Franco Milko Impellizzeri
Prof. Franco Impellizzeri is a professor within the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation at the University of Technology Sydney. He specializes in sport and exercise science and medicine, with extensive experience in applied sport science as both a researcher and practitioner, as well as in orthopedics, focusing on clinical outcome studies and clinimetrics.
Prof. Impellizzeri's research interests span research methodology and diverse areas of exercise science, including training and testing for both high-performance and health-focused outcomes. He has worked with elite Olympic athletes across various disciplines, encompassing both winter and summer sports, and has collaborated with international sports organizations.
Hugo A. Kerhervé
I am a sport and exercise scientist with a multidisciplinary background in exercise physiology, biomechanics and motor control.
I am interested in multifactorial approaches to human acute and chronic adaptation to various stresses, through the study of:
- the factors of performance in individual and team sports in participants with and without disabilities;
- the human-equipment and human-environment interface in performance and injury prevention;
- exercise interventions for health and well-being throughout life and across cultures;
- age-specific and sex-specific factors of cardiovascular, biomechanical and neuromuscular adaptation.
Andrew P Lavender
Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Health and Wellbeing, Federation University Australia. Dr Lavender completed a BSc and a MSc in Sport Science at Edith Cowan University and PhD at Yokohama City University. He is currently teaching applied research for exercise science and motor control and conducting research in exercise for healthy ageing, exercise induced muscle damage and eccentric training and sport related concussion and sub-concussion.
Yumeng Li
Dr. Yumeng Li is an associate professor in the Department of Health and Human Performance at Texas State University.
His primary research area focuses on sports and clinical biomechanics.
Jeremy P. Loenneke
Dr. Loenneke is the director of the Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory and his research group’s primary focus is on skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise with and without the application of blood flow restriction. He is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and a member of the American Physiological Society.
Giuseppe Marcolin
Giuseppe Marcolin is an Associate Professor in Sports Science at the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Padova, Italy. He obtained a BSc in Physical Education (ISEF) at the University of Bologna. Then, he obtained his MSc in Human Movement Sciences and his PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Padova. His scientific activity is devoted to biomechanical and electromyographical analysis applied to functional assessment in sports training and rehabilitation. He mainly focuses on understanding the influence static and dynamic balance control has on sports performance among athletes and fall risk among older adults. He is a member of the Italian Society of Motor and Sport Sciences (SISMES). He collaborated with the International Sports Engineering Association (ISEA) as a member of the organizing committee of the ISEA Winter School editions.

Ipsita Mohanty
Dr. Ipsita Mohanty is a Research Associate II at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute
Her current research focuses on investigating the molecular mechanisms of nitric oxide signaling pathway at the proteome levels using multipronged approach of mouse genetics, ex vivo mechanistic functional study as well as high throughput mass spectroscopy techniques.
Dr. Mohanty has expertise in pharmacology, physiology, and proteomics with emphasis in intracellular signal transduction and GPCR signaling directed towards designing therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular disorders. Technical cognizance encompasses fields of Smooth Muscle pharmacology, Integrative Physiology, Contraction Physiology, Proteomics, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatic Data Analysis (and related softwares) for Mass Spectrometry data and In-Vivo skills.
Adrià Muntaner-Mas
Dr. Adrià Muntaner Mas (Palma, 1988) is a Senior Lecturer of the Department of Pedagogy and Specific Didactics at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) since the 2013-2014 academic year. He holds a Bachelor in Physical Education Teaching (2010) and a Bachelor of Science in Physical Activity and Sports (2012).
His research focuses on the study of the effects of physical exercise/physical activity on physical and brain health, mostly in the school-age population. He has published more than 30 national and international scientific articles and has participated in more than 20 research projects. He did four research stays for a total of one year and two months, three of them were at the national level and one at the international level, in Melbourne (Australia). He has disseminated the results of his research in more than 50 conferences. He is a member of two research groups (GICAFE and PROFITH) and is a member of the BATLAB research laboratory. He has carried out journal management duties as an associate editor and has carried out more than 20 peer-reviews of scientific articles.
Henrique Pereira Neiva
Henrique Pereira Neiva is a Professor in the Department of Sport Sciences at the University of Beira Interior and a member of the Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD). He concluded his degree in Sport and Physical Education in the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto and, in 2015, finished his PhD in Sport Sciences at the University of Beira Interior. In the last 5 years, more than 130 documents were produced, among books, book chapters papers in Journals indexed at the Web of Science Core Collection (n = 104) and in other international scientific journals, conference proceedings, and all peer-reviewed publications. The impact of the research in the last years was recognized: invitation for oral communications in national and international conferences, peer-reviews in high-ranked journals, supervision of Doctoral (6 completed), Master (33 completed) and Bachelor students.
