The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Data related to research groups featured in various information dissemination channels shall not, under any circumstances, imply a statement or commitment regarding the employment or academic affiliation of individuals associated with the Universitat de València.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: The research group ¿Physical Activity, Education and Society¿ has been working together since 1997, when a core group of professors with common interests founded the former Research Group UV 0657 (transferred to the Office of the Vice-Principal for Research). The research activity resulting from this group was an important piece in the development of an emerging field of knowledge in the Spanish context. Educational research on curricular innovations in Physical Education, research on prisons and their link with physical exercise and sport, and the evaluation of scientific production and dissemination in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences stand out. Over the years, new members and external collaborators have joined and contributed to consolidate this initial activity. In recent years, research has focused on vulnerable populations, including people with disabilities, teenagers and transgender people, among others. Likewise, the research methodology used encompasses both qualitative and quantitative methodology. The work of the group is aimed at:
To study social phenomena in the field of physical activity and physical education.
To create knowledge in relation to vulnerable...The research group ¿Physical Activity, Education and Society¿ has been working together since 1997, when a core group of professors with common interests founded the former Research Group UV 0657 (transferred to the Office of the Vice-Principal for Research).

To study social phenomena in the field of physical activity and physical education.
To create knowledge in relation to vulnerable groups in the field of physical activity.
To disseminate and transfer research results aimed at social transformation. On the other hand, the group carries out an important task of research training, participating in the direction, coordination and operation of the ¿Master¿s Degree in Research and Intervention in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences¿, the ¿Master¿s Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training¿, the ¿Master¿s Degree in Research in Specific Didactics¿, the ¿Doctoral Programme in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences¿ and the ¿Doctoral Programme in Specific Didactics¿. The group has research staff in training, and regularly receives students from other universities, both national and foreign who carry out research stays. This way, the group endorses its ability to give continuity to its lines of research and to transfer scientific knowledge to the academic and professional community.[Read more][Hide]

Scientific-technical goals: - Estudiar els fenomens socials i culturals al voltant de l'activitat fisica i l'esport en contextos educatius (Educacio Fisica), d'oci i salut.
- Indagar en les problematiques personals i socials que l'activitat fisica pot generar en determinats grups vulnerats (p.e. col·lectiu trans, persones amb discapacitats, persones preses i adolescents)
- Divulgar i transferir resultats d'investigacio en l'ambit de l'activitat fisica, l'Educacio fisica i la salut, orientats a la transformacio social.
- Avaluar la productivitat i divulgacio cientifica a l'ambit de l'activitat fisica i l'esport.
Research lines: - Physical Activity and Health.This line of research deals with physical activity, exercise, sport and sedentary lifestyles from a public health perspective, with a special focus on vulnerable populations.
- Physical Education, Sport and Society.This line of research is concerned with the study of physical exercise, sport and the curricular organisation of formal and informal physical education, with special emphasis on vulnerable populations.
- Teaching of physical activities and sports.This line of research is concerned with the study of teaching-learning processes in physical activity and sport, as well as curricula, reforms, innovations and the use of new technologies (ICT), with special emphasis on vulnerable populations.
- Evaluation of scientific production and dissemination.This line of research is concerned with the evaluation of productivity and the communication and dissemination of physical activity and sport sciences.
