Learning outcomes |
The continuing education course “Digital Innovation in Sport, Health and Well-Being: From Science to Practice” aims to provide participants with knowledge and practical skills on the application of digital technology and scientific evidence in the promotion of health, physical exercise, and well-being.
It is expected that participants will:
i) understand the role of digital innovation in the fields of sport, health, and well-being;
ii) identify technological tools applied to exercise assessment, prescription, and monitoring;
iii) explore different tools used to promote healthy lifestyles and quality of life;
iv) recognize the importance of healthy behaviours for well-being and longevity;
v) integrate digital solutions into the promotion of healthy lifestyles across different contexts and populations.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The assessment of participants will be carried out through a final questionnaire/test, administered at the end of the module, aimed at verifying their understanding of the covered contents, their ability to identify and interpret digital tools, and their integration of fundamental concepts in the promotion of health, physical exercise, and well-being. The questionnaire will include both theoretical and applied questions, ensuring alignment between the learning objectives and the competencies developed throughout the course.
