strength properties of different muscle groups 25. Assess the injury risk of physical exercises, explain the causes of injuries and preventive measures 26. Assess the level of physical fitness of a person, justify the use of exercises characteristics of people of different age, gender and training 27. Assess human posture, take measures to improve static and dynamic posture 28. Assess human balancing abilities, take measures to improve balance.
1.29. Understand and explain mechanical and biological processes in living systems 30. Perform mechanical and biomechanical analysis of movements 31. Determine the effect of physical exercises on the support movement system 32. Knowing the mechanical and biomechanical properties of biological materials and tissues, be able to assess the injury risk of physical exercises 33. Justify the physical the biomechanical conditions of choosing and performing exercises, taking into account the characteristics of human age, gender and physical fitness 34. Assessing muscle contraction modes while performing physical exercises of various types 35. Explaining and discussing the issues of movement management, assessing the age of human movements, individualizing the choice of physical exercises 36. Knowing the general principles of human motor skills, one is able to match the choice of physical exercises with the critical periods of motor development 37. To justify the choice of physical exercises and the conditions of performance for the improvement of strength, speed, endurance, etc., physical characteristics 38. To connect the learned theory with movement analysis, human physical development and health disorders prevention practices 39. Analytical evaluate issues related to human age, gender, health, physical fitness and movement execution technique, discuss them based on sports biomechanics knowledge 40. Use learned theory and skills when solving professional issues related to sports.
