Improve your skills in designing exercise routines for people with respiratory pathologies and add value to your professional career"

The Postgraduate certificate in Respiratory Diseases and Physical Exercise is especially aimed at sports science professionals who want to work with people suffering from these diseases. For this, it is essential that they have extensive knowledge in this field in order to offer personalized treatment to users. 
The pathologies covered in this program affect the respiratory tract, including the nasal passages, bronchi and lungs. This course includes chronic diseases such as Asthma (airway inflammation) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, which is an inflammatory lung disease characterized by persistent reduction of airflow). 

Therefore, the characteristics of each pathology and the fundamental criteria for intervention through physical exercise programs in this population will be defined in detail, also considering the important role of lifestyle modification in the intervention. In addition, special emphasis will be placed on planning and programming training programs adjusted to the dysfunctionality of these individuals in order to generate perceptible changes in their health, as well as to create healthy life habits that they will be able to maintain for the rest of their lives.  

To specialize you in this field, at TECH we have designed this course, which has contents of the highest teaching and educational quality, which aims to turn our students into successful professionals, following the highest quality standards in teaching at international level. In addition, as it is an online program, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but 
can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life 
with their academic life.  

People with respiratory pathologies need to do exercises adapted to their physical conditions, so it is important that they have specialized trainers"
