Thanks to this 100% online program, you will design advanced exercise programs based on the principles of Muscular and Metabolic Physiology to help your patients optimize their wellbeing”

Skeletal musculature is not only responsible for the generation of strength and movement, but also plays a crucial role in joint stabilization and injury prevention. In this context, understanding both the physiological processes underlying muscle development and adaptation in response to physical exercise is key to designing effective rehabilitation programs. Therefore, it is important for physical therapists to frequently update their knowledge and skills and stay at the forefront of the latest techniques in the field.

With this in mind, TECH is launching an innovative program in Exercise-Related Muscular and Metabolic Physiology for Physical Therapists. Its objective is to analyze the physiological mechanisms that regulate muscle function during exercise and their relevance to the clinical practice of Physical Therapy. The academic itinerary will delve into the cardiovascular, ventilatory and hormonal adaptations referred to sports practice. In line with this, the syllabus will delve into the structure of muscles, the lactic threshold and phosphagen metabolism. In this way, graduates will gain the skills to perform comprehensive muscle assessments to identify muscle imbalances that require therapeutic interventions. In addition, a distinguished International Guest Director will offer a master class where he will help students develop personalized exercise programs.

On the other hand, the structure of the university program has been designed under the pedagogical methodology of Relearning, which consists of the directed reiteration of the concepts of the syllabus through dynamic academic resources. In addition, it offers a 100% online modality, which means that physiotherapists will be able to access the contents from anywhere in the world and at any time. The only thing specialists will need is an electronic device with an Internet connection to access the Virtual Campus and enjoy the most dynamic academic content on the market.

A prestigious International Guest Director will give an enriching Masterclass to analyze the latest scientific postulates in Muscular and Metabolic Physiology”

This Postgraduate certificate in Exercise-Related Muscular and Metabolic Physiology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of practical case studies presented by experts in Sports Nutrition 
  in Specific Populations
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents with which it is conceived gather scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are indispensable for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will delve into Phosphagen Metabolism to effectively treat fatigue-related muscle injuries”

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the industry who contribute their work experience to this program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Do you want to acquire skills to interpret and analyze physiological data related to exercise? Achieve it with this program"

You will have access to a learning system based on repetition, with natural and progressive teaching throughout the entire syllabus"

With this program, physiotherapists will acquire detailed knowledge of the structure and function of muscles and their adaptation to physical exercise. The syllabus will go in depth into cardiovascular, ventilatory and hormonal adaptations related to sports activity. In turn, the syllabus will analyze both muscle structure and types of muscle fibers, which will allow students to accurately assess injuries. The academic content will also examine Mixed Bioenergetics so that graduates can optimize the treatment of muscle injuries and adapt rehabilitation programs to minimize the risk of recurrent injuries.

You will analyze how muscle function and metabolism interact during physical activity and influence athletic performance”
