Incorporate the benefits of HBOT in sports medicine intervention: an innovative and efficient pathway to high therapeutic quality"  

The creation of new generation hyperbaric chambers, which are more affordable and easier to install in public and private institutions, has led different professionals to incorporate this tool into their daily practice. Among them, one of the areas that is benefiting the most from this type of therapy is Sports Science. 

The postgraduate diploma in Hyperbaric Medicine: Fundamentals, Effects and Indications of HBOT in Physical Activity and Sport will allow the professional to deepen in the use of these mechanisms. The program develops a solid and up-to-date training in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, which will help the sports professional to obtain the necessary competences and skills to identify and adequately solve different cases of pathologies and/or injuries for which this treatment can be effective.

The training begins with a brief historical overview of the beginning of Hyperbaric Medicine, the first indications of what would become a Hyperbaric chamber and the empirical discovery of the beneficial effects of the combination of increased pressure and oxygen on human physiology. The sports professional will learn about the beginning of the scientific period of Hyperbaric Medicine and the development of Underwater Medicine, as well as the accompaniment of Diving Medicine in the understanding and development of this treatment in different countries.

The basics of HBOT will also be presented in a practical and simple way. The physical laws of Henry, Dalton, and Boyle and Mariotte will be addressed with the objective of incorporating the concept of volumetric and solumetric effect. Likewise, the mathematical model of Krogh is presented, which allows to know the effect of oxygen perfusion radius at different treatment pressures. In addition, the different types of hypoxia are detailed so that the student can understand the hypoxic bases of the different pathologies and recognize the therapeutic applications of hyperoxia.

On the other hand, the specialist will learn, through this training, the most relevant physiological effects: vasoconstriction, angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, osteogenesis, neuroprotection, peripheral axonal regeneration, bactericidal effect, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect.
