Professor | University of Valencia | Spain
Prof. Dr. Pedro Pérez Soriano, from Universitat de València, Spain, is an accomplished researcher in sports science, biomechanics, and human movement analysis, with a focus on optimizing athletic performance, injury prevention, and ergonomic comfort. His work investigates the effects of fatigue, footwear, surface conditions, and equipment adjustments on kinematics, impact accelerations, and physiological responses in running and cycling. With 130 publications, over 1,631 citations, and an h-index of 21, he demonstrates significant scholarly influence, complemented by collaborations with 290 co-authors worldwide. Key contributions include pioneering studies on sex-specific footwear responses, sprinting acceleration asymmetries, and the replicability of sports science research, often integrating advanced biomechanical modeling, sensor-based analysis, and infrared thermography. His research bridges theory and practice, informing sports equipment design, training protocols, and athlete safety measures, with broad societal and industrial relevance. Through these efforts, Pérez Soriano has advanced understanding of human movement while providing actionable insights that enhance performance, reduce injury risk, and guide evidence-based interventions in sports and exercise science globally.
