Introduction: My work focuses on the non-invasive evaluation of the "oxygen pathway", i.e. the study of the physiological factors that limit the transfer of oxygen from the ambient air to the mitochondria, in different human populations (from high performance athletes to patients), exercise paradigms (incremental to square wave), training modalities (aerobic to strength-training) and environments (high altitude to hyperbaric environment). The above "natural experiments" allow to interrogate the mechanisms that regulate acute and adaptive responses to exercise in physiological and pathological conditions. In turn, the valuable notions gained from these studies find a direct application in evidence-based exercise prescriptions for the community.
