Description



Basics of strength and conditioning: – Basic terms (training variables,
methods, load, physical strain) – The laws of the training process (anabolic and
catabolic phase, homeostasis) – Short overview of cyclization – Short overview
of motor abilities and methods for their development and maintainance Sport
Injuries: – Chronic and acute sport injuries of the musculoskeletal system, with
an emphasis on chronic overuse syndromes o Muscle injuries (strains, ruptures)
o Tendon injuries (tendinopathies, tendititis, tendinosis, rupture) o Ligament
injuries (strain, rupture) o Bone and joint injuries (fractures, stress
fractures, cartilage damage, dislocations) o The injuries of other structures
(menisci) – Other sport-related injuries and conditions o Brain concussion
o Respiratory problems o Athletic triad – Most common injuries of individual
structures – Most common injuries in selected sports Etiology and risk factors
– Mechanisms behind injury development (signle overload, repeated submaximal
loads, long-term exposure to load) – Internal risk factors o Body structure and
composition o Level of motor abilities development o Motor control
o Psychological characteristic of the sportsman o Muscle asymmetries
(strength or flexibility) o Structural or functional asymmetries – External
risk factors: o The volume, progressiveness and the specificity of the load
o Footwear and other equipment o Training surfaces o The nature of the sport
(contact and non-contact sports, team sports and individual sports) The elite
athlete – The level of motor abilities development and body systems in different
types of sportsmen – The level of load tolerance in elite athletes – Reference
values for motor abilities, physiological parameters and other test outcomes for
elite athletes and comparison to general population Sport injury prevention
– Screenings for prevention purposes o Motor ability level tests o Muscle
asymmetry test (dynamometry, isokinetics) o Range of motion tests (active and
passive) o Balance and postural control tests o Specific test batteries
(Functional Movement Screening) – Training for injury prevention o Resistance
training as a mean to prevent injuries in sport (general strengthening,
eliminating deficits and asymmetries, eccentric workouts to increase load
capacity) o Stretching as a mean to prevent injuries in sport (eliminating
flexibility deficits and asymmetries) o Balance and stability training
(improving neuro-muscular control) o Integration of the above-mentioned training
content into the general conditioning Late rehabilitation and return to the
field: – Modulation of training content and variables in late phases of
rehabilitation – Transfer into sport-specific movements and loads – The role of
resistance training in late rehabilitation – The role of stretching exercise in
late rehabilitation – The role of balance and stability exercise late
rehabilitation – Modulation of training variables at the return to the field
– The role of screening test in late rehabilitation The role of nutrition for
elite athletes – The preventive role of nutrition in sport – Nutrition as a mean
to ensure adequate recovery between training units and competitions The
usefulness of regeneration techniques in prevention and rehabilitation of elite
athlete – Cryotherapy, ultrasound, massage, active recovery, acupuncture,
lymphatic drainage
