Information Processing and Statistical Methods Use of statistical methods applied to populations, the environment, health and epidemiology. This approach addresses real-world problems through data science from a statistical modelling perspective, with the aim of improving interpretation, analysis, prediction and statistical inference. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION Tools and software for statistical data analysis. Statistical procedures for sample and experimental design, processing [...]
Specific Fitness Assessment in Endurance Cyclic Sports Individualised assessment of physical performance in endurance cyclic sports. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION The tests used to assess physical performance in endurance cyclic sports have been tested in procedures aimed at obtaining reference parameters on which to base training planning. The following equipment is available to carry out this type of testing: Master Screen CPX [...]
Specific Fitness Assessment in Football Individualised assessment of physical performance in football using different field-based tests. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION The tests used in this type of assessment collect data on different performance variables, including endurance, horizontal speed, agility, horizontal power and vertical power (single-leg and double-leg). Anthropometric measurements such as weight, height and body composition by bioelectrical impedance will [...]
Assessment of Joint Strength Using Isokinetic Dynamometry Analysis of joint strength using an isokinetic dynamometer for injury prevention and motor performance. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION Isokinetic dynamometry testing allows the strength and power of the upper and lower limbs and trunk to be assessed under different conditions and at controlled movement speeds set by the research team. The subject performs [...]
Assessment of Movement and Acceleration Capacity Speed testing using photocells connected to a timing system or software to obtain split times and overall performance time. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION These assessment tests make it possible to determine sprinting and acceleration speeds under different running conditions, using both linear tests and change-of-direction tests (Illinois, T-test, modified T-test and linear sprint). The following [...]
Assessment of Motor Skills Using Standardised Tests A battery of validated tests to assess lower-limb motor skills. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION A battery of tests is used to assess upper-limb motor skills through tasks evaluating general dynamic coordination, balance and hand–eye coordination. These tests have been shown to be valid and reliable, and reference tables are available for different populations, [...]
Assessment of Static and Dynamic Postural Control Analysis of the ability to control posture in different situations involving challenging balance conditions, including single-leg stance, tandem stance, sitting on an unstable seat, and performing trunk-strengthening exercises. Measurement of centre-of-pressure sway using force platforms or pelvic micro-movements using accelerometry integrated into smartphones. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION Postural control is essential for maintaining [...]
3D Bioprinting of Polymeric Nanostructures and Organoids Bioprinting technology is based on the ability to produce materials that closely resemble biological tissues, such as human skin, as well as polymeric nanostructures in the form of nanofibres. Organoids are systems that mimic human organs, such as the pancreas or kidneys. Both systems can be used to test [...]
