This research area studies how motor situations influence participants’ emotional experience. Within the theoretical framework of motor praxeology, it examines the relationship between the internal logic of sporting games and the emotions players experience. It pays particular attention to structural variables such as the type of motor interaction (psychomotor, cooperation, opposition and cooperation-opposition), whether competition is present, the sociomotor roles and subroles players adopt, and personal and contextual factors such as age, gender and educational setting.

Research in this area helps explain how certain motor practices elicit positive emotions associated with socio-emotional well-being and identifies situations that trigger negative or mixed emotions. It also examines teaching strategies to improve emotional education through sporting games at different stages of education.
