Sumario:Research has shown that bullying occurs in social contexts beyond the school environment, such as in sports, significantly impacting athletes' well-being. Consequently, professionals in Physical Activity (PA), Physical Education (PE), and sports must be prepared to address these behaviors, which is determined by their training. This study analyzes the presence of bullying content in the Bachelor's degrees in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences (PASS) in Spain. A descriptive and quantitative analysis was conducted on the presence of bullying contents in 1264 syllabi from 26 universities. Results revealed a lack of presence of the bullying concept in the syllabi of PASS degrees, which could lead to a lack of training for future professionals. Reviewing PASS syllabi and including this content in the curricular materials are recommended.
