Fitness assessment and sports advice based on physical capabilities
Sports Medicine supervises the selection process and medical examination with aptitude tests before practising physical activities and competition sport, to detect any alteration that could cause problems when carrying out certain types of exercise.
Physical capabilities or qualities are the various components of fitness, divided into motor skills, coordination and flexibility. These all need to be well balanced and constantly assessed so that we can provide regular advice to the patient and they can achieve the appropriate fitness for each challenge.
Specific goals are defined with the patient for a season or training period, and guidelines are drawn up to achieve them. Our work is based on devising personalised training, so it is important for the patient to gradually get to know their own body, and this is a major educational task.
