Teachers and professionals show the students of the UCAM the great job opportunities offered by amateur sports and therapeutic physical activity
"When talking about sports nursing everybody thinks directly about elite sport and teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​the reality is very different because there are not so many elite teams and athletes. school, urban careers with thousands of amateurs and physical activity by medical prescription, I want to make the students see that knowledge in sports physiology can be applied in the clinic in the daily work ".
These words of Francisco Javier Llorente, president of the Spanish Association of Sports Nursing, summarize perfectly the spirit of the day held in the Assembly Hall, which has had professionals from different fields associated with sports nursing.
A good example is Leire Iglesias, who has been an international judoka participating in the Olympic Games in Beijing 08 and who currently practices as a nurse and claims a leading role in the sports field for her discipline, stressing that "we automatically think that an athlete must be healthy There is much more than physical performance and injuries, you have to monitor your hydration, nutrition, rest or the day-to-day guidelines that are what will make your physical performance better. "
Future Master in the UCAM: sports nursing
Javier Doménech, a professor at the UCAM and organizer of the day, has warned students that when thinking about sports nursing go beyond the big competitions, teams and athletes: "We want to make a point in the physical therapeutic exercise that is something very important where nursing plays a key role ".
In addition, Paloma Echevarría, dean of the Faculty of Nursing at the Catholic University, said that a postgraduate course linked to sports is being prepared: "We want to give a boost to sports nursing and that is why we are preparing an official master's degree in this specialty" .
