Physiotherapists specialized in Equine Rehabilitation will have more potential for success in their treatments with sport horses"

With an adequate and individualized planning of the horse's training, it will be possible to achieve the maximum performance of the animal, as well as to reduce the appearance of possible pathologies. Before programming a training program, it is necessary to know what level of physical fitness a particular horse is starting from. To do this, a stress test must be designed according to the type of discipline in which the horse competes, selecting the parameters to be measured and interpreting the results. Based on these data, a training program can be designed more precisely, a reduced fitness level can be detected and the possible causes can be investigated before the appearance of pathologies with clinical manifestations, and the rider can be advised, helping to establish a competition strategy. In addition, controlling the training intensity reduces the risk of overtraining.

There are several pathologies linked to physical activity, such as heat stroke, rhabdomyolysis, exhaustion syndrome, water and electrolyte disorders, cardiac arrhythmias, synchronous diaphragmatic flutter. Therefore, it is important to know how to act in the face of exhaustion syndrome, not only with respect to treatment, but also to the establishment of effective preventive measures.  

This postgraduate certificate provides students with specialized tools and skills to successfully develop their professional activity, work on key competencies such as knowledge of the reality and daily practice of the veterinary professional, and develop responsibility in the monitoring and supervision of their work, as well as communication skills within the essential teamwork. 

In addition, as it is an online course, 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.
