| Objective Objectives/Desired Results: |
The course is the basic background for understanding the need for exercise in patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), since exercise is an important form of intervention in reducing morbidity and mortality as well as improving quality of life. The course material is aimed at the acquisition
basic knowledge about the benefits of exercise in cardiorespiratory, metabolic and
musculoskeletal adaptations of both participating patients and healthy individuals as a means of prevention. It also refers to the multidisciplinary approach of rehabilitation programs for patients with MMN. In this sense, the course is the basis on which the student will develop skills aimed at approaching and communicating with
patients, as well as the provision of organized and effective assistance for the participation of patients in exercise and physical activity programs.General Skills
