Vision Statement
My focus is a long-standing and uncompromising vision to get more people, more active, more often. I am fully committed to improving people’s health through promoting an active lifestyle, integrating physical activity, exercise and sports participation. During my career I have tried to achieve this by facilitating big impact partnerships, championing innovation, providing high quality evidences, campaigning, and supporting research from others and sharing insights. I am especially interestedin Active Living (from an energy balance revolution to the integration of active living in worksite health promotion, primary and secondary education, the impact of the environment – i.e. healthy cities–, or the power and opportunities coming from technology innovation and development); in Clinical Exercise (from customized exercise counselling, dose-response prescription and monitoring to cost-effectiveness and economic impact of the interventions, policy makers commitment and funding support); and inBehavioral change (from addressing exercise program engagement, barriers for practice and social and emotional support, to integrating e-technology and new resources).
Research Interests
My research interests focus in the areas of health and fitness, clinical exercise, active living and worksite health promotion, having led and managed as PI 29 competitive research and consultancy projects with a total funding allocation exceeding £1,5 million. As a result of this extensive research, professional and consultancy background, I have offered more than 200 seminars, conferences and lectures in 26 different countries.
