Sylabus
1. Introduction to testing and measurement - the nature and importance of testing and measurement, the objectives of measurement, testing and evaluation. Areas of human motor expression testing.
2. Testing theory - classical model of testing theory, definition of variables (dependent and independent variable), operationalization of variables (theoretical concept). Diagnostic properties of test and batteries, definition of diagnostic properties of test (validity, reliability, objectivity, difficulty, length, time, homogeneity, consistency), descriptive statistics and data distribution.
3. Basic descriptive statistics; measures of position of results on a scale (measures of central tendency), measures of variability of results - variance and standard deviation, norms, norming of results (percentiles, z-scores, T-scores), correlation and prediction, correlation coefficient, definition, calculation, use, prediction (predictor and predicted), simple linear regression.
4. Theoretical foundations of fitness testing and physical activity for population groups (children, youth, adults, seniors, medically compromised). Health-oriented fitness - performance-oriented fitness.

Anotace
Teoretický základ pro sofistikovaný přístup k diagnostice a objektivizaci lidského těla a lidského pohybu. Součástí je teorie testování, jak v rovině obecné, tak především v aplikačním pojetí k tělesné funkčnosti a tělesné zdatnosti.
Součástí jsou oblasti přístupu k hodnocení a evaluaci lidského těla z pohledu morfologického, z pohledu statického jako hodnocení postury a posturální stability. Další součástí je oblast dynamická, kde se pohybová oblast hodnotí kinematikou a inverzní dynamikou. Další oblastí je pak rozdělení diagnostiky a testování na část laboratorní a terénní včetně konkrétních standardizovaných testů.
