Learning Outcomes
After a completing the course successfully, the student will be able to:
• name and describe the structure and function of the neuromuscular system.
• identify the type of neuromuscular adaptations that take place after an intervention (e.g. training, fatigue, warm-up etc.).
• recognize and describe the special properties of the neuromuscular system at different ages (from developmental to older age).
• name and describe the methods that are used for the evaluation of the neuromuscular system and the human motion.
• apply the above methods and plan appropriate measurement's protocol.
• interpret the recorded data of laboratory measurements that are related to the function of the neuromuscular system and human motion.
• evaluate the quality and effectiveness of human motion and to recognize possible deficits during the execution.
• present methods and research findings in short oral presentations
