I am currently PhD student at São Paulo State University - UNESP, Brazil, supervised by collaborated Professor Ercy Ramos (São Paulo State University - UNESP, Brazil) and Associate Professor Vinicius Cavalheri (Curtin University of Technology, Australia). I am involved in projects that aims to analyses the effects of a home-based exercise training in physical performance, biological and mental characteristics of patients with primary lung or head and neck cancer. During the year of 2023 I worked as a visiting research associate at Curtin University, Australia, under the supervision of Associate Professor Vinicius Cavalheri and Professor Kylie Hill. My academic training both at undergraduate and graduate levels is in Physiotherapy. More specifically, my area of expertise is physical training for chronic respiratory diseases and lung cancer. After completing my BSc in Physiotherapy at UNESP - Brazil, I undertook a 1-year, full-time specialization in Respiratory Physiotherapy in the same institution. Following my specialization, I completed an MSc in Physiotherapy at UNESP - Brazil (2019). In 2019, I initiated my PhD and worked teaching to the bachelors course also at UNESP - Brazil.

Introduction: Lung cancer is known for its high prevalence and mortality rates. Chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy are usually recommended as the main treatment(s) for this disease; however they can negatively impact both the physical and mental status of patients. Hence, it is reasonable to consider resistance and/or aerobic exercise training to prevent the impact of the disease and its tr…
Introduction: Patients with COPD require continuous treatment, with physical exercise being "A" evidence in the treatment of these patients. Although the benefits of a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program (PRP) are known, adherence to them is still lacking. In view of this, it is necessary to develop interventions that improve the adherence of COPD patients to PRP. Objective: To verify the ac…
