Gain advanced knowledge in the most specific exercises for people with obesity and diabetes so you can help these people improve their health" 

The Postgraduate diploma in Physical Exercise in Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes has been designed to specialize the personal trainer in the care and work with users with these pathologies, so that they can perform specific activities to help them improve their health. In this way, the program will present all the criteria, based on evidence, that should serve to make operational decisions regarding the design of exercise programs and, in this way, to design individualized training programs for each subject and their pathology, whether obesity or diabetes.

It should be taken into account that obesity has become one of the most frequent diseases in the world, although the most underestimated of all, being perceived by the population as a simple aesthetic problem. A sedentary lifestyle and an excessive and inadequate diet are two of the elements with the greatest impact on the development of this disease. However, the simplistic belief that an increase in physical activity and a decrease in intake is sufficient for its treatment has been seen as an ineffective treatment, given that the system in this pathological state does not respond in the same way. Therefore, in this Postgraduate Diploma, special emphasis will be placed on the planning and programming of training adjusted to the dysfunctionality of these individuals in order to generate perceptible changes in their health.

Although there is no single definition of metabolic syndrome, most international institutions define it as a disorder in which obesity, altered glucose levels, dyslipidemia and/or hypertension coexist. This scenario places us before a patient with an alteration at different levels that constitutes a health problem of the first order.

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder that causes hyperglycemia, due to the impossibility of the pancreas to secrete insulin or due to a defective action of insulin for various reasons. There are different types of Diabetes, the most frequent or known being Type I Diabetes and Type II Diabetes. In both cases, lifestyle is of great importance and should be adjusted to the specific needs of the disease, both from a nutritional and physical exercise point of view, which has been shown to be a very important tool as part of the treatment of diabetes, as long as it is carried out in an appropriate manner and knowing the difficulties and risks involved in the presence of hypo- and hyperglycemia.

In order to get qualified in this field, TECH has designed this Postgraduate Diploma, which has contents of the highest teaching and educational quality, which aims to turn students into successful professionals, following the highest quality standards in teaching at international level.
