OBJECTIVES OF THE SEEDBED

"SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY"

PROMOTE THE ADVANCEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE

The Semillero's main objective is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of Sports Physiotherapy, through rigorous research and the exploration of new techniques and therapeutic approaches.

DEVELOP SKILLS IN SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY

It seeks to provide its members, both students and professionals, with comprehensive and specialized training in Sports Physiotherapy, focused on understanding the injuries and specific needs of athletes.

INVESTIGATE INJURY PREVENTION STRATEGIES

El Semillero is committed to researching and developing effective injury prevention strategies in the sports context, thus contributing to the health and athletic performance of athletes.

OPTIMIZE SPORTS REHABILITATION

It focuses on improving the rehabilitation processes of sports injuries, researching therapies and protocols that accelerate recovery and allow a safe return to sport.

COLLABORATE WITH ATHLETES AND SPORTS TEAMS

El Semillero aspires to establish collaborations with athletes, coaches and sports teams to apply their knowledge in real situations and contribute to the success and well-being of athletes.

SPREAD KNOWLEDGE

It seeks to share the results of its research and experiences through scientific publications, presentations at conferences and outreach activities, with the aim of enriching the academic and sports community.

PROMOTE INTERDISCIPLINARITY

Recognizing the importance of collaboration between disciplines, the Semillero promotes interaction with other fields such as sports medicine, nutrition and sports psychology to comprehensively address health and athletic performance.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATION OF THE SEEDBED IN

"SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY"

The conceptual and theoretical bases of the “SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY” Seedbed are based on the following aspects:

Holistic Approach to Athlete Care

Athlete care must take a holistic approach that considers not only physical injuries but also emotional and psychological aspects. Authors such as Andersen et al. (2020) highlight the importance of addressing the comprehensive well-being of athletes to improve their performance and prevent injuries.

Functional Assessment and Movement

Functional evaluation and movement analysis are fundamental in Sports Physiotherapy. Authors such as Cook et al. (2017) have developed biomechanics-based approaches to identify musculoskeletal imbalances and design targeted treatment and prevention programs.

Science-Based Rehabilitation

Sports Physiotherapy is based on updated scientific evidence. Authors such as Huard et al. (2019) highlight the importance of continued research to support clinical decisions and the effectiveness of interventions in athlete rehabilitation.

Technology and Continuous Monitoring

Technology plays a growing role in Sports Physiotherapy. Authors such as Wilkerson et al. (2021) highlight the usefulness of monitoring and recording tools to evaluate athletes' progress and adjust treatment programs in real time.

Athlete Education and Empowerment

Authors such as McCall et al. (2018) emphasize the importance of educating athletes about injury prevention and self-care. Empowering athletes through understanding their own body is an essential component of modern Sports Physiotherapy.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Interdisciplinary collaboration with other health professionals is essential. Authors such as Smith et al. (2020) highlight how effective communication between physical therapists, sports doctors, and coaches can significantly improve athlete care.

Ethics and Emphasis on Sports Integrity

Ethics and integrity in sport are current concerns. Authors such as Waddington et al. (2019) discuss the importance of physiotherapy in promoting ethical sports practices and addressing issues such as doping and fair play

These conceptual and theoretical bases provide a solid frame of reference for the activities of the “Fisiomed” Seedbed, allowing the exploration, research and application of knowledge and techniques in the field of physiotherapy, with the aim of contributing to well-being and health. of people

RESEARCH PROJECTS

WHICH ARE IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTATION FROM THE SEEDBED

"Effectiveness of Injury Prevention Programs"

To evaluate the effectiveness of specific injury prevention programs in particular sports, such as football or basketball, and analyze their impact on the reduction of musculoskeletal injuries.

"Biomechanics of Sports Technique"

Perform a biomechanical analysis of movement technique in specific sports, such as throwing in baseball or jumping technique in volleyball, to better understand the loads and forces involved.

"Effects of Manual Therapy on Athletes"

To investigate the effects of manual therapy, such as myofascial release therapy or osteopathic manipulation, on athlete recovery and performance.

"Optimizing Post-Injury Recovery"

Investigate specific injuries associated with high-risk sports such as skateboarding or snowboarding, and develop prevention and treatment strategies.

"Aquatic Therapy in Athletes"

To evaluate the benefits of aquatic therapy in the rehabilitation and conditioning of athletes, especially in sports with significant joint impact.

"Evaluation of Physical Condition in High Level Athletes"

Develop specific fitness assessment protocols for elite athletes and analyze how these parameters affect performance and injury prevention.

"Nutrition and Sports Performance"

Explore the relationship between nutrition, body composition and sports performance, and develop specific recommendations for athletes.

"Injury Management in Endurance Sports"

Investigate the management of chronic injuries and overload in endurance sports such as cycling and triathlon, and develop prevention and treatment strategies.

"Effects of Sports Psychology on Recovery"

Study how sports psychology, including motivation and stress management, can influence injury recovery and subsequent performance
