University's Exclusive Courses: Kinesiology 1855-F1-K-SJ

The subject consists of lectures and tutorials. The main aim of the lectures is to explain the basic concepts of human body movement. During the tutorials students learn to describe the passive and active joints’ mobility in quantitative and qualitative aspect. They learn the mechanisms of movement control and maintain of posture
