Notable Projects

• Efficacy of high-intensity, low-volume interval training compared to continuous aerobic training on insulin resistance, skeletal muscle structure, and function in adults with metabolic syndrome: study protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial (Intraining-MET).
• Intramuscular absolute carnosine quantification in young athletes by 1H-MRS using a flexible coil.
• Influence of aging on a microvascular supply of the gluteus medius tendon: a cadaveric and histologic study.
• Relationship of chronological age and sexual maturity with skeletal maturity by magnetic resonance imaging of the distal radial epiphysis in adolescent football players.

Main Research Results

• Assessment of the efficacy of high-intensity, low-volume interval training on insulin resistance, structure (muscle mass and fiber type composition) and endocrine function of skeletal muscle (musclin) in adults with metabolic syndrome. 
• Development of a method to estimate the area occupied by type II fibers in the vastus lateralis thigh muscle through proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy using a flexible antenna.
• “Inverted U”shaped relationship of gluteus medius tendon microvascularization using CD4 markers on cadavers.
• Application of magnetic resonance imaging of the distal radial epiphysis to assess skeletal maturity in adolescent soccer players.
