Brief description of the line of research:

We have been working for more than two decades in the epidemiology of physical activity and physical fitness in relation to different health variables and different population groups, from preschoolers to the elderly. Currently, we collaborate on projects that are having a significant impact in the school context at European and global level in terms of physical fitness assessment, and also in relation to the use of accelerometers and wearable technology for the assessment and promotion of physical activity. Our group has led and is currently leading international consensus on both physical fitness and physical activity.
