| Educational objectives | At the end of the course the student is expected to have acquired the theoretical and practical knowlwge necessary to adequately choose evaluation tests in a fitness program |
| Prerequisites | Basic knowledge of biology, biochemistry physiology, pathology, biomechanics and sport science acquired in the basic curse of motor sciences are desirable. However, at the beginning of the curse an evaluation test, aiming to define the knowledge of the propedeutical arguments will be performed and the lessons will be accordingly tailored. |
| Teaching methods | face to face |
