Aim: To determine the relationship between learning styles and the need for restructuring learning strategies among university students of first year from Bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Kinesiology, at Hector A. Barceló Foundation, IUCS, Santo Tomé, Corrientes, from the model of the neuro-linguistic programming. Subjects and methods: A descriptive, analytical, and transversal study was performed in August 2014, through non-probability intentional sampling with regular students of both sexes. The variables considered were styles of learning strategies and learning factors. Results: 114 students were assessed and it was found a predominance of auditory style learning. It was found, in addition, a significant relationship between learning styles and the need for restructuring the strategies used by the students (χ2 = 11.44; p = 0.003). 95% of students needed restructure four or more strategies and factors of learning areas. Conclusions: It is essential that teachers perform a self-analysis of their learning styles to understand their decisions in classroom and best teaching strategies for student's learning. Although, the auditory style in the group dominated, it's necessary to encourage the practice of educational methodologies that tend to make the student use the three systems of representation, so that they can develop those that are sub-utilized.
