Abstract - Multimedia Educational Support for Combatives with the Focus on Compensatory Effects
Introduction. Numerous exercises of medical character (breath, strengthening, developing the right habit of stance etc.) are used in training of a basic combative technique. These exercises can be employed as a fitness or medical preparation in non-combative sports as well as for the purposes of compensatory exercises in general.
Aim. We introduce a project with the aim to create multimedia educational support available online on e-learning portal of Masaryk University that combines visual record of a set of exercises, spoken commentary and inscribed objects emphasising the node points of the exercises.
Material and methods. The content of the exercise book shall be divided into three categories: 1. combative exercises developing in general, 2. combative exercises usable as compensatory for different kinds of stress and 3. non-combative exercises for compensation of stress caused by particular combative sports and martial arts. Besides the visual record the set of exercises shall be replenished with a description of a way and course of doing the exercises and their explanation from the point of view of functional anatomy. The target group of educational support is formed by students in a bachelor and master degree study programme. The primary target group is represented by students of the Faculty of Sport Studies – study programme Regeneration and Nutrition in Sport, secondary target group is represented by all other students of Masaryk University and also by the public.
Conclusions. On the basis of previous knowledge of this issue we await the practical education to become more effective and of better quality in the sense of concentration on consulting and preventing mistakes during the training. We further anticipate that with the help of the interactive study material we shall contribute to an increase of individual study activity of students. The students will be able to approach the exercises application also in other subjects taught at the Faculty of Sport Studies as well as in a professional practice.
