Description of research activity:
The present research group is a group that was created after having been collaborating previously, in some cases, for more than a decade. In general, this has already resulted in the production of several doctoral, master's and degree theses, as well as many other scientific papers presented at international congresses. It is worth mentioning that its members are currently jointly undertaking research projects obtained from public calls for research proposals. It also should be noted that, as a result of the hard work of its researchers, hundreds of articles have been published and indexed in the Journal Citation Reports. The research activity of this group focuses on the analysis and development of conditioning and physical exercise protocols and activities that can have positive effects on health, and its preservation, in different groups, i.e., from athletes to sedentary people. The concept of health analysed in this group is one that integrates the holistic conception of the human being, i.e. it contemplates the physical, psychological and social dimensions, addressing how physical exercise can prevent illness and promote health in such different social segments and in all...The present research group is a group that was created after having been collaborating previously, in some cases, for more than a decade.

The research activity of this group focuses on the analysis and development of conditioning and physical exercise protocols and activities that can have positive effects on health, and its preservation, in different groups, i.e., from athletes to sedentary people. The concept of health analysed in this group is one that integrates the holistic conception of the human being, i.e. it contemplates the physical, psychological and social dimensions, addressing how physical exercise can prevent illness and promote health in such different social segments and in all types of populations, such as population with special needs (physically, mentally and sensorially disabled, people with metabolic, pulmonary, osteomuscular, psychological dysfuncctions, etc.), as well as human beings in their different evolutionary stages, such as childhood, adolescence, adulthood (special processes such as pregnancy, pre- and post- menopause) and old age. Important milestones to be evaluated, which are already being studied, are the influence of physical exercise and sport, as well as their absence, on oxidative stress, the immune system, the lipid profile, the perception of well-being, cognitive, social and personality deterioration, acute and chronic pain, body composition (fat, muscle mass and bone mass), and motor and functional performance. In addition to these milestones, the research action also aims to evaluate what kind of programmes, materials and aspects of dietary supplementation could be more effective and safe to improve overall health and motor performance. In addition to all these milestones, and as mentioned above, the research group already has extensive scientific experience. As a result, numerous scientific and informative papers have been published, as well as active participation in committees, conferences and seminar of international relevance. In fact, several social media outlets have highlighted our findings and several private companies are collaborating in several ways to support our research work.

Scientific-technical goals:
  • Evaluar los efectos sobre la prevencion de la enfermedad y la mejora y mantenimiento de la salud de diversos protocolos de ejercicio fisico
  • Evaluar los efectos sobre la prevencion de la enfermedad y la mejora y mantenimiento de la salud de diversos materiales y suplementos
  • Identificar que protocolos de ejercicio fisico y tipo de materiales tendran un una mejor influencia para un envejecimiento saludable
  • Identificar que protocolos de ejercicio fisico y tipo de materiales tendran un mejor efecto en la percepcion de bienestar y calidad cognitiva
 
Research lines:
  • Healthy ageing.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.
  • Efficiency and safety of products and methods for physical and mental performance enhancement and or/recovery.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.
  • Physical conditioning and motor re-adaptation in the aquatic environment.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.
  • Physical exercise prescription in apparently healthy populations with special needs.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.
  • Physical exercise in chronic pain.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.
