Pedro Angel Latorre Roman

Pedro Angel Latorre Roman is a UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR at the Department of Didactics of Music, Plastic and Body Expression at the University of Jaen. His research focuses on the Didactics of Body Expression within the Physical Activity and Sports research group.

His educational background includes a PhD from the University of Granada (2003) for research on biomechanical parameters in long-distance runners. His work spans physical fitness, motor competence, gait analysis, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), with a particular emphasis on aging populations and childhood development.

Recent publications (2025–2024) highlight trends in dual-task paradigms for motor assessment, aquatic performance in preschoolers, and HIIT’s impact on health markers. Topics include:

• Physical fitness and cognitive function in schoolchildren
• Gait dynamics in dual-task models
• Strength and velocity profiling in athletes
• Validation of motor assessment tools

He collaborates on cross-cultural studies and has explored pandemic-related impacts on physical activity, though no specific scientific awards are mentioned.
