The implementation of making an exercise design for athletes or the creation of fitness norms for society, based on a sport science, is the example of concrete implementation results from successful learning related to the use of knowledge of physiological characteristics in athletes and society obtained when taking courses this.

Sports Biomechanics

It is realized that a result of movement analysis in sports cannot only be proven qualitatively, but also must be proven quantitatively based on a tool or parameter that has good validity and reliability. Therefore, sports biomechanics invites all students/graduates to understand and be able to analyze sports movement in the perspective of sports biomechanics in which in the learning process, students/graduates are able to understand the most basic body shapes in sports activities, so that they can be developed properly, and comprehend the analysis concept of body movement activities in mechanical principles. Thus, they can prove and analyze a movement quantitatively and qualitatively.

Sports Nutrition

Sports nutrition learning and research makes students/graduates understand how to control a good and safe diet. In addition, they can understand the use of good and safe supplements for well-controlled achievement sports and health sports.

Sports Management

The development of sports towards industry increases the need for someone who has the competence of a sports management specialist. The field of sports management studies is present to answer the needs of the times.

Semenjak tahun 2015, seleksi yang diikuti oleh calon mahasiswa menjadi 2 tahap yaitu seleksi tertulis dan wawancara. Hal ini tertuang dan diatur lebih detail dalam Pedoman Pelaksanaan Seleksi Magister dan Doktor khusus untuk SF ITB yang termuat dalam surat kaprodi No 789/I1.C03.5.3/PP/2015 perihal Seleksi Prodi Magister Keolahragaan. Selain itu, ada persyaratan lain yang harus dilengkapi oleh calon mahasiswa diantaranya sertifikat nilai TPA Bappenas paling rendah 475, serta sertifikat nilai TOEFL ITP/TOEFL iBT/TOEIC/IELTS/ELPT ITB paling rendah 475/56/500/5/77.

The types of selection are as follows:

Written test is carried out for 60 minutes consisting of two types of questions, namely regarding basic scientific knowledge and the intended subject choice.
Interview is carried out orally for 15 minutes, led by the chairman from KPPS members to direct the selection process. Each examiner, consisting of three to four examiners from the related field of science, provides an assessment.

Seleksi tahap kedua dilakukan pada tingkat fakultas/sekolah oleh tim seleksi yang terdiri dari Komite Program Pascasarjana, Dosen SF-ITB, dan Kaprodi Magister Keolahragaan. Pola seleksi sementara ini berupa wawancara minat, institusi asal saat mengikuti pendidikan S1, membahas bakat dan kemampuan kandidat sesuai dengan prestasi akademik S1 yang dimilikinya dan bidang yang diminati di masa mendatang seperti manajemen olahraga, kesehatan olahraga, dan teknologi olahraga. Di samping itu juga ditanyakan tentang pemahaman kandidat mengenai kurikulum PS Magister Keolahragaan dan ditanyakan mengenai master plan atau strategi pengembangan institusi dan kepakaran di institusi masing-masing, sehingga tingkat kemanfaatan studi di Program Studi Magister Keolahragaan menjadi lebih signifikan. Dalam kesempatan tersebut, seluruh anggota tim seleksi menuliskan rekomendasi secara terpisah untuk setiap kandidat yang diwawancarai. Rekomendasi yang diajukan diserahkan kepada Dekan SF ITB dan DEKTM ITB untuk pengambilan keputusan akhir. Hasil seleksi dari Sekolah Farmasi tersebut kemudian diserahkan kepada Sekolah Pascasarjana ITB untuk kemudian ditetapkan dan diumumkan sebagai hasil akhir seleksi penerimaan mahasiswa baru PS Magister Keolahragaan. Calon mahasiswa yang lulus seleksi penerimaan kemudian melakukan registrasi ulang.

Selain itu, dalam tahapan wawancara, kandidat mahasiswa diwajibkan sudah memiliki rencana penelitian yang sesuai dengan roadmap penelitian Prodi. Selanjutnya para kandidat menyiapkan nama dosen di Prodi untuk diajukan sebagai calon pembimbing Tesis yang akan diajukan pada saat tahapan seleksi wawancara.
