His research spans biomechanics, sports physiology, and training methodologies. Recent publications examine flywheel training validation, muscle oxygenation in squats, joint movement patterns in runners, and the impact of verbal instructions on basketball players' reactive strength. He also explores social media applications (e.g., Instagram) in university education.

As a professional basketball referee in Spain's ACB League since 2017, his work uniquely bridges academic research and practical sports officiating. His studies on physical activity monitoring, velocity-based resistance training, and gait coordination variability contribute to both athletic performance optimization and referee workload analysis.
