Abstract
In the interview, the authors try to present the academic and research life of one of the most important disciples of Pierre Parlebas. He tells of his beginnings and subsequent deepening of his knowledge of motor praxeology. His research career began linked initially to traditional sports games (TSG) and ethnomotricity. Currently, he directs the Motor Action Research Group (GIAM), with important links to Brazil. The group is governed by the principles of teamwork, motor praxeology as a theoretical foundation and applied research. Currently, the research line tries to provide scientific evidence of the effects of sports games on motor behaviour, from different personality dimensions. Finally, it should be noted that he is currently president of the European Association of Traditional Sports and Games, a position from which he promotes international network actions.
