Annotation
Characteristics:
Aim of a lectures in the subject RE. Importance of physical education for pupils with health impairment at school. Classification of pupils according to Sports Medicine. Appropriate movement education for pupils from different groups. Professional conditions at physical education for such pupils. Students will acquire knowledge how to prepare movement activities both for their own health condition (to learn how movement can help with their own muscle imbalances) and for pupils with health impairment.
