Learn to
Get to know the fundamental characteristics for both prevention strategies and injury rehabilitation, as well as the different injury mechanisms in team sports.
Propose efficient prevention strategies based on a process founded on scientific evidence.
Handle pathologies and specific injuries corresponding to each sport.
Improve critical analysis by completing a training program on the different professional roles of sports science and health.
Determine how the central nervous system influences human movement as well as how we can shape the ability to make decisions for movement.
Apply the appropriate methodology to the design of the post-injury rehabilitation process in situations where strength development plays a significant role.
Analyze workload monitoring data to orientate the training process towards preventing injuries and consequently successfully optimize sports performance.
Identify the areas involved in the control and adjustment of movements, as well as how they are involved.
Manage specific strategies to support a dual career and understand the different transitions in an athlete's life.
