Summary/Abstract: The present article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at assessing the practical relevance of selected disciplines within the course Sport for All in the training of students majoring in Kinesitherapy at the National Sports Academy „Vassil Levski“. To process the results, rank-based statistical methods were applied, including Kendall’s coefficient of concordance (Kendall’s W) and min – max normalisation followed by inverse rescaling, enabling the calculation of the relative importance (Yᵢ%) of each discipline. The analysis revealed a high degree of concordance among respondents (W = 0.68) and a clearly defined hierarchy of significance: the highest-rated activities were health walking (28,8%) and health running (23,9%), followed by aerobics (19.0%). Strength training and exercises on fitness machines occupied intermediate positions, while callanetics was identified as the discipline with the lowest practical applicability (4,6%).
