Carolina Vila-Chã received a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Sports Science and a European PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Porto, Portugal and Aalborg University, Denmark. From 2007 to 2010, she was a guest researcher at the Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction, Aalborg University, Denmark. Since 2012, she has been an adjunct professor at the Sports Department of the Polytechnic Institute of Guarda, Portugal and a researcher at the Research Center in Sports, Health and Human Development (CIDESD), Portugal. In 2024, she integrated the Center for Research & Innovation in Sports, Physical Activity and Health. Her research is focused on the assessment of neuromuscular adaptations to training by means of advanced EMG techniques. Her scientific interests also include exploring neuromuscular alterations induced by ageing, muscle fatigue, delayed muscle onset soreness and their impact on motor control. Recently, she has been developing I&D projects on physical activity and healthy ageing. She has several peer-reviewed publications, journals, and conference papers/abstracts in these areas.
