To know that the bioenergetic factors assume a fundamental performance-influencing role in sport in general, and in individual cycle sports in particular, through the bioenergetical characterization and metabolic kinetics of short, medium and long durations efforts (intermittent and continuous), as well as in well accepted protocols used for the assessment of the behaviour of relevant physiological parameters. To understand very well the protocol, methods and equipment used in Sport Sciences, since the beginning of Exercise Physiology until the present, used to study the energetics of human locomotion, and its contribution to athletic performance. To have extensive knowledge about the energy expenditure and energy cost concepts, knowing how to assessthem including all the components. To comprehend the concepts of fatigue thresholds, connecting them to the transitions between energy systems. To be aware of the literature state of art regarding the above-referred topics.

The above-referred syllabuses allow students to acquire deep knowledge regarding the bioenergetical characterization and metabolic kinetics in Sport through the oral and written transmission of relevant studies (some of which from authorship of Cifi2d members), as well as by practical experimentation. The achievement of a written work based on the treatment of physiological data also allows a better perception by the students of the behavior of the most relevant physiological parameters.

Plural, although focused on the most traditional class centred on the transmission of syllabus, due to the number of students (<20), to the diverse iconographic support, and to the systematic appeal to students intervention and dialog. It is important to highlight also the call to participate in experimental moments regarding bioenergetical data, as well as to the participation of invited teachers and PhD students (from more advanced years) that show the protocols, methods and equipment used when making a bioenergetical characterization and the assessment of metabolic kinetics in different sports.
