Graduated in PHYSICAL EDUCATION from the Federal University of Uberlândia - UFU (1989), specialization in Physical Education for People with Special Needs from UFU, PhD in Psychobiology from the Federal University of São Paulo - UNIFESP (1997) and Free Teaching from the State University of Campinas - UNICAMP (2007) and the Federal University of São Paulo - UNIFESP (2009). He is a Full Professor at the Department of Sports, Faculty of Physical Education, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy (EEFFTO) at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). He has experience in the field of Sleep, Sleep Disorders, Drowsiness, Fatigue, Accidents, Exercise Physiology and Sports Training. He is a master's and doctoral advisor for the postgraduate programs at UFMG and UNIFESP. He is also Technical Director of the Center for Studies in Psychobiology and Exercise (CEPE) and the Multidisciplinary Center for Sleepiness and Accidents (CEMSA).

Sleep restriction is now recognized as an increasingly common condition inherent to modern society, and one that in many ways, is detrimental to physiological systems. Although sleep is now viewed by a significant body of researchers as being essential for the biological systems homeostasis, the full impact of sleep restriction on health, medical disorders and well-being remains largely u…
Despite the growing number of spaces to get a better physical conditioning and constant access to information about the importance of physical activity for health, several people who start exercise programs quit it shortly after. In this context, the lack of compliance and adherence to exercise programs has been decreasing the level of physical fitness of the population. Motivation is a d…
Sleep is known to be one of the most restorative in musculoskeletal, energy balance and endocrine function. Our aim is evaluate the effects of sleep deprivation on muscle recovery after eccentric exercise session performed in a isokinetic dynamometer. The sample will be composed of 15 men who were sedentary, clinically healthy, aged between 21 and 30 years old. For the study development, …

The purpose of this project is to examine the possible protective value of exercise compared to the negative elements of particulate matter (PM) exposure shown in elderly sedentary individuals on brain function, cognition, and sleep disordered breathing (SDB). The results of this project will give novel insights into the mechanisms why exercise is good for brain health even when cognition…
Sleep is an important factor to the process of muscle recovery. Animal models suggest that the sleep debt is associated with corticosterone secretion and reductions in testosterone, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1), these parameters are related to a catabolic environment promoting an atrophy process. Among the strategies used to minimize this condition, the use…
Sleep regulates immune functions. In this sense, we asked whether shift workers (morning, afternoon or night) vaccinated against hepatitis A would have some humoral and cellular response impairment. Men (18 to 55 years) will be recruited through different forms of media (electronic, newspapers, radio and magazines). The shift workers sleep pattern will be recorded polysomnographically. Su…
