This CU of the 2nd cycle in Sports Training in Football, scientific area of Sport Sciences, aims to acquire updated knowledge and skills, addressing the main issues of Physiology and Traumatology applied to Football Training. It is intended that students know the physiological, functional and organic changes resulting from the practice of different types of training, and the main traumatological characteristics typical of the modality. The acquisition of this knowledge - based on the most recent scientific evidence - is crucial for the competent performance of training prescription and guidance, for the design of training programs for the improvement of physical and physiological performance, and for the primary and/or secondary prevention of football-related injuries.
