Relevancia de la formación sobre ejercicio físico y deporte en los planes de estudio de fisioterapia

Physiotherapy and physical exercise have a historical and conceptual relationship. Current considerations about health and quality of life connect those aspects with physical exercise and sports as strategy for populations well-being. The aim is to valuate the relevance of physical exercise content in the physiotherapy degrees at Spanish universities. The results show that from 72 subjects related to physical exercise/sport, most of them optative subjects, 32 are named Sport Physiotherapy including mainly physiotherapeutic techniques to treat sport injuries but aspects as preventive exercise, physical exercise for maintenance of health or disabled sports are not so generalized.
