Course objectives
The aim of this course is to increase the knowledge about current research in Kinesiology and teach the students how to write a comprehensive systematic review in this field. At the end of this course, students will be able to define their research topic and design the methods of a systematic review.
Learning outcomes
Students are expected to work step-by-step on one chosen review’ topic to gain experience with all the aspects of systematic review writing. The completion of the systematic review would be encouraged and will require students’ effort on regular home works.
