GIAPAFED aims to pursue advanced research and intervention in the different contexts of physical activity, exercise and sport, with particular emphasis on the contexts of sport training and physical education contexts, studying the processes of social influence by analysing the main agents of sport socialisation (i.e., parents, coaches, physical education teachers and peers).

Similarly, the group aims to encourage and promote the positive development of young people in training by deepening the study and intervention on psychosocial variables related to these processes of social influence.
