In particular, the course objectives are to know and understand:
- the issues related to physical fitness assessment and its application both in amateur and top level sports, and in different age groups or populations;
- how to choose and perform physical fitness assessment in sport;
- how to perform assessments in both lab and in field setting;
- how to interpret to understand the results of the tests and their application in exercise prescription.
