The Faculty of Physical Culture is one of the newly established faculties (1991) of the historically renowned University in Olomouc (established in 1573, closed in 1860; re-established as Palacký University in 1946). It ranks among the most modern faculties and boasts a very ambitious programme. It aims to prepare qualified teachers of physical education for all types of schools, and to train experts for out-of-school physical activities of children and young adults, and for physical activities of all groups of the population, including people with disabilities. Besides training teachers, the Faculty offers programmes in Leisure Studies, Adapted Physical Activities, Physiotherapy and Civic Studies. Additionally, a doctoral study programme in Kinanthropology is also one of the hallmarks of the curriculum.
