This Expert Program is structured with a longitudinal focus on the rehabilitation of football players. Initially, it examines injury incidence and the specific characteristics of football-related injuries, establishing a solid reference framework for understanding the nature of the main issues affecting players.
Building on this foundation, the program advances to the study of the principles underpinning post-injury rehabilitation processes, integrating physiological, functional, and contextual criteria. This entire educational pathway is developed within an ecological perspective of the game and the player, which serves as a transversal axis for task design and content planning, ensuring that each intervention remains coherent with the real demands of the competitive environment.
