Topics of specialization

His current research activity is mainly carried out within the Exercise Physiology Laboratory and focuses on the relationship between physical activity, exercise and diabetes, the structuring of exercise programs for the promotion of health and physical efficiency, ventilatory responses during different types of exercise, and aspects related to nutrition in sports. A cycling enthusiast, he is also interested in the physiological responses related to training in that sport.
