Abstract
Goniometry, measurement of the range of joint motion, is one of the basic diagnostic methods used in orthopedics, physiotherapy, or physical education and sports practice. However, we find differences in goniometric examinations and stated physiological range of motion of individual joints among the authors of professional publications. Based on the analysis of the professional literature, we selected the most frequently used data for the physiological range of joints, on which we can base the measurements. Our goal was to create a methodological material in the form of a video program with a methodical procedure and illustrative examples of measuring the angles of selected joints for the purpose of physical education and sports practice. It was realized within the project Internal Competition of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, in which students of the master program Physical Education Teacher participate. The creation of the video program was also initiated thanks to cooperation with the New Technologies – Research Center, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, where we participate in research that deals with the development of personalized models of the human body. In the future, we would like to use the methodology to examine and compare the flexibility of athletes from different sports (also the flexibility of men and women, or different age categories - children, youth and adults).
