معرفی
Luis Enrique Roche Seruendo is a Professor at the Faculty of Health Sciences of San Jorge University, where he has served as a Professor and Researcher since 2009. He currently directs the Master's in Human Locomotion Biomechanics and teaches core courses including Human Biomechanics and Sports Physiotherapy within the Physiotherapy and Podiatry degrees.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Biomedicine from the University of Granada (2018)
- Degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Zaragoza (2006)
- Degree in Podiatry from the University of Barcelona (2009)
- Master in Sports Performance from the University of Barcelona (2013)
Dr. Roche Seruendo's research centers on human locomotion biomechanics, with specialization in long-distance running using mass-spring modeling, lower limb stiffness dynamics, and orthopedic insole development. His work integrates technological innovation for gait analysis and musculoskeletal disorder prevention, resulting in 55 JCR-indexed publications (21 in Q1 journals) and an h-index of 16. He actively collaborates with sports clubs on performance optimization projects and has presented over 30 conference papers internationally.
Recent publications reveal strong trends in wearable sensor validation for gait assessment, barefoot running mechanics, and physiological responses to overload training in trail runners. These works, published in journals like Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport and Sensors, demonstrate applied biomechanics research addressing real-world sports performance and rehabilitation challenges.
His scientific awards include:
- Research Sexenio recognized by CNEAI
- Very Good (9.1) evaluation in DOCENTIA program
Dr. Roche Seruendo has directed 5 doctoral theses and over 40 undergraduate theses. His grant portfolio features significant projects:
- Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance Prevent4Work (Principal Investigator, 2018-2021, 894,876 €)
- Monitorización y fomento de hábitos saludables en poblaciones de riesgo (Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, 2015-2018)
- Desarrollo de un exoesqueleto pasivo para soldados (ExoLimb, 2016)
- Validación del sistema Opticométrico para análisis biomecánico (2018)
He leads the UNLOC (Unlimited Locomotion) research group since 2023, focusing on interdisciplinary approaches to human locomotion through biomechanical analysis, technological development, and sports performance optimization.
