Carlo Ferri Marini

Dr. Carlo Ferri Marini is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Human Movement Sciences, University of Groningen and University Medical Center Groningen. He holds a PhD cum laude from the University of Urbino, with additional studies at Colorado Mesa University and University College Dublin. His research focuses on optimizing exercise testing and prescription in healthy and clinical populations, particularly in aerobic and resistance exercise physiology. He collaborates internationally and serves as an Academic Editor for BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation and PeerJ.

Key areas of research include exercise intensity methods, lifestyle interventions for breast cancer survivors, and cardiometabolic health. Notable projects include the MOVIS clinical trial on exercise and nutrition programs for cancer survivors and the TRIPL-A trial for type 2 diabetes management. His work emphasizes improving the benefit-to-risk ratio of physical activity through evidence-based approaches.

Dr. Marini’s recent publications explore topics such as pedaling cadence effects on metabolic responses, gut microbiota changes in breast cancer survivors, and the validity of exercise intensity metrics. He also investigates the role of exercise in mitigating tumorigenic activity and enhancing quality of life in clinical populations.

Collaborations span institutions globally, reflecting his commitment to interdisciplinary research. His research has been featured in journals like Scientific Reports, European Journal of Sport Science, and Frontiers in Oncology.

Dr. Marini is affiliated with the SMART Movements research group, advancing knowledge in movement sciences and health. His work bridges clinical and applied research, aiming to translate findings into practical guidelines for improving public health outcomes.
