Language

Main themes

The following themes will be addressed through the theoretical course, the intervention of experts
and case studies leading to an action plan:

• Sport development models such as SPLISS, HPSF/HEPA/HPSC, LTAD, ARTN, FTEM, etc.
• The principles and stages of project management
• Interdisciplinarity in sport science practice and research

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

Identify and explain the main components of a sport development model (1.1, 1.2, 1.4.). Recognise and illustrate interdisciplinarity in sport development (1.1, 1.2, 1.4., 1.5., 3.4., 5.1.). Apply knowledge based on sport development models to analyse an issue in the Belgian sport context (1.1, 1.2, 1.4., 1.5.). Recommend interdisciplinary courses of action and formulate a strategy to resolve the problems identified in the case studied (1.5., 1.6.,1.11, 3.3., 3.4.). Communicate appropriately in writing and in front of an audience (4.1., 4.2., 4.3., 4.5). Formulate and defend your opinion in a group situation (5.1., 5.2., 5.3., 5.4.). Work in a team and manage a project (5.1., 5.2., 5.3., 5.4., 6.1., 6.2., 6.3., 6.4.)

Content

During this teaching unit, students discover the main development models of sports, such as SPLISS, HPSF/HEPA/HPSC, DLTA, ARTN, or FTEM. The course also presents the principles and steps of project management as well as the role of interdisciplinarity in sports sciences practices and research. These topics are explored through theoretical instruction, input from field experts, and case studies.
By the end of the unit, students will be able to identify and explain the main components of a sports development model and recognize the interdisciplinarity that underpins this development. They will know how to apply these models to analyze a problem within the Belgian sports context, recommend interdisciplinary action strategies, and formulate a resolution plan. Finally, they will be able to communicate effectively, both in writing and in front of an audience, to articulate and defend their opinions in a group, and to work as part of a team within the framework of project management.
