Human Movement Analysis Group - HuMAG

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2016-306

 
Description of research activity:
This research group is interested in the analysis of human movement related to motor control and physical activity from a health perspective. Therefore, its interest is focused both on the dynamic, kinematic and electromyographic analysis during the performance of activities such as static balance and gait and the analysis of the amount of physical activity (voluntary movement) performed by people and the relationship of this with their health. On the other hand, the group also conducts research in other areas related to physical exercise, applying advanced data analysis techniques (e.g. neural networks, text mining, data mining). During the last 5 years the research group has published around 40 articles indexed in JCR, of which we highlight the following 5 for their importance in the opinion of the members of the group: González, L.-M., García-Massó, X., Pardo-Ibañez, A., Peset, F., & Devís-Devís, J.

Scientific-technical goals:
  • Analizar la evolucion del control postural en niños y adolescentes debida a los procesos de maduracion
  • Establecer las sinergias musculares que se establecen durante tareas de equilibrio estatico y dinamico
  • Determinar los efectos de diferentes facilitadores del aprendizaje motor y sus posibles interrelaciones (e.g. feedback o foco de atencion)
  • Conocer la cantidad de actividad fisica que realizan diferentes poblaciones y su relacion con la salud
  • Analizar las relaciones entre movilidad urbana no motorizada y las variables sociodemograficas de la poblacion urbana.
 
Research lines:
  • Analysis of postural control in different populations.To assess the postural control of different populations as well as its evolution during childhood and adolescence.
  • Physical activity as a protective health factor in special populations.In this line of research, studies are carried out to quantify the habitual physical activity of groups of people with some special situation, usually a pathology that affects the musculoskeletal system. In this way, the aim is to establish the effect of the practice of physical activity on parameters related to the health and functionality of these people.
  • Urban mobility: non-motorised transport.Studies on non-motorised urban mobility: evaluation and comparison of transport networks, socio-demographic and environmental analysis of network use, influence of urban planning on transport, energy consumption and CO2 savings.
