The Postgraduate diploma allows learning in simulated environments, which provide immersive learning programmed to train in real situations”

Strength training for athletes is a fundamental element in the prevention and treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases. Clinical training supervised by a physiotherapist decreases muscle weakness and injury risk, as it is an effective method to increase muscle mass and strength. 

In this high-level specialization, special emphasis will be placed on identifying the main skills, classifying and ordering them, in order to propose efficient methodological proposals based on their understanding. 

Throughout these months, the fundamental components of complex dynamic systems in sports training will be analyzed, delving not only into each of them, but also into each interaction and how they constantly modify our environment. The means and methods of strength training for the development of the different phases of speed will also be described.
