Thirty specialists will be in charge of giving lectures. Among them, members of the Brazilian National Team’s medical department, comprised by physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian, physician Rodrigo Lasmar, physiotherapist Ricardo Sasaki and physiologist Guilherme Passos. The ‘Canarinho’ team’s commission will address the subject "From call-up to match".
– With this third edition, CBF creates a symposium specifically for football physicians, inviting highly specialized and renowned professionals both from Brazil and abroad, and addressing commonplace situations in daily football. From the simplest surgeries and treatments to those that require the latest in technology. Always striving for improving treatment conditions and, consequently, the athlete’s physical integrity – remarked physician Jorge Pagura, president of the CNMF.
The following are some of the lectures to be given at the Symposium: “Injuries of the upper limb, body and basin”; “Doping: from pitch to court”; “Concussion in football athletes”; Club Licensing - What Matters to DM?”; “Muscle injuries and stress fractures (foot, ankle and knee)”. Two videoconference talks with special subjects are also on the agenda: “Supplements and vitamins” (with John Lewis of Ultrafarma) and “Sudden Death” (with Jens Kleinefeld of FIFA).
