Association of Kinesiology (UNC) - Interuniversity Institute of Miology (IIM) Summary of Research Career
and Fields of Interest The research fields of interest cover the Physiology of Muscle Exercise (metabolism,
respiratory and cardio-circulatory adjustments to exercise), the control of Muscle Contraction
(electromyogram and mechanomyogram). In particular: - Muscle physiology: i) study of the electromechanical activity of skeletal muscle in health subjects and patients affected by neuro-muscle disorders;
ii) evaluation of acute passive stretching influence on skeletal muscle in sedentary subjects and athletes,
under dynamic and isometric conditions; iii) Neuro-muscle responses of skeletal muscle in healthy,
athletes and subjects with neuro-muscle impairments after different resistance training modalities. Exercise physiology: effects of aerobic exercise on the cardio-respiratory and metabolic profile in healthy,
athletes and subjects with neuro-muscle impairments.
Dr Cè wiil be involved in the project for the assessment of vascular parameters, data analysis and
interpretation, statistical analysis and manuscript drafting.
