Mgr. Filip Skala, PhD., je vedecko-výskumný pracovník na Katedre biologických a lekárskych vied FTVŠ UK. Doktorandské štúdium v odbore Vedy o športe ukončil v roku 2024. Bol spoluriešiteľom dvoch projektov VEGA a od roku 2026 je hlavným riešiteľom projektu VEGA zameraného na diagnostiku zrakovej percepcie a senzomotorických funkcií mládeže v športových hrách.

Absolvoval študijné pobyty na University of Valencia a University of Almería, ako aj výskumný pobyt na North-West University v Juhoafrickej republike podporený Národným štipendijným programom Slovenskej republiky. Vo svojej vedeckej činnosti sa venuje diagnostike kondičných a senzomotorických schopností športovcov. Súčasne pôsobí ako futbalový tréner s licenciou UEFA Elite Youth A a šéftréner žiackej sekcie FC Petržalka.
