Introduction to the Program
This Postgraduate diploma offers you a complete and in-depth vision, both in sports injuries and athlete evaluations”
Given the prevalence of physical injuries in sports nowadays, we must think in terms of physiology when dealing with sports injuries. In this sense, this Postgraduate diploma contains several topics which include brief physiological recaps of the different systems related to physical exercise, delve deeper into lactate mechanisms and how they affect sport activity. All this is intended to update physicians in evaluating the physical condition of athletes.
This program takes a deeper look into athlete evaluations by covering clinical and functional aspects as well as imaging tests that will establish physical condition to perform sports activities and improve physical performance. Therefore, aspects such as updated knowledge of anthropometric measurements and body composition as a baseline reference point for the athlete are included.
Other topics of great interest are also developed to rule out cardiological pathology, and other more innovative topics are included, such as the evaluation of stress tests with oxygen consumption. All this without forgetting that psychology in sport plays a relevant role along with the other topics developed in this course.
The great advantage of this Postgraduate diploma is its 100% online teaching format. Physicians will be in charge of choosing the time and place that best suits their availability, schedules and interests. Through a study method of proven efficiency, students will be able to acquire new specific techniques in the areas of Sports Medicine.
