Grupo de Investigación en Acción Motriz ~ Grupo de Investigación en Acción Motriz

This research area studies how motor situations shape the formation, transformation and quality of interpersonal relationships. From the perspective of motor praxeology, it examines how the internal logic of sporting games produces motor interactions that help or hinder people in getting along, cooperating and building inclusive, cohesive groups. It focuses on relationships that emerge during motor practices, including motor conflicts, peer acceptance and rejection, and the dynamics of leadership and group belonging.

This area treats relational well-being as an essential dimension of human development. Motor experiences offer a valuable setting in which to learn to live together, manage conflict, strengthen social bonds and build more inclusive and equitable communities. The studies seek to identify the relational mechanisms that emerge in sporting games and design teaching strategies to improve interpersonal relationships in educational, sporting and community settings.
