Introduction
In one hand, it exists a block focusing on the study of injuries with more incidence in sport. Considering that the mandatory subject dealing to the knowledge of injuries of the musculoskeletal system have been done in a previous academic course, the point of view of the present subject is different to the above-mentioned subject, trying to have a more transversal vision of injuries depending on the affected tissue. Moreover, in this block is also developed an introduction to the concept of return to play, which is the process continuing any therapeutic resolution of an injury.
On the other hand, it will be taught another block focused on the study of how prescription of exercise is good for health. This point will be presented from the point of view of how education for an active style of life throw regular exercise is a good way of illness prevention. This block will also offer a knowledge related to injuries and the control of basic parameters of training process in order to have a benefit from exercise.
Pre-course requirements
Not specified.
