Course detail
Sport Training
CESA-SSPTAcad. year: 2025/2026
The subject of Sports Training is predicated on the theoretical knowledge gained in the subjects of Anatomy, Functional Anatomy, Physiology, Physiology of Physical Activity, Biomechanics, and Social Sciences in Sports. It integrates this knowledge into an applied perspective on sports training management. The course focuses on the adaptation of the human organism to various types of training stimuli in the context of different sports performances.
The programme is designed to inculcate students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles underpinning sports training. The curriculum encompasses an in-depth exploration of the legal principles governing the development, maintenance, and evaluation of physical fitness and sports performance. A pivotal aspect of the programme is the analysis of the interplay between training load, regeneration, and the mitigation of health risks. The course encompasses an introduction to the principles of monitoring and evaluating the condition of the body in sports training, including the role of selected diagnostic and monitoring methods in managing the training process for various types of sports performance.

Entry knowledge
The prerequisite for this programme of study is the possession of fundamental knowledge of the human body's reactions to physical exertion, as well as an understanding of the typology of physical activities.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course assessment is based on a combination of the student's ongoing activity in seminars and a final written test.
Assessment:
- It is imperative that activity in practical exercises (seminars) is undertaken, and that the requisite reports are submitted. The total number of points is 30.
- The maximum score on the written credit test is... 70 points
The credit test serves to verify an individual's understanding of the fundamental concepts underpinning sports training and orientation, particularly with regard to the body's response to regular training and the methods of monitoring this response.
Attendance:
- Students must attend lectures and seminars in a minimum of 80% of cases.
- In exceptional cases, and with the agreement of the instructor, an absence from a lecture or seminar may be compensated for by submission of a seminar paper, which the student is required to present.
It is anticipated that students will receive a graded credit for the following:
- The subject has fulfilled the attendance requirements.
- Active engagement in seminars is to be demonstrated, in addition to the submission of all required reports, which must be of an appropriate quality.
- The candidate is required to complete a written test.
Course evaluation:
- A: 91–100 points
- B: 81–90 points
- C: 71–80 points
- D: 61–70 points
- E: 50–60 points
Aims
The objective of the course is to furnish students with perspicuous theoretical and practical knowledge of the principles of human adaptation to regular physical activity and the manifestations of fitness and athletic performance. The course introduces students to the fundamental principles of athletic training, including the methods of developing motor abilities and skills, and their application in the training process.
The programme is designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge regarding the principles, efficacy, and utilisation of training methodologies, media, and modalities in sports training, with a focus on the enhancement and preservation of athletic performance. The programme will also encompass instruction in the testing and monitoring of bodily condition during the training process, encompassing both laboratory and field conditions, utilising motor tests and selected instrumentation.
The course encompasses the development of the capacity to manage data derived from the training process and testing, their fundamental processing, interpretation, and comprehension of the interrelationships between load, adaptation, and performance. It is imperative that students are made aware of the possibilities and limitations of using modern technologies in monitoring and evaluating athletic performance.
Graduates of this course will be equipped with the necessary skills to independently prepare and implement basic forms of testing of motor abilities and skills. They will also be able to use the appropriate instrumentation and process the data obtained for analysis and evaluation.
The written examination serves to verify the student's ability to:
- The following essay will provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles underpinning the development of fitness, training, and athletic performance.
- The following investigation will attempt to ascertain the most effective methods for the development of motor abilities and skills.
- It is imperative to elucidate the significance of regular testing and monitoring in the context of sports training.
- The following essay will describe the fundamental organisational structure of monitoring and testing in the domain of sports.
- It is imperative to possess a comprehensive understanding of the equipment employed in the assessment of motor abilities.
