Antonio Cartón Llorente

Antonio Cartón Llorente serves as Professor at San Jorge University's Faculty of Health Sciences, teaching core courses in Physiotherapy and Sports Sciences degrees with over 3000 accumulated teaching hours across multiple institutions.

His academic credentials include:

• Doctorate in Health Sciences, San Jorge University (2021)
• Master's in Research in Health Sciences, San Jorge University (2016)
• Degree in Physiotherapy, San Jorge University (2013)
• Licentiate in Physical Activity and Sports Science, University of Zaragoza (2009)

His research specializes in biomechanical analysis of human locomotion—particularly gait, running, and jumping—with emphasis on injury prevention and performance enhancement. Key investigations cover footwear impacts on running dynamics, connective tissue morphology relationships with lower limb stiffness, fatigue effects on kinematics, and neuromuscular training applications in female athletes. This work manifests in 22 JCR-indexed publications and frequent national/international conference presentations.

Scientific recognition includes a Spanish Recognized Research Six-Year Period award, underscoring the significance of his contributions to sports biomechanics.

Complementing his academic role, he integrates elite sports experience as former physical trainer for Egypt's Handball Federation (2019-2021)—instrumental in their 2020 African Championship victory and Tokyo 2021 Olympics fourth-place finish—and as ex-professional handball athlete with Balonmano Aragón (2006-2016). His private clinical practice (2015-2018) and prior physiotherapy work further bridge theoretical research with real-world application.
