She completed her PhD in Physical Therapy at the Federal University of São Carlos - UFSCar (2004) and the Post-Doctorade Fellow in the Pulmonary Function and Clinical Exercise Physiology Unit, Division of Respiratory Diseases, Department of Medicine, Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), São Paulo, Brasil in 2008. She has Specialization in Public Management (2011) at UFSCar and Hospital Management at Albert Einstein Hospital teaching and research center (2016). He was President of ASSOBRAFIR Regional SP (management 2010-2012) and was an alternate member at 2012-2014 . She was Vice Coordinator (2005-2007 and 2012-2013) and Coordinator of the Undergraduate Course in Physical Therapy at UFSCar (2007-2009). She was a member of the Institutional Committee for PIBIC and PIBITI-CNPq grants (2004-2010). Currently, she is assessor of Scientific director of FAPESP. Currently, she is a Full Professor at the Federal University of São Carlos and a research fellow at the IB-CNPq level. She was Area Editor of the Revista Brasileira de Fisioterapia (2012-2016) and she is a reviewer of several National and International Journals. She was Coordinator of Graduate Course of Physical Therapy (PPG-FT) at Federal University of Sao Carlos (2014-2016).She was Dean of Graduate Studies at UFSCar (from 11/2016 to 01/2021). She has experience in the field of Physical Therapy, with an emphasis on Cardiorespiratory Physical Therapy and Exercise Physiology. In relation to the research developed, she has focused her studies on understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of exercise intolerance in numerous chronic cardiorespiratory diseases and their risk factors (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart failure, COPD and asthma ) and ways to improve the exercise capacity (different types of physical exercise and the adjuncts of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation) to restore functionality, exercise tolerance and consequently the quality of life these patients.Currently, she has 216 full papers published and 14 book chapters.

This proposal comes up for a thematic project involving 2 subprojects of interdependent research and 15 researchers, 6 associate research, 5 international researchers and 3 national researchers from other institutions. In this theme, we propose as the original study a patient follow-up study with COPD, CHF and its coexistence, assessing the impact on morbidity and disability. Also we will…
Background: Obesity is a chronic multifactorial disease resulting from many interactions. The success of the pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions (exercise and diet) are still contradictory in obese patients. Bariatric surgery often becomes a fast and effective intervention in cases of morbid obesity and/or obesity associated with comorbidities. The conventional gastric b…

Introduction: The six-minute step test (6MST) has proven to be a useful and low-cost tool for assessing functional capacity as well as cardiovascular and respiratory behavior in response to physical exertion. Moreover, measuring endothelial function before and after the 6MST allows for the addition of more objective parameters to facilitate the early detection of vascular changes. This al…
Introduction: Assessing functional capacity in a simple, quick and low-cost way in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is important for early identification of functional impairments and the implications of the health condition in the lives of these patients. The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) is a simple questionnaire, consisting of 12 items that assess funct…
Covid-19 resulted in multiple sequelae in the post-infection period such as cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal or nervous changes described in the literature. The symptoms related to the Covid-19 patient demonstrate a significant reduction in lung capacity, fatigue, muscle strength, functional capacity when carrying out activities of daily living (ADLs) and when performing physical exercise…
Introduction: In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 tobe a widely disseminated epidemic disease. The main studies regarding the 2019 coronavirus(COVID-19) are part of the assessment of the functional capacity of these individuals, to thedetriment of compromised lung function, also considering additional factors such as physicaldeconditioning, musculoskeletal…
Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, by itself, presents significant impairment in sleep quality and functional capacity. In addition, depending on the progression and severity of the disease, many patients may have overlapping obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, little is known whether the overlapping of these diseases causes additional damage to sleep quali…

Mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent condition that affects millions of Canadians with a history of smoking. A considerable fraction of these patients reports disproportionately exertional dyspnea compared to their "preserved" forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Extensive evidence generated by our research group in the past decade (summarized …
Heart Failure (HF) patients have shown mark intolerance towards exercise, which is related to the severity of the disease. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to perform tests of maximum exercise, since they can measure and identify possible cutoff points to stratify HF gravity. Aim: To analyze all the variables derived from the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), but prioritize O…
Diaphragm fatigue (DF) occurs during high-intensity endurance exercise in healthy humans. This could be a limiting factor to exercise tolerance, triggering dyspnea, peripheral effort perceptions and the inspiratory muscle metaboreflex. Nevertheless, some questions about DF remains unclear. Thus, we sought to investigate whether DF has a progressive increase during high-intensity exercise …
Sarcopenic obesity is considered a geriatric syndrome that involves a reduction in skeletal muscle mass coupled with an increase in adiposity within elderly people. Recent research focusing on metabolic and functional outcomes in sarcopenic-obesity individuals have been gaining significant interest worldwide due to the progressive increase in life expectancy, being one of the major curren…
