This study seeks to analize, explore and compare teaching guides of two Spanish degrees related to training in physical activity from the competency- bassed model. A documentary analysis of the competencies and an analysis of the assessment systems, according to formative point of view, in 54 subject teaching guides in common typology of both degrees, obtaining at the end mesurables variables. A MANOVA Biplot analysis is applied to graphically represent the variables that characterize each subject profile. Its application shows substantial differences between degrees and, also, between the three subject profiles in the Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, which do not happend in the Degree in Teacher Initial Training (Physical Education at Primary School). Eventually, the study shows a useful analysis model for evaluating the quality of teaching guides that could be extrapolated and met to other degrees.
