The lecture was presented by Dr.
Carlos Jiménez Amaro, a leading Cuban specialist in Sports Medicine
and responsible for the same area at the Baja California
Sports and Physical Culture Institute.
One of the main points of this work
session consisted in the preparation of both players and game plans
during training and competition initial cycles as well as the
so-called macrocycles that are part of international
tournaments.
Jiménez Amaro, who has a vast
experience as a medical delegate in his native country and in other
nations of the American continent, including Mexico, remarked how
important is prophylactic and physiological knowledge, as well as
prevention of injuries.
All these elements, he stated, are
a good influence in both individual and collective
performances. "A synergy and constant communication between
coaches and the specialists such as sports doctors, along with a
multidisciplinary plan are key in achieving results," he
explained.
The course activities continued
with practical sessions on the court. Through them, the
applicants to Level II continue with this learning process prior to
the evaluations and certification tests that will take place in the
final phase.
