Biomedical Basis of Physiotherapy: Physiology of Physical Exercise 1855-F2-FWF-SJ

The subject is carried out in the form of lectures and exercises.
Lecture
Lectures cover the concepts of classification and energetics of physical effort. The main regulatory mechanisms in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems as a result of physical effort are presented. The lectures present the physiological aspects of the processes of fatigue and rest in sport. The student gets acquainted with the methods of using physiological tests in the control of training effects in selected sports disciplines.
Exercises (tutorials)
The aim of the exercises is to familiarize students with the basic physiological conditions and methods of evaluating the efficiency of athletes. Exercises allow to develop the skills of somatic measurements in the control of training effects and the use of physiological tests in the control of training effects in selected sports disciplines. Students will acquire knowledge of the characteristics of muscle fatigue and adaptive mechanisms occurring in various body systems.
