This Professional Certification is designed to strengthen professional profiles specifically focused on preventing injuries within a sports organization—or minimizing their impact—such as physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists, and strength and conditioning coaches.

The program begins by addressing the core knowledge areas that form the foundation of any injury prevention plan tailored to the demands of a specific sporting environment. This includes content modules on injury incidence and management, neuromuscular risk factors, and injury biomechanics.

The second module focuses on the implementation of injury prevention measures, covering post-exercise recovery strategies, an understanding of emotional and socio-affective factors that influence player health, and the application of osteopathy not only as a treatment tool but also as a preventive intervention.

The program then advances to training on innovation and technology in recovery and training, emphasizing their direct application to prevention. This includes the use of technologies for injury treatment, strength training as a key preventive quality, and immersive reality tools for performance assessment and monitoring.

The Certification concludes with a focus on developing athletes, addressing training and intervention strategies related to the prevention of muscular, tendinous, and joint injuries, ensuring professionals are fully equipped to protect and enhance player health throughout all stages of development.

This Professional Certification consists of 12 one-month courses, grouped into 4 three-month blocks. It grants— to those who meet the defined requirements— its corresponding online diploma, as well as the diplomas for the four “Expert Programs” that form part of it. The Professional Certification may be completed continuously or by blocks, according to the participant’s preference, with up to 24 consecutive months available to complete it from the time of enrollment.
