Postgraduate in Physical Activity and Sport

Are you interested in doing postgraduate work in physical sport and activity? This original and thorough postgraduate course addresses the health benefits of physical activity for pro athletes as well as for all those who practise competitive or non-competitive sports.Interest in competition sports has increased substantially in recent years. The road to high-performance is a long and trying one, and must come as the result of both athletic talent and arduous training that often goes on for years. It is crucial for physiotherapists who work in this area to know the limits of this strenuous training in order to consider its potential impacts on the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of stress after recovering from injury.In the healing process, precision is key, so physiotherapists need to have basic knowledge of the injuries that most commonly result from different sports and physical activities. The UIC postgraduate course is based on the belief that with the proper training, physiotherapists can meaningfully and expertly contribute to athletes’ health and performance.Monitoring athletes’ health as well as their athletic performance is primary in effectively preparing them for training and competition. Proper care ensures that the athlete will smoothly resume regular physical activities with the greatest performance possible, thereby minimising the risk of possible injury relapse.
