Description

The perfect opportunity to address the physiological factors that determine a good practice of Professional Cycling”

##IMAGE##

As the cyclist trains, a series of adaptations occur at the cellular and muscular level. These allow greater efficiency in the use of energy substrates , a better capacity to produce energy and an increase in resistance to fatigue. Taken together, all these factors translate into an enhanced performance of the athlete, which is why the mastery of Physiology in this discipline is postulated as an imperative aspect.

That is why this postgraduate certificate is positioned as a fantastic option for the sports professional to update himself on the adaptations at the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular and metabolic level that determine performance. Thus, during the program, the energy systems will be analyzed in detail, focusing on the metabolism of phosphagens and glycolysis. Similarly, students will examine the role of lactate and HR or HRV responses to exercise. With all this, students will improve their skills in situations such as the interpretation of hematology in athletes.

Undoubtedly, a high-level specialization with which the Sports Science professional will verify the benefits of updating at the hands of the largest online university in the world. In this sense, you should not go to a face-to-face center for a single day or submit to pre-set schedules, so the management of academic times will be at your own expense. In addition, with just an Internet connection you will have access to the largest digital library of resources on this subject.

Thanks to this title you will master the operation of the systems energy sources, influencing the phosphagen metabolism and glycolysis”

This postgraduate certificate in Cyclist Exercise Physiology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

  • The development of practical cases presented by experts in Physiology of Exercise in the Cyclist
