Lusine Azati Melkonyan

Lusine Azati Melkonyan serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Physical Education and Sports at Yerevan State University (YSU), a position she has held continuously since 1998. Born in 1978, she contributes to Armenia's academic sports landscape through teaching and research while maintaining active institutional affiliation at YSU's main campus (Alex Manukyan 1, Yerevan).

Her academic foundation includes:

• Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture (1994-1998): Bachelor's degree in Basketball

Dr. Melkonyan's research program centers on Physical Education and Sports Anthropometry, with specialized investigations into student physical development trajectories and sociological dimensions of sports participation. Her methodology emphasizes empirical data collection through structured surveys, particularly examining value systems and behavioral patterns among university populations. Current work reveals strong focus on gender-specific physiological analysis and longitudinal tracking of physical characteristics during academic maturation.

Publication trends (2020-2023) demonstrate consistent investigation of student cohorts through dual lenses: physiological measurement (e.g., age-related physical changes in female students) and sociological profiling (e.g., first-year students' sports interests). This interdisciplinary approach bridges sports medicine with educational sociology, yielding insights applicable to curriculum development and athletic program design in higher education settings.

Her distinguished athletic achievement includes:

• Master of Sports of the Republic of Armenia (1996)

While no formal advising relationships or research grants are documented in available materials, her collaborative publications indicate active engagement with colleagues including H.G. Tumanyan and V.M. Avagimyants. Institutional support appears centered within YSU's Physical Education infrastructure without mention of specialized laboratories or dedicated research teams.
