During my PhD postdoctoral work I developed and validated a new protocol to evaluate performance on speed skating. This protocol considers limitations in leg blood flow imposed by the specific low posture and the long isometric duty cycle during skating. Now my current research project aims to examine cardiovascular and neuromuscular responses to exercise throughout the adult lifespan in trained and untrained individuals. The purpose is to investigate how much aging 'per se' or fitness status influence overall health.
