Annotation
This subject follows remedial physical education in a practical way. The relevance of compensatory exercise and applications in daily life are discussed. Compensation of locomotor system (over)load after physical activity and sport. Methodological approaches to affect particular body regions in a positive way will be introduced. This subject creates adequate practical pre-requisites for movement programs aimed to compensate the load in sport.
Compensatory exercises are aimed to prevent functional disorders, especially the locomotor system disorders.
The locomotor system plays an important role, as it produces the overall movement of the human body.
Professional athletes often push the functional physiological abilities to their limits and may easily overload or even damage the locomotor system. That is why compensatory exercises aim to reduce the negative effect of overloading, to eliminate functional disorders and to maintain the muscle balance.
