ICT development has determined in the latest decades important changes in all the activity fields, including education. These changes are also reflected in the curriculum assigned to teachers’ initial and continuing training. Disciplines such as IT and computer-assisted instruction, specific to the initial training, or purposely designed programs for the continuing training come to meet this exigency of our contemporary society. In the above-mentioned context, this paper aims at highlighting the professionals’ opinion about the opportunity of using ICT in teaching, as well as the characteristics of one of the ICT main applications to the instruction in physical education and sports field, namely to support the motor action assessment process. Starting from the data provided by the survey conducted on 126 physical education teachers and coaches participating in the training program “ICT applications to physical education and sports teaching” (developed within the POSDRU grant 19/1.3/G/13096, Professionalization of teaching career in physical education and sports from the perspective of continuing learning), the paper emphasizes the specialists’ interest in objectifying the assessment of motor actions by means of specialized software, as well as the main functionalities of the software programs for the motion graphical analysis (measuring the motion angles, biomechanical analysis of motions, frame-by-frame motion analysis, measuring the action times and distances, comparing two motor performances, information saving and storage, importing pictures and movies, processing possibilities). The advantages and limitations of practically using such software in our field are also emphasized. Conclusions synthesize the main competencies acquired by the specialists using these tools and which represent the basis for some proposals meant to optimize the training process.
