Presentation

It is a research group that focuses its research on the measurement of physical activity and sport, this line of research means an increase in the credibility, objectivity and advancement of the scientific method applied to sport . This constitutes a very young but continuously growing scientific branch, as it focuses on the measurement applied to sport, providing the sum of knowledge, evidence, dissemination and transfer of sport technology and vice versa.

 

 

Areas of research

 

  • Study of the variability of human movement through nonlinear analyses applied to sport, health and motor functionality
  • Development and validation of technological solutions applied to health, sports and digital monitoring
  • Advanced load and fatigue monitoring for injury prevention and functional performance improvement in health and sports
  • Promotion of healthy lifestyles and physical activity to improve health and social well-being
  • Research into inclusive and adapted sport for equity in access to physical activity and health
