 CODE OF ETHICS

One of the objectives of a professional association (ethics

department) is to control ethics within the profession and the
regulation of the correct exercise of it, with the aim of protecting
the community.

It is also the obligation of the Department to know and disciplinaryly judge any
conduct of a member or group of members that threatens or harms the prestige
of the profession, whether due to their professional or social behavior.

members and at least one alternate, all active Kinesiologists with more than 15
years of membership and never sanctioned by the Order and of recognized
prestige.

The set of moral evaluations that regulate the conduct of members in their
professional actions is the "CODE OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS OF THE
