Omschrijving:Research seedbeds, structured extracurricular groups dedicated to early research training, represent a key strategy for scientific literacy and the development of research competencies in undergraduate students in sports and health programs. This document functions as a practical management guide: it presents a conceptual framework grounded in inquiry-based learning and peer mentoring models; proposes a four-level participation structure with clearly differentiated roles and expected outcomes; describes a six-phase annual formative cycle; and synthesizes the motivations, challenges, and proposals that emerge from the student experience. The guide integrates current evidence on undergraduate research programs, identifies structural barriers and opportunities, and outlines concrete recommendations for institutional sustainability. The central argument is that research seedbeds should be understood not merely as extracurricular activities but as strategic axes for the professionalization of the sports-health field, capable of fostering scientific thinking, critical capacity, and ethical commitment beyond strict technical training.
