Practical instruction is conducted through seminars featuring open discussions and thematic workshops. These will involve group work, peer analysis of case studies, and applying findings to work with various athletes. Independent study, building on seminar content, will include completing homework exercises and assignments, submitting them through the designated submission portal, and finishing answer sheets and course projects.

b) Completion of the Semester Project Peer Review;
c) continuous completion of the sub-assigned independent work as assigned in the interactive curriculum.
3. Interim tests verifying knowledge of the studied areas (3 in total). The tests are taken at the time of the seminar every fourth week of the semester.
