Description:
2.1.Course objectives
The objective is to enable the students to attain knowledge about the organization and operation of sports system. Acquiring theoretical and training knowledge required for planning, programming and fitness diagnostics in sports at different competition quality levels during all phases of long-term athletic development.
2.2.Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course
No enrolment requirements.
2.3.Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes
Training theory provides the students with knowledge about: theoretical and methodological principles of selection in sports, sports diagnostics, and planning and programming in sports.
The students will learn to :
-Identify and analyze characteristics of different sports activities, sports preparedness/fitness and sport shape components, principles of selection in sport, factors of successful sports career in all types of sports;
-Explain and critically evaluate training methods for the development and maintenance of physical fitness and learning as well as for teaching technical and tactical skills aimed at safe gradual athletes progression;
-Apply acquired knowledge in sports training programmes design according to the diagnosed athletes sports fitness levels and within available time period and training conditions.
2.4.Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes)
In the formation of Training Theory learning outcomes, relying on the clearly determined tasks of this course, the students will be able to define and analyze:
-Different sports systems, their strong and weak sides and resources necessary for maintaining sports system development on the local, regional and global level;
-Sports activity characteristics that appear as a result of structural, biomechanical, functional/energetic and other types of analyses, convenient for generating knowledge about different sports disciplines and hierarchical factor structure relevant to performance of each discipline;
-Internal features of athletes: abilities, skills and characteristics, i.e. basic anthropological features and specific dimensions which allow them quality training and high sports performance;
-Diagnostic procedures aimed at defining sports fitness levels at the beginning (initial level), during (transitive levels) and at the end (final level) of each training process;
-Sports selection procedures (orientation to sport and sports discipline ) of potential candidates for top-level performance;
-Sports shape as the condition of athletes that allows him/her the achievement of top-level results at the main competitions;
-Sports preparation process consisting of sports training as a transformational process, competition systems and recovery methods;
-Biological principles of training and training methodology principles presenting the foundation for the planning and programming of the process of training, competition and recovery;
-Teaching methods for technical and tactical (TE-TA) skills acquisition and training methods aimed at the progression of athletes physical fitness development and improvement of TE-TA skills;
-Sports preparation planning and programming for individual athletes and sports teams in different sports disciplines and in different phases of long-term and annual periodization;
Within this course, the students, i.e. prospective teachers and coaches, will acquire fundamental knowledge for successful work in school sport, top-level sport, as well as in sports for the disabled.
