Francesco Marino

Francesco Marino is Professor of Exercise Physiology at Charles Sturt University. His research examines thermoregulation, hydration, and fatigue in extreme environments through evolutionary biology frameworks.

Key projects investigate thirst mechanisms, heat stress responses, and hydration impacts on cognitive/motor performance. Current work explores neuroinflammatory fatigue models and metabolic reprogramming during exertion.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on environmental physiology, with recent studies analyzing ibuprofen effects on exercise performance and IL-6 responses during heat exposure.
