Research Projects

My line of research focuses on three primary areas: (1) validation of observational models in psychomotor assessment instruments, (2) the relationship between motor skill competence, perceived motor competence, physical activity levels, and body composition, and (3) the application of artificial intelligence to enhance movement assessment, particularly in the automated recognition and evaluation of fundamental movement skills.
