The study of musculoskeletal injuries via functional assessment with the use of ultrasound scanning and biomechanical material for the improvement of overall function and performance and the prevention of injuries.
Assessment of the body composition, the nutritional status and the effectiveness of substances that increase sports performance. Assessment and development of products aimed at ergogenic aid and high competition.
The identification of those products and methods that safely and effectively promote the increase of mental and motor performance and even stimulate its recovery in case of loss is necessary nowadays due to the diversity of offers, objectives and existing populations.
Ageing is a universal, intrinsic, progressive and deleterious process that can be influenced by appropriate behavioural habits, including the systematic practice of physical exercise. It is therefore crucial to identify effective and safe protocols.
Psychomotor aspects (motor skills) and their relation with psychosocial aspects in adolescents (e.g., self-concept) are analysed, analysing how both aspects interact.
The goal is to study the relationships between the motivational processes that occur in school and sport contexts and the performance, well-being and health behaviours of adolescents, in order to optimise these processes and their effects by promoting positive environments.
Physical activity patterns and their correlates and determinants.
Physical conditioning and motor rehabilitation in the aquatic environment is one of the applications that, when carried out in an appropriate manner, can stimulate performance and physical-sports recovery for any type of population and with the most diverse needs.
This line will analyse the effects of different physical exercise protocols on chronic non-specific pain in order to identify their efficacy on pain, quality of life, physical performance, body composition and other health markers.
The prescription of physical exercise programmes for the improvement of quality of life is important in different segments of our population. The safety and efficacy of such programmes should allow for an inclusive practice of all types of people with and without special adaptation needs.
This line of research explores the psychosocial processes, such as self-efficacy, confidence, self-concept, attributions, etc., that contribute to sport performance and satisfaction with the sport experience.

Biomechanical evaluation and analysis of any type of physical activity, especially during running, walking and cycling, as well as the analysis of sports activity from the applied perspective of sports biomechanics and physiological variables.
Evaluation and analysis of sports equipment and apparel materials, especially plantar supports, footwear, compressive fabrics, and other sports textile apparel materials.
Study of tendon pathologies in general and tendon injuries in sports in particular, and their recovery using a work methodology with physical activity.
