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
Objectives
The course is part of the “athletic training” option of the master's degree in physical education. It builds on the teachings of anatomy, movement analysis, the theoretical foundations of physical and sports training, motor learning, physiology, exercise physiology, and the theoretical foundations of physical activities, motor learning, biology applied to sports, psychology, and psychological preparation.
High-level performance is achieved through a rigorous training process. One of the pillars of this process is evaluation.
The course focuses on three questions:
Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning activity, students will be able to choose and use the tools that enable them to effectively evaluate the components that underpin athletic performance.
They will also be able to use the results obtained to improve the training process (load, planning).
Contents
The course has been designed to cover the many facets of modern sports assessment. Only biomechanical assessment is not included. In designing the structure of this course, the teachers took care not to repeat material already covered in the first years of study. They also sought to enable students to benefit from skills acquired in other areas taught at the FSM.
New skills are acquired through classroom presentations, practical work, group work, and individual work.

High-level performance is achieved through a rigorous training process. One of the pillars of this process is evaluation.
The course focuses on three questions:
- Depending on the discipline, age, and level of the athlete, what qualities should be evaluated?
- What are the relevant tools for specifically evaluating these qualities?
- How can the results obtained be used to improve the training process?

Teaching methods
Lectures - flipped classrooms - practical work - internships
Students are informed that the course requires regular reading and preparation for teaching sessions.

Evaluation methods
Completion of all internships is a prerequisite for taking the exam. Students are notified of the validation deadline at the beginning of the year.
Assessment is partially continuous. Eight points out of twenty (8/20) are awarded for quizzes, group work, and individual assignments requested by instructors throughout the year. These are compiled in a portfolio. Students are advised that most of these assignments will be assessed on a pass/fail basis.
Twelve points out of twenty (12/20) will be awarded for the final exam, which is held in June. This exam consists of a written section and an oral section:
The written section lasts two hours and covers the topics addressed in the lectures (Partim M. Francaux, R. Hardwick, N. Benoit) and the content of the portfolio.
The oral part focuses on palpatory anatomy. It is also based on demonstrations.
The theoretical exam is organized in the same way in the second session.
Class attendance
Please note: Due to the continuous nature of the assessment of practical courses, it is not possible to repeat it in the second session (August). Therefore, in the event of failure, the grade obtained in the first session (June) will be carried over to the second session. The theoretical exam may be retaken.

Class attendance
- Active attendance at practical classes is therefore mandatory.
- In the event of an unjustified absence, the final grade will be weighted in proportion to the percentage of attendance.
- Punctuality: three late arrivals are equivalent to one unjustified absence.
- Any unjustified absence from an assessment will result in a grade of absence from the exam. In the event of a valid justified absence https://www.uclouvain.be/fr/facultes/fsm/restricted/certificats-medicaux , a make-up session may be organized if material and human conditions allow.

How and when should I submit a medical certificate?
How and when should I submit a medical certificate?
- A specific certificate template must be completed by the doctor.
- The student must scan their certificate in good quality. They must name the file with their first name, last name, and year of enrollment. The file must be saved in .pdf format.
(example: Delie_Arnaud_EDPH1BA.pdf) - The original or scanned copy of the medical certificate must be presented by the student to the course instructor and
- The scan must also be sent to the faculty administration using the specific form available at the following address: www.uclouvain.be/fsm-cm.
- Students must keep the original certificate until the end of the academic year, as it may be requested if necessary.
