Department of Adapted Physical Activities
Activity of this department is based on the understanding of physical activity as an instrument of socializing and maintaining a balance between the subjective feeling of physical and mental health. Adapted Physical Activities (APA) are focused on a wide range of disabilities and the department employees are, among other things, concerned with the creation and evaluation of APA programmes, the lifestyle of the disabled or physical activities of the elderly. The department offers three study programmes: Adapted Physical Activity, Adapted Physical Education, as well as Civil Protection which provides higher education to the members of emergency services. The study programmes listed above are also offered to students with special education needs. Furthermore, APA Centre, being also part of the department, organizes the practical activities.

BALUO Application Centre
BALUO Application Centre is a modern and in the Czech Republic unique science and technology park, combining research into movement and lifestyle with everyday life. The Centre includes a testing swimming pool with underwater cameras using special sensors monitoring the swimmers’ movement, thus allowing a deeper analysis of the underwater activities. The sensors also monitor the testing hall area. The Centre also offers its own ski simulator with adjustable angle and speed, a “smart” fitness centre or a climbing wall. What is more, a diagnostic studio of physical culture – or your body technical control station – is the crucial part of the innovative Centre. After discovering their current state, i.e. their starting point, a client can opt for the appropriate physical activity, or alternatively, we give them recommendations. Our clients can consult us about the physical activities they have chosen, as well as practise them in the Centre. We put emphasis on the individual needs of each client and performig all activities as part of a long-term programme.
The construction of the Centre was funded by the Operational programme Entrepreneurship and innovation.
