Sports Biomechanics and Physical Activity - GIBD

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2019-454

 
Description of research activity:
GIBD (Sports Biomechanics Research Group) is conceptualised as a research team within the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (Universitat de València), whose core work is developed in the field of biomechanics applied to physical activity and sport. Its research activity can be seen through different contributions in scientific publications (JCR), communications and papers at conferences of national and international relevance, as well as contributions to book chapters and even the group¿s own manuals on applied sports biomechanics. The main lines of research, materialised through contracts and projects in public calls and/or research contracts, are developed in three main areas: Sports material and equipment: plantar supports, compressive fabrics, and other textile clothing materials. Biomechanical analysis, especially in running, walking and cycling. Assessment and application of sport biomechanics and evaluation of physiological variables. The research activity developed is possible thanks to the knowledge and application of specific instrumentation in the area of sports biomechanics, with GIBD being at the forefront and expert in the application of...GIBD (Sports Biomechanics Research Group) is conceptualised as a research team within the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (Universitat de València), whose core work is developed in the field of biomechanics applied to physical activity and sport.

The research activity developed is possible thanks to the knowledge and application of specific instrumentation in the area of sports biomechanics, with GIBD being at the forefront and expert in the application of accelerometry, thermography, dynamometry, presurometry techniques, as well as the evaluation and analysis of the perception of comfort and fatigue during physical/sports activity. In particular, a large part of this research is based on the analysis and evaluation of products related to physical activity and sport (material and equipment). Since 2012 GIBD is located in the biomechanics laboratory of the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (Blasco Ibáñez Campus, Valencia), and since 2018 we also develop our research in the Biomechanics Laboratory of the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (Ontinyent Campus - Universitat de València).

Scientific-technical goals:
  • Evaluate, from a biomechanical perspective, variables that allow for the improvement of athletic performance.
  • Analyze those factors that allow reducing the risk of injury and improving physical and sporting practice from a sports technique and/or execution perspective.
  • Analyze sports equipment and materials, taking into account their properties from a sports biomechanics perspective, in order to improve sports performance and ensure optimal practice of physical activity.
 
Research lines:
  • Sports material and equipment.Evaluation and analysis of sports equipment and apparel materials, especially plantar supports, footwear, compressive fabrics and other sports textile apparel materials.
  • Sports biomechanical assessment and analysis.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.
