    Healthy ageing, frailty, cognitive decline and fall risk

    The effects of physical exercise in the field of healthy ageing, frailty, cognitive decline and fall risk.

    Lines of research:

    • Health function indicators for elderly frailty.
    • Neuromuscular and biomechanical factors in human movement.
    • Physical exercise and diseases associated with sedentary lifestyles: diabetes, obesity, COPD and cardiovascular risk.
    • Strength and resistance training: neuromuscular, cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations.
    • Ageing, cognitive decline and physical activity: assessing balance, walking and muscular power. The effects of exercise.
