Physical exercise is essential to improve the quality of life of people with any type of pathology. Study with us and learn how to design the most effective routines for your clients"

The design of training programs involves a series of decisions regarding various processes: planning, periodization, programming and prescription. Specifically, this course will present all the criteria, based on evidence, that should be used to make operational decisions in relation to these processes and, thus, to design individualized training programs for each subject, taking into account their pathology. 

Therefore it’s a way for sports professionals to be able to adapt all their knowledge to the needs of each user, making it clear that not all exercises can be performed by people with different pathologies. And this is very necessary to be clear for professionals in this field, because just as exercise is beneficial for people, an overexertion or a badly applied technique can also harm them. Therefore, it is essential that personal trainers specialize to work with people with pathologies. 

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.
