Elisa Grazioli

Elisa Grazioli is a Fixed-term Researcher in the Department of Human and Health Sports Sciences at the University of Rome "Foro Italico" (Uniroma4). Her work bridges the fields of movement sciences and preventive medicine, with a strong focus on adapted physical activity for individuals with chronic non-communicable diseases. She is actively involved in teaching, research, and international cooperation projects.

Her research interests include:

• Functional assessment and fitness in chronic disease
• Adapted physical activity for cancer, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, chronic kidney disease, and fibromyalgia
• Development of online exercise protocols
• Epigenetic effects of physical activity
• Prevention across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels

The recent publications reflect a consistent trend in evaluating physical activity interventions in vulnerable populations, particularly women during menopause and patients with chronic degenerative conditions. Her work combines clinical outcomes with biomarker analysis, emphasizing both physiological and quality-of-life improvements. Key themes include exercise adherence, home-based programs, and interdisciplinary approaches integrating molecular biology with kinesiology.

She is involved in significant research projects such as the Erasmus+ "Happy Bones" initiative and university-funded studies including "NEXT" (Novel biomarkers of EXercise-inTervention efficacy in aging-related Non-Communicable Diseases) and research on epigenetic modulation in breast cancer survivors. These projects highlight her commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered exercise interventions.

Elisa Grazioli teaches the following courses:

• Attività motorie per popolazioni speciali (LM67-08A)
• Attività motoria preventiva e adattata (L22-08)
• Attività motoria per l'età evolutiva e gli anziani (L22-07)

She is also a member of the University Quality Assurance Committee, contributing to institutional academic standards. Her collaborative work spans multiple institutions across Europe, reflecting strong international engagement in public health and sports medicine.
