Field of work
My background and primary interest are in cardiovascular and exercise physiology. My research focuses on the cardiovascular consequences of disease and lifestyle behaviors such as prolonged sitting and physical inactivity and the therapeutic effects of exercise (exercise medicine) and alternative or adjuvant strategies mimicking some of the effects of exercise. This research aims to inform and develop effective and safe therapeutic strategies to improve overall health. I am also interested in football and have previous experience as a competitive player and coach. I previously worked to implement strategies that focused on injury prevention and physical capacity in highly competitive women's and men's football players.
