Ph.D. Programs Either full-time or part-time studies: Kinanthropology Biomechanics Kinanthropology Kinanthropology is a multidisciplinary scientific branch which deals with the complex effect of intentional and spontaneous movement activity on human personality development in bio-psycho-social context and conditions in the area of physical education and sport, physiotherapy, health physical education including their effective management. Biomechanics Biomechanics is an interdisciplinary scientific branch which deals with the mechanic structure and behaviour of living systems and their mutual mechanic Ph.D. Study Programs 29 interactions based on detailed knowledge of anatomy and biochemistry. The main theoretical aims are formulations of generally valid rules both on a cellular and organic level, and on a human level. Biophysical and engineering methodological approach to task solution is supported by high-level knowledge of biological character. The research takes place at various distinctive levels, from microbiomechanics (cellular level) to living macro systems (e.g. biomechanics of humans). It is possible to come across biomechanics applications in a wide range of sciences and professional activities. Biomechanics in this form could be used not only in the area of basic research but also in a wide range of professional activities such as rehabilitation medicine, ergonomics, forensic and biomedicine engineering, sport etc. The training department of Charles University and Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic enable interdisciplinary education in doctoral studies in large scale and in the direction of a particular application.

The aim of these studies is therefore an effort to create a space for systematic scientific work that focuses on the ethical dimension of various disciplines or professions. During the studies the adepts have to manage also the methods of scientific work and its professional presentation. Study plan for PhD. students includes: - so called comparative examination: one-term course completed by an examination in the fields, which the candidate has not studied, but which are necessary for doctoral studies; - compulsory part: two two-term courses completed by an examination; - optional part: a choice of six one-term courses completed by an examination; - other duties: an article in peer-reviewed publications, 2 reviews, 2 lectures, seminar for students, participation in two conferences.
