Aims

At the end of the course the successful student will be able to choose and to use the tools allowing her-him to evaluate accurately the components which underlie sport performance.

Main themes

The main topics approached will be the detection and the counselling of the young sports talents, the evaluation of energetic pathways , the testing of strength, power and speed, the exercise testing on the sport ground, the food intake evaluation, the body composition evaluation, the scouting and the biomechanical measurements in sports. The student will apply various tests on the ground. He-she will be encourage to integrate these evaluations into the follow-up of the training programme of sportswomen and sportsmen (75 hours). This approach will be the subject of a synthesis in the form of a written report.

Content and teaching methods

The course was built in order to understand the many facets of modern evaluation of athletes. Only biomechanical evaluation is lacking. By building the structure of this course, teachers have been careful not to be redundant with material already learned in the early grades. On the other hand, they attempted to bring students from other skill areas taught in IEPRI.
The new skills are acquired through classroom lectures, practical work, observation of courses and a final staff report
