Annotation
The subject deals with both acute and chronic adaptation processes of individual organ systems of the human organism caused by physical loads. Basic information is provided on exogeneous and endogeneous factors influencing these adaptive processes.
Students are also informed on functional and energy demands of various types of motional activity, physiological principles od sports training methods and use of exercise diagnoistics in the sports preparation.
