Research Area: Human Movement Biodynamics
The Human Movement Biodynamics area focuses on research aimed at understanding the effects of physical activity and exercise at both population and individual levels.
- At the population level, studies describe physical activity levels, trends over time, determinants, consequences, and interventions to promote physical activity.
- At the individual level, research evaluates physiological adaptations to exercise, aiming to understand different training methodologies and their impact on physical and sports performance.
Research Lines in this Area:
Physical Activity Epidemiology
This research line prioritizes four key areas:
(a) Determining physical activity prevalence and time trends
(b) Studying determinants of physical activity participation
(c) Investigating the consequences of physical activity
(d) Developing and assessing interventions to promote physical activity
