Eurico Nestor Wilhelm Neto

Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science at Northumbria University, Eurico complete his undergrad in Physical Education (Hons) at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in 2010 and obtained his MSc in Human Movement Sciences at the same institution (2013), investigating neuromuscular and cardiovascular adaptations of older adults to concurrent training. In 2016, Eurico received his PhD from Brunel University London, where he described the dynamics of cell-derived microvesicles in response to exercise and explored their putative function upon endothelial cells. From 2017 to 2018, Eurico was a post-doctoral fellow at Universidade Federal de Pelotas, and in 2018 took permanent lecturership (adjunct professor) position in Exercise Physiology at UFRGS. He left UFRGS in 2020 to join the Department of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation at Northumbria University. His background includes experience in strength and concurrent training research, exercise physiology and testing, as well as endothelial cell culture, and his research interests centres on understanding the interplay between skeletal muscle, local vasculature and exercise to counteract ageing-related (mal)adaptation.

Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science em Northumbria University, Eurico é graduado com láurea acadêmica em educação física (2010) pela UFRGS e realizou o mestrado em Ciências do Movimento Humano (2013) na mesma instituição, investigando treinamento concorrente e adaptações neuromusculares e cardiovasculares em idosos. De 2013 a 2016 realizou doutorado em Brunel University London com bolsa de doutorado pleno pelo programa Ciências sem Fronteiras, desenvolvendo experimentos integrando fisiologia cardiovascular e biologia celular para descrever a dinâmica e a função de microvesículas circulantes em resposta ao exercício. De 2017 a 2018 realizou estágio pós-doutoral na UFPel e posteriormente atuou como professor adjunto da ESEFID-UFRGS até 2020. Possui experiência com ciência aplicada ao treinamento de força e treinamento concorrente, fisiologia do exercício e cultura de células endoteliais e interesse na investigação das alterações vasculares e musculares decorrentes do envelhecimento, treinamento físico e modalidades terapêuticas.
