HLA San Carlos Dénia launches the new Sports Medicine Unit 'HLA Sport'
The HLA Group's purpose is to take care of the health of its users before the illness, that is, it is committed to prevention beyond restoring their health. Along these lines, HLA San Carlos Dénia has implemented the new HLA Sport unit, the brand under which the HLA units that ensure safe sports practice come together.
The HLA San Carlos Sports Unit covers two levels of specialization: one basic and one advanced. In the case of the basic level, the service is aimed at ensuring healthy sports practice in non-professional athletes, young people and adults, to detect the existence of risk factors, assessment of body composition with nutritional contribution and podiatric study of walking or running. . At the second level, sports pathology and associated risk factors are monitored. In these cases, the team involved in the process is made up of sports medicine specialists, cardiologists, traumatologists, nutritionists, rehabilitators and podiatrists.
The entire unit is coordinated by a sports medicine professional with extensive experience in the development of skills of elite athletes, Dr. Francisco Clemente Ramón, who affirms that the importance of "Follow some basic recommendations before the start of a sports practice such as confirming an optimal state of health and advice with a professional technician to prepare a training plan, according to our state of health and initial physical form".
Regarding the initial phase, Dr. Clemente ensures that any type of sports practice should be an effort but at the same time an enjoyment in line with the result that we want to obtain, always without obsessing with the results. "Only if you enjoy comfort is obtained in each session and for this we must have the ability to stimulate and encourage us through a sports coach to guide us at the beginning. We must assess the athlete in all its facets: age, sex, work, state of health, exercise that you want to practice, level that you exercise, to establish a personalized nutritional plan and adapted to your characteristics because an amateur athlete will need nutritional contributions other than another that has deepened more in practice ".
The benefits of sports practice will begin to be noticed normally within a month of starting always taking into account the two fundamental premises described above since the fundamental objective is to promote health. "The sport does not have to be healthy, but it is the practice of physical exercise to maintain and / or improve our previous state of health. Any sport can be healthy if you take into account the state of health appropriate to the practice and the advice of a professional "He concludes the doctor.
