Eduardo Teixeira

Eduardo Teixeira is an Assistant Professor at the University Lusófona of Porto and an Associated Researcher at the Research Centre in Physical Activity, Health and Leisure (CIAFEL) within the Faculty of Sports of the University of Porto (FADEUP). He holds a PhD (2017), MSc, and BSc in Physical Activity and Health/Sports Sciences from FADEUP, where his doctoral research investigated the impact of sedentary behavior on skeletal muscle repair using animal models, with emphasis on immune system modulation.

His research focuses on two primary domains:

• Exercise and sedentary behavior effects on skeletal muscle quality in sports, health, and disease contexts
• Digital remote monitoring of physical activity and health-related fitness using wearables and biomarkers in saliva, sweat, and tears

He leads investigations into wearable device validation and non-invasive biomarker analysis for exercise monitoring.

Teixeira's publications span muscle physiology, digital health, oncology, and sports science, with recent trends emphasizing:

• Wearable technology validation for geriatric and athlete populations
• Molecular mechanisms linking exercise to cancer outcomes
• Innovative diagnostics for sarcopenia and muscle disorders
• Science communication methodologies

No scientific awards, student advising relationships, or grant information are documented in the provided materials. His laboratory activities center on biomarker research and digital monitoring systems at CIAFEL.
