Dr. Jerez-Mayorga's pioneering work centers on muscle quality assessment and functional electromechanical dynamometry, developing diagnostic methodologies for low muscle function in elderly populations. His research bridges Rehabilitation Sciences and Sports Science through innovative geriatric strength training protocols, significantly advancing clinical assessment tools for age-related muscular decline.

He has secured leadership of four national/international research projects, most notably the "Heuristic Analysis of Muscle Quality for Diagnosis of Low Muscle Function in Older Adults (Muscle Quality Life)" initiative. His scholarly output comprises over 150 indexed publications and six book chapters focused on rehabilitation and sports science applications.

As Research Director of the Pleokinetic network, he coordinates multinational collaborations advancing biomechanical assessment standards across Iberoamerican institutions.
