Master's Degree in Hyperbaric Medicine in Physical Activity and Sport
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as a treatment that increases oxygen levels in the blood, is not only a therapeutic paradigm that has proven highly useful in the healthcare sector but also has a wide range of applications in the sports field, both from a research perspective and in muscle rehabilitation. Motivated by the desire to explore the versatile benefits of this system, TECH Global University offers the Master’s Degree in Hyperbaric Medicine in Physical Activity and Sport: a 100% online program that meticulously covers, across ten modules, everything from the principles and physiological effects of advanced oxygenation to the contraindications of the practice and diseases related to decompression. This postgraduate program, with proven efficacy and international prestige, grounds its added value in the use of cutting-edge educational methodologies and innovative advancements on digital platforms. By choosing TECH, you’ll receive unique professional training that will elevate your career in sports sciences to the next level.
Study hyperbaric medicine for sports
One of the key components when engaging in physical activity or sport is optimal breath control. Under normal conditions, our lungs transport between 6 and 7.5 liters of air per minute. Intense exercise increases this amount to between 120 and 200 liters. This increase promotes the metabolic production of energy, which is crucial for sports performance. However, when breathing 100% pure oxygen (which is impossible in daily life), the capacity of blood plasma to metabolize this element multiplies to astonishing levels. This is precisely what hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) achieves, and it is something you will thoroughly learn in our master’s program. Our qualified teaching team will guide you to apply healing or anti-inflammatory effects, enhance muscular abilities, and even rehabilitate patients physically and neurologically through hyperbaric chambers. The online format of the classes also provides flexibility in scheduling and accessibility from mobile devices. If you seek to secure your future, TECH is the answer.
