Designing exercise programs requires a high degree of specialization to adapt them to the needs of each user"

This Postgraduate diploma has been created with the aim of training personal trainers who work with people with different pathologies, so that physical exercise can help them overcome their illness or, at least, improve their quality of life.  

The design of training programs involves a series of decisions regarding several processes: planning, periodization, programming and prescription. This Postgraduate diploma will present all the criteria, based on evidence, that should be used to make operational decisions in relation to these processes and, in this way, to design individualized training programs for each subject and their pathology. 

Specifically, emphasis will be placed on the design of exercise programs for pregnancy, as well as for children, youth and the elderly. In this way, in the case of pregnant women, the different morphophysiological adaptations observed will be studied, with emphasis on their repercussions on physical exercise plans. Postural modifications and care as well as motor control adjustments will be essential as the pregnancy progresses. 

In the case of children and adults, the main characteristics of each of these stages will be studied based on their morphofunctional changes, the incidence of Neurosciences and Nutrition with the objective of programming training sessions respecting the individuality of the physical workload.  
To train you in this field, at TECH we have designed this Postgraduate diploma, which has contents of the highest teaching and educational quality, which aims to turn our students into successful professionals, following the highest quality standards in teaching at international level. In addition, as it is an online training, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life.
