What it is
The first year covers functional anatomy, motor control, sports genetics, biomechanics, physiology and medicine, and biochemistry and nutrition, followed by three levels of coaching theory and didactics and the theory and practice of a chosen sport, plus sports psychology and testing in sport, with attention to AI and e-sports. Coaching practice runs over three semesters, with internships in sports centres in Lithuania or abroad and a partnership with Kaunas Zalgiris basketball club. Optional tracks lead to international certificates, for example in athletic training or personal training. Research methods and a thesis finish the degree. Graduates work as coaches, athletic trainers, competition officials and sports managers.
