There has been a gradual increase in healthier sporting habits, as well as greater demands in high-performance sports, making the role played by sports nurses even more crucial to any institution or team. Their work in assisting and preventing common sports injuries, as well as their ability to coordinate sporting events of various kinds, positions them favorably in a professional sense providing them with good prospects for the future.

This program includes modules that cover the nutritional, psychological and pathological aspects of the athlete from an innovative and modern perspective and based on the most up-to-date scientific theories and studies.
