Exercise Physiology

Presentation

Cultural mission

The main lines of research concern the physiological mechanisms of adaptation of the human organism to exercise. Particular attention is devoted to metabolic and neuromuscular adaptations, and much of the research involves interdisciplinary topics including the development of innovative investigative techniques.

Main lines of research

  • Neuromuscular activation in adult, sedentary and athletic subjects, healthy or pathological Modeling of motor unit activity
  • Neuromuscular control in nonstationary activity
  • Muscle damage and effects of nutritional interventions on neuromuscular function
  • Ventilatory control during exercise
  • Effect of exercise protocols on metabolic control in diabetic patients
  • Diabetes and neuromuscular function
  • Neuromuscular control in combat activities
  • Performance optimization during endurance activities in different exercise modes
  • Physiological determinants of human performance in different exercise modes
  • Using wearable sensors to monitor vital signs and physical activity
