Doctor Felipe Machado

I am a physiotherapist and postdoctoral researcher in rehabilitation sciences specializing in exercise physiology and body composition in chronic and cardiometabolic conditions. During my PhD at Maastricht University, I developed expertise in body composition phenotyping and its clinical implications in chronic respiratory diseases. In my current position at Hasselt University, I extend this work by investigating personalized exercise-based rehabilitation strategies to improve health status and physical function in individuals with chronic and cardiometabolic conditions, including cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.
