Alfamov is an app scientifically developed to provide teachers, trainers, health personnel, parents, an assessment tool for basic motor skills through a mobile device. This app allows, among other things, to detect early possible deficits in the motor development of boys and girls.

With Alfamov you can:

Receive information for online learning about the importance of basic motor skills in the development of boys and girls, their classification and their evaluation.
Create groups for the systematic evaluation of the different basic motor skills, as well as store and export the results of these evaluations.
Record, store or import the videos of the children executing the different basic motor skills.
Evaluate the degree of development in each of the basic motor skills through a simple system of motor patterns.


The basic motor skills that you can evaluate with Alfamov are the following:

Locomotives: one foot jump, run, stride, side shift, skip, gallop, two foot horizontal jump, vertical jump, change of direction and climb.
Manipulatives: batting, catching, parrying, stationary dribbling, racket hitting, overhead throw, underhand throw.
Stability: Static Balance, Forward Somersault, Backward Somersault, Roll, Dynamic Balance.

This application is part of the Project RTI2018-096106-A-I00 financed by MCIN / AEI /10.13039/501100011033/ and by FEDER A way to make Europe and help FPU2019 / 02017 financed by MCIN / AEI / 10.13039 / 501100011033 and by “FSE Invierte in your future ”.
