Abstract
Background and Study Aim. The cognitive aim of the paper is the methodological argumentation, showing the UTPA-MP as a basic tool for providing evidence that the physical education paradigm is in many ways counterproductive in the sense of the social responsibility of science to permanently strengthen all dimensions of personal health and safety. Application objective – a perspective on the application of UTPA-MP from the micro-scale to the global dimension of public. Material and Methods. UTPA-MP, as a compilation of empirically verified non- and quasi-experimental tests in numerous experimental applications, provides knowledge about human motor potential according to uniform evaluation criteria, irrespective of gender. The age limits are conventional – the boundaries of the continuum are only indicatively linked to the start of primary school. Results. The results of the UTPA-MP provide knowledge of deep sensibility, flexibility, ability to tolerate imbalances, muscle strength of the upper and lower limbs and abdominal muscles, as well as the body's physical capacity (anaerobic and aerobic). Since it lasts about 15-20 minutes it is a sufficient stimulus preparing the body for the continuation of physical effort. The test is a system of specific training sessions and has references to the strengthening of health and survival skills. Conclusions. Since in the praxeological sense ‘dispositional feasibility’ – is the strength, intellectual or manipulative ability and knowledge (skill) and willingness sufficient to perform a given action, the interpretation of the results of measuring motor (energy) potential based on UTPA-MP indices goes beyond the paradigm narrowed to the field of physical education and sport.
