Through this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will design exercise programs tailored to the individual needs and capabilities of your patients, taking into account their health status”

Muscular and Metabolic Physiology in relation to physical activity constitutes a dynamic and multifaceted field that offers important implications for nursing practice. From disease prevention to rehabilitation and management of chronic conditions, Exercise triggers a range of both physiological and metabolic responses that affect the overall well-being of individuals. Faced with these circumstances, specialists need to be aware of the latest scientific postulates in this area to intervene earlier in the detection and prevention of health problems related to physical activity (such as muscle injuries, excessive fatigue or metabolic imbalances). 

In view of this, TECH presents a complete and innovative Postgraduate certificate in Exercise-Related Muscular and Metabolic Physiology for Nursing. Conceived by references in this subject, the syllabus will delve into hormonal, ventilatory and cardiovascular adaptations related to sports practice. This will enable specialists to perform holistic assessments of their patients' clinical status. Likewise, the academic content will focus on aspects such as phosphagen metabolism, energy sources or amino acid oxidation. In this way, graduates will plan exercise programs tailored to the specific needs of users, bearing in mind both their current health status and their goals. In addition, a prestigious International Guest Director will offer a thorough master class to provide the best strategies to advise users on the importance of Exercise to optimize their quality of life.

On the other hand, this university program will be taught 100% online, which will provide nurses with the ease of being able to carry out their studies. To do so, all they will need is an electronic device connected to the Internet (their cell phone, tablet or computer) to access the Virtual Campus. There they will find both academic materials and additional multimedia resources that will serve to strengthen their knowledge in a dynamic way.

A renowned International Guest Director will offer a comprehensive Masterclass that will help nurses optimize their clinical competencies”

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Nutrition and Dietetics
• 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 self-assessment can be used 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 Carbohydrate Mobilization during physical activity and its benefits to facilitate patient recovery”

The program's teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who bring to this course the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists.
of reference 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.  

You will explore the interaction between exercise and health, including the effects of sports practice in the management of chronic diseases such as Diabetes or Obesity"

You will access a learning system based on repetition, with natural and progressive learning throughout the program"

With this program, nurses will have a solid understanding of Muscular and Metabolic Physiology in response to Exercise. The program will analyze cardiovascular, ventilatory and hormonal adaptations related to sports practice. In this way, graduates will perform more holistic and accurate evaluations of the physical condition of patients. In addition, the syllabus will go deeper into issues such as the lactic threshold, carbohydrate metabolism or mixed bioenergetics of muscle fibers. Therefore, graduates will develop competencies in the design of personalized exercise programs to improve the health and physical function of users.

You will integrate Exercise as an integral part of the holistic care of your patients, recognizing its importance in the prevention and management of muscle diseases”
