The group of students from the Master in High Performance Sport UCAM modality in English this week has collaborated with Professor Kevin McQuade, of Washington School of Medicine, in a study on biomechanics which aims to improve performance or avoid injury from the position taken by users on the machines of gyms.
Dr. McQuade has also taught some classes in this postgraduate Research Center for High Performance Catholic University of Murcia and in the UCAM Sports Center.
"He is a researcher with extensive international experience," says Emilio Pedro Alcaraz, director of the Master.
"Apart from publishing in the best journals of Sports Biomechanics in the world, is co-author of one of the reference articles in the field to calculate mathematical models to humans," he says.
Egypt, Burkina Faso and Ireland
The Master in high Performance Sport is one of the graduate degrees that UCAM has begun training in English for this course.
"We have students from Greece, Armenia, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Italy, Ireland, Portugal and Albania, in addition to four Spaniards," says Alcaraz.
"It is a very enriching experience, for an international environment is created in the Campus."
Destination Croatia
The international projection is therefore one of the main tasks carried out from this graduate degree.
In this sense, Pedro Emilio Alcaraz, director, participates as a guest speaker along with some of the best trainers of the moment, such as the selection of Croatian football or Italian basketball team during this weekend at the 12th International Conference on Physical Fitness, organized by the University of Zagreb, the European Association of Physical Fitness and the National Strength and Conditioning Association in Croatia.
