Cribado y emergencia en la sala

A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional, grado superior), module 1136 Valoracion de la condicion fisica e intervencion en accidentes of the Tecnico Superior en Acondicionamiento Fisico (Real Decreto 651/2017) and the Tecnico Superior en Ensenanza y Animacion Sociodeportiva (Real Decreto 653/2017).

The learner is Lucia Barandiaran, a newly qualified trainer who runs the intake and the emergency protocol of a fictional municipal gym in 2027: 1,200 new members. Four situations set the centre's protocol: pre-exercise screening (PAR-Q+) and the fitness tests, a faint in a cycling class and the return to exercise, a cardiac arrest in the free-weights room and the AED, the emergency plan and the review of the year.

Screening first prevents the emergency you would otherwise have to handle. Scored on cases handled correctly, time to act, unsafe-effort exposures and new members lost; training-level decision practice that complements practical life-support training on a manikin; no drugs, doses or diagnosis.

Two hard-fails cap the round at 40: a maximal exercise test for every new member whatever the screening (module 1136, learning outcome 4) and the recovery position for someone who does not respond and is gasping (learning outcome 8; ERC Guidelines 2025: gasping is not normal breathing, start CPR and use the AED). Spanish primary, English parity.

An introductory simulation that assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, designed for undergraduate courses. It also works in vocational and high-school programmes and in onboarding sessions.
