This 100% online Postgraduate certificate will allow you to balance your studies with your professional work while increasing your knowledge in this field”

In recent years, strength training has burst with great impetus in the scientific community, , covering multiple contexts ranging from sports performance in time and brand sports, to situational sports through the whole range of sports modalities.

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. Moreover, today sprint training is not only seen in isolation as an object of performance improvement, but is also considered to have a remarkable protective effect due to its higher level of electrical activity in the hamstrings than other means of training.

Students of this Postgraduate certificate will have a differentiating qualification with respect to their professional colleagues, being able to perform in all areas of sport as a specialist in Strength Training.
