Carla Caballero Sanchez

Carla Caballero Sanchez serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Sport Sciences at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH). Her academic profile includes significant administrative responsibilities as Associate Dean of the Bachelor's in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences and membership in the University Senate (Sector 2). She teaches core courses across multiple academic years including Motor Control (Code 949), Foundations of Technique and Tactics in Sports (Code 1628), and Teaching in Physical Education and Sports (Code 955) at bachelor's level, and Analysis and Assessment of Technical and Tactical Aspects of Sports Performance (Code 1357) at master's level.

Her research program centers on motor control and learning with specialized focus on:

• Mechanisms of motor variability in sports performance
• Application of non-linear analysis tools for movement assessment
• Effects of task constraints on balance and technical execution
• Relationship between kinematic patterns and performance outcomes
• Optimization of training methodologies through variability manipulation

As a member of the Motor Control and Learning research group, her scholarly output demonstrates interdisciplinary reach while maintaining core alignment with sports science. Recent publications investigate force production variability as fatigue indicator, basketball free throw mechanics, and gait adaptation under constraint manipulation. Her work bridges theoretical motor control principles with practical sports performance applications.

Dr. Caballero Sanchez actively supervises student research through final degree projects and master's theses while maintaining regular tutorial sessions requiring appointment scheduling via ccaballero@umh.es. Her institutional contributions extend beyond teaching through Senate participation and leadership in the Bachelor's program administration.
