Informe Analítico de Pasantía: Articulación de las Tendencias de la II Cumbre de Visionarios con el Perfil de Magister en Entrenamiento Deportivo y Actividad Física

Abstract

This report aims to interpret the competencies acquired during the 2nd Visionaries Summit—held in Bucaramanga on September 17 and 18, 2026—and their relationship to the graduate profile of the Master’s program in Sports Training and Physical Activity. Insights regarding leadership, communication, social transformation, artificial intelligence, inclusion, habits, decision-making, international business, and high-performance teamwork emerged from notes taken during the two-day conference and the official agenda. Regarding the program's graduate profile competencies, the one most significantly enhanced was the ability to analyze situations in order to formulate solutions grounded in scientific knowledge, social responsibility, and professional judgment.

This report employs a qualitative model with a descriptive-interpretive approach, utilizing a case study format focused on a formative experience. Participant observation and reflective journaling—conducted while attending the 2nd Visionaries Summit presentations—served as the primary data collection tools, enabling the creation of matrices that cut across the analyzed themes. This information underwent categorical and hermeneutic analysis to correlate the graduate profile competencies of the Master’s program in Sports Training and Physical Activity with the concepts presented in the sessions attended.

Thus, the guiding question arises: How do the thematic areas and emerging trends presented at the 2nd Visionaries Summit enrich, transform, and strengthen the professional competencies and scientific-practical judgment of a Master’s graduate in Sports Training and Physical Activity within the current context? Consequently, the acquisition of new concepts and competencies can be viewed as analytical findings resulting from the systematization of this experience. The scientific discussion focuses on two key areas: the use of AI and data to support sports training monitoring, and the individualized prescription of training loads using objective indicators such as movement velocity. The literature reviewed cautions against relying on metrics or algorithms for automated decision-making. As a practical application, the FARO 360 initiative was developed; this is a functional, twelve-week training intervention plan that integrates an initial assessment, simple load monitoring, periodic goal reviews, and accessible feedback. This proposal aims to translate insights from the summit into a sports practice that is more inclusive, measurable, reflective, and person-centered.
