hace 2 meses


Murcia, España UCAM Spanish Sports University A tiempo completo

This Master’s program qualifies the students to course a Phd program.

**Campus**: Murcia.

**Duration**: 1 Academic Year.

**Starting date**: January.

**Schedule**: From Wednesday to Friday from 09:00 - 14:00.

**Limited Places Available**: 25.

**Language of Instruction**: English or Spanish.

**Curriculum**:
**Module 1**:Research Methodology.**

The rationale for this module is to facilitate all students, some of who may not have the necessary research training, into the world of research methodology. It’ll provide the foundation necessary for students to conduct scientific work.

**Module 2: Research and Computer Methods in Strength and Conditioning.**

**Module 3: Scientific Principles of Strength and Conditioning.**

This module will cover: neural mechanisms involved in strength and power, recruitment of selective motor units, electromyography, increased firing frequency, total increase recruitment, mechanics involved in muscle strength and power, muscle hypertrophy, muscle fiber type, muscle protein expression, musculoskeletal stiffness, muscle architecture.

**Module 4: Exercise Physiology.**

This module seeks to examine the acute and chronic responses to anaerobic and aerobic training, specifically the endocrinological, biochemical, immunological, molecular and biological adaptations. Additionally, detraining and concurrent strength and endurance training will be studied.

**Module 5: Biomechanics and Movement Analysis.**

This module introduces students to the concepts that affect human movement, including the laws of physics, which govern the interaction of the human body with its environment, with particular reference to strength and conditioning exercises. The mechanics of the human body as a machine will be examined in detail.

**Module 6: Program Design as related to Strength and Conditioning.**

This module examines the advanced study of resistance training with specific emphasis on hypertrophy, strength and power. Topics that will be covered include: plyometrics, Olympic lifts and their variants, sport-specific resistance training and power optimization, and the theory and integration of the annual plan in relation to the preparation of elite athletes and teams.

**Module 7: Sports Nutrition and Ergogenic Aids.**

This module will review: the classification and function of essential nutrients during exercise, essential elements of an athlete’s diet, ergogenic aids, specific nutritional supply in different sports (e.g., endurance strength, team, combat), and food in special situations.

**Module 8: Strength Training and Conditioning in the Elderly.**

Module contents include: a) conditional evaluation of the elderly, b) changes in the anatomy and physiology of the organs and systems during the aging process, c) assessments of risk factors for coronary heart disease, other diseases and lifestyle, d) psychological aspects of aging, e) physical activity and its relationship to the diseases of aging, f) gait biomechanics, g) new methods of science-based training, and h) considerations for designing programs for older adults.

**Module 9: Practicum.**

The practicum builds upon and consolidates skills and knowledge acquired from the curriculum. Students further their understanding of theoretical concepts of strength and conditioning by developing and conducting their Master’s thesis project, under the guidance of an advisor in the related field of interest. Much of the weight of the practicum lies in conducting research practices.

**Module 10: Final Thesis.**

To obtain the Master’s Degree in High Performance Sport: Strength and Conditioning, all students must successfully pass the Master’s Thesis (MT). The MT should reflect the knowledge and skills acquired from the curriculum. The MT will be original, unpublished and will address issues related to the practices carried out during the Practicum. Students will publicly present and defend their Master’s thesis. Overall, the MT content and size must be proportional to 12 ECTS (300 hours).

**UCAM Spanish Sports University & Barça Innovation Hub**

Included in the price of the Master, you can enjoy the Certificate in Strength Training of Barça Innovation Hub, with the aim of learning first-hand from those in charge of strength training at F.C. Barcelona.

**NSCA**:
UCAM´s Master in High Performance Sports is one of the few postgraduate programs recognized in the world by NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association). This means that our program is a unique opportunity for students to become the most qualified individuals on the market when it comes to high performance sports.

Due to that recognition, you can get the chance of having the official book and the exam fee to obtain one of the NSCA certification (CPT or CSCS) included with the Master.
