Subject-specific competences:	BIOMECHANICS Introduction to physics and measurement theory Measurement theory Physics as an interdisciplinary science Historical view Measurement theory Human biomechanical system in motion human body motion energetics biomechanics of knee and muscles anthropometric data, locomotion, ... Knowledge and understanding: Student will be able to: recognise and define basic laws of biomechanics, identify parameters of body segments, identify and evaluate kinematic and kinetic parameters of human motion, with measurement principles, define the need and select the valid muscle diagnostic (EMG, TMG, isokinetic, etc.), use the biomechanical analysis and collaborate in the expert team. Student will be familiarized with actual measurement technology, procedures, movement analysis and interpretation of results. Student will learn to approach analytically and interdisciplinary in solving problems and transfer his knowledge from theory to practice. The course content incorporates basic knowledge needed for transfer from natural sciences, technologies to social and humanistic sciences. It is directly linked to kinesiology, sport, ergonomics, methodology. Student will learn skills for data collection, interpretation, measurement techniques, reporting (oral and written), identification and solving problems, synthesis, writing manuscripts, interpreting scientific articles, work in a research teams.
