GENERAL COMMENTS
The candidate’s career has developed in three clearly differentiated phases.
The FIRST phase, which can be described as one of academic training and initiation into research, took place as a student at the INEFC Lleida of the University of Barcelona between 1990 and 1995, where she completed her degree in Physical Education.
After finishing the degree, she remained at INEFC Lleida during 1995, 1996, and 1997, participating in several research projects through postgraduate scholarships awarded by the Government of Catalonia. In this way, she consolidated her initial steps in research, always focused on the social study of physical education and sport.
The SECOND phase is characterized by her professional activity in the field of formal physical education, specifically as a physical education teacher in several secondary schools during 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.
The THIRD phase, defined by university teaching and the consolidation of her research career, began in 2000, when she took on a part-time position as an associate lecturer (LRU) at the Faculty of Education of the University of Zaragoza. From September 2001, she obtained a full-time position. Since then, her teaching activity has been continuously linked to the university.
During this period, she completed doctoral coursework while combining full-time teaching with the preparation of her PhD thesis, which she defended in 2006.
In 2007, she requested a three-year leave of absence from the University of Zaragoza to take up a research and development contract at the University of Vigo, allowing her to focus fully on research activities.
She returned to the University of Zaragoza in 2009 and, in 2010, her position was converted to contratada doctora (tenure-track lecturer). She then began a degree in History, which she completed in June 2013. Since that time, her efforts have been devoted primarily to teaching and research. In 2019, she was promoted to titular de universidad (Associate Professor).
RESEARCH
The applicant’s research trajectory throughout her university career has focused on didactic intervention in the teaching-learning processes within the field of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences.
She has been awarded two research evaluation periods (sexenios) by ACPUA (Agency for Quality and Strategic Foresight of Aragón) for the periods 2006–2011 and 2012–2018, and two by CNAI (2009–2014; 2016–2021).
Her research activity has been developed within four research groups:
The Praxiological Group at the National Institute of Physical Education in Lleida (1996–1997).
The DE-4 Motricidad para todos Group at the Faculty of Education and Sport Sciences, University of Vigo (2006–2010).
The Consolidated Group 2011 S14/1: Data Protection and Electronic Signature, University of Zaragoza.
The Estética y filosofía de la imagen (Aesthetics and Philosophy of the Image) Group (H22_17R), an emerging group at the University of Zaragoza.
Currently, she serves as co-principal investigator of the research group S53_23R: Training, Physical Activity, and Sports Performance (ENFYRED).
She has co-supervised one PhD thesis defended in 2014 and another in 2025.
Her current research focuses on gender stereotypes in artistic-expressive physical activities.
