Lines of research:

Main – bone response to exercise and nutrition
Sports nutrition and supplementation
Physiology of exercise
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses

Summary

The objective of my research is to investigate how nutrition and exercise influence the musculoskeletal system in several populations, including elite athletes and individuals with clinical illnesses. Within this, my main focus is the analysis of how exercise influences bone metabolism and how nutritional factors can affect this response. Other lines of research that I am investigating include the use of nutritional supplements to optimize athletic performance, with a focus on the use of buffering supplements and how they affect high-intensity exercise performance. Also, I have several projects investigating the effect of insufficient energy availability on health and performance. In addition, I am interested in research methodologies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses in particular.
