The most up-to-date academic training provided by outstanding teachers experienced in the world of sports and academia" 

In recent years, speed training, especially its acceleration phase, has become very popular, perhaps as a result of the great records of the best specialists in the sports arena or because of the enormous impact it has begun to have in team sports, especially in rugby and soccer. This is evidenced, above all, in the increased distances covered at high intensity, in sprints and in accelerations and decelerations that occur in matches. At the same time, due to the high intensity demands of the game, an increasing number of hamstring injuries are observed, 57% of which occur during sprints. It is therefore vital that athletes develop correct mechanics, not only to be more efficient and perform better, but also to reduce the risk of injury. 

This course provides detailed training on key aspects of sports performance, treated with a unique didactic and depth in the current academic offer. Each subject will be taught by true specialists in the field, which guarantees the highest level of knowledge in the subject. 

This course in Speed Training from Theory to Practice will provide the student with theoretical contents of the highest quality and depth. One of the characteristics that differentiate this course from others is the relationship between the different topics of the program at a theoretical level but, above all, at a practical level, making the student obtain real examples of teams and athletes of the highest sports performance worldwide, as well as from the professional world of sports, resulting in the student being able to build knowledge in the most complete way.   

Another strong point of this course inSpeed Training from Theory to Practice is the training of the student in the use of new technologies applied to Sports Performance.
