Sou investigador em Ciências do Desporto e profissional na área do treino de alto rendimento, com um percurso fortemente orientado para a integração entre ciência e prática em contextos de desporto profissional. Doutorado em Educação Física e Desporto, desenvolvi a minha investigação em torno da monitorização da carga de treino, fadiga, recuperação e interpretação dos efeitos do treino em atletas de elite, com especial enfoque em ambientes reais de competição. Atualmente exerço funções como Preparador Físico no voleibol profissional e como Coordenador do Departamento de Investigação e Desenvolvimento no Sporting CP, sendo responsável pela articulação entre investigação científica, tomada de decisão no treino e implementação prática em contextos de alto rendimento. O meu percurso profissional inclui experiência continuada em equipas profissionais, permitindo que as questões de investigação surjam diretamente da prática e que os resultados científicos tenham aplicação imediata e relevante no terreno. A minha produção científica inclui artigos publicados em revistas internacionais de referência nas áreas da fisiologia do exercício, treino desportivo e ciência aplicada ao desporto, bem como revisões narrativas, scoping reviews e revisões sistemáticas que contribuíram para clarificar o estado da arte e identificar lacunas relevantes na literatura. O meu trabalho tem incidido particularmente na interpretação da monitorização do atleta, propondo abordagens centradas nos efeitos do treino e no apoio à tomada de decisão, em oposição a modelos excessivamente dependentes de métricas isoladas. Tenho mantido uma forte ligação internacional através de colaborações científicas com investigadores de reconhecido mérito no Reino Unido, Austrália e EUA, participando regularmente em congressos científicos internacionais como orador convidado. Paralelamente, tenho desenvolvido atividades de ensino pontual e formação avançada, nomeadamente em cursos universitários e formação de treinadores, com enfoque na metodologia do treino, ciência aplicada e leitura crítica da evidência científica. O meu objetivo de carreira é consolidar-me como líder na integração entre ciência e prática no desporto de alto rendimento, desenvolvendo linhas de investigação independentes, supervisionando estudantes e contribuindo para ambientes desportivos mais sustentáveis, informados por evidência científica robusta e sensível ao contexto real de intervenção.
