Sport Medicine

CETHA members specialization on work physiology has also allowed them to become professional on sports. This by staying at the Centro de salud Deportiva de la Universidad de Puerto Rico and working with sport professional teams from the following areas:

	Football
	Badminton
	Tennis
	Judo
	Athletics
	Cycling
	Climbing

Evaluations both inside the hipobaric camera through ergoespirometry equipment as Quark-2 (picture) or on field such as K-4 (picture) have allowed us to provide training support for important sport people as:

	Universidad Católica Climbing Group that climbed the Everest and K2
	The Army Climbing school Expedition
	Jonathan Monje (athlete from Chile Top program)
	Badminton players.
	Club de Deportes Antofagasta
Others who are fully developing under their areas.

In CETHA we perform anaerobic and aerobic evaluations in the lab and out in the field or court.

Anthropometric measures are carried out defining the body mass, fat percentage, waist-hip factor, somatic protein, body liquid distribution (intra and extra cell liquid).

Sport injuries: Evaluation and treatment.

We support DIGEDER II region and established a cooperation agreement to support both sport and work areas.

In 1998 we organized the international course of nutrition, physiology and exercise in altitude in cooperation with Universidad de Antofagasta y Puerto Rico and we won the first prize for research contribution in Congreso Chileno de Ciencias del Ejército.

In 1999, the seminars on "sport injuries" and "Spots at work" were organized with the Universidad de Puerto Rico.
