Felipe Marticorena holds a degree in Nutrition from Centro Universitário São Camilo. He is currently pursuing a direct Ph.D. in Medicine at the University of São Paulo (USP), focusing on the impact of the placebo effect on physiological parameters and sports performance. He is a member of the Research Group in Applied Physiology and Nutrition and is enrolled in an MBA program in Data Science and Analytics at the "Luiz de Queiroz" College of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP). In 2022, Felipe received the Young Investigator in Sports Nutrition award from the American College of Sports Medicine. During his undergraduate studies, he was involved in Scientific Initiation projects at the USP's School of Public Health, focusing on phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity, and at the Faculty of Medicine, working on genetic polymorphism, supplementation, and athletes' performance. After completing his undergraduate degree, he was awarded a research scholarship by The Physiological Society, which enabled him to spend 12 weeks at Edge Hill University in the United Kingdom.

Historically, placebos are understood as inert interventions, and for this reason they would not have any effect on the body. Placebos started to be used as a comparator in clinical trials in order to identify the effectiveness of interventions. However, with the advancement of science, it became clear that the placebo effect is a measurable phenomenon, which can lead to beneficial effect…
High intensity exercise increases muscle energy demand, causing adenosine-5-triphosphate (ATP) to be hydrolyzed to adenosine-5-diphosphate (ADP), leading to a decompensation between glycolytic rate and pyruvate oxidation, resulting in production of lactic acid to facilitate the continuation of muscle contraction. Lactic acid will be dissociated into lactate anion (Lac-) and hydrogen catio…
Placebo and nocebo effects in sports are understood as an improvement or impairment, respectively, in performance attributed to an intervention-whether mechanical, nutritional, or environmental-that is inert and are primarily induced by positive or negative expectations. Studies using a within-participant balanced placebo design actively manipulate the expectation of the intervention. Des…
