Sport and Exercise Biomechanics

Associate Professor of Sports Training and Biomechanics at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Saudi Arabia, with a PhD in Physical Education (Sports Training & Biomechanics, Alexandria University, 2010). An active researcher with a sustained publication record spanning 2014–2026 across peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, including several Q2–Q4 ranked titles. Research combines quantitative biomechanical and electromyographic (EMG) analysis with applied sports-training methodology, and has more recently extended into artificial-intelligence applications in coaching and education, online/flipped learning, and women's health and psychological well-being through sport. This breadth of methodological and subject-matter expertise, together with completed training in international scientific publishing, supports a strong capacity to evaluate manuscripts across sports science, biomechanics, physical education, and educational-technology domains.
