This academic program offers the student in-depth knowledge in certain pathologies, such as metabolic syndrome, obesity or special conditions such as pregnancy, or other frequent cases in the day-to-day life of a Fitness Instructor and whose knowledge is ignored by the majority since it is not taught in most basic careers.  

Among them is obesity, which has become one of the most common 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. 

In the same way, the training process will also be addressed in different age stages such as infant, juvenile and elderly. The main characteristics of each of these stages will be broken down based on their morpho-functional changes, the incidence of neurosciences and nutrition with the objective of programming training sessions respecting the individuality of the physical workload. 

Finally, during the Postgraduate diploma, the contents associated with the state of pregnancy will be addressed. Throughout the classes, the different morphophysiological adaptations that are observed will be studied and emphasis will be placed on their repercussions on physical exercise plans. Postural modifications and care will be essential, as well as motor control adjustments as the pregnancy progresses. Possible pathologies, care and contraindications during this process as well as responses and adaptations to physical exercise will be taken into consideration. Lastly, the assigning a physical exercise program will be studied, dividing it into the three characteristic trimesters and a no less important proposal for the postpartum period.
