معرفی
Luca Angius is a Research Fellow at Northumbria University, specializing in the neurophysiological and cardiovascular responses during physical exercise. His work investigates the role of group III/IV muscle afferents in disease-related cardiovascular abnormalities and central fatigue, with a focus on non-invasive brain stimulation techniques like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Luca holds a BSc and MSc in Sport Science, followed by two PhDs: one in Biology Biochemistry of Human and Environment from the University of Cagliari (IT), and another in Sport & Exercise Science and Sports Therapy from the University of Kent (2016). He served as an Associate Lecturer at the University of Kent until 2018, then joined Northumbria as a Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellow.
His research explores how central nervous system mechanisms contribute to exercise regulation and fatigue, particularly in populations with cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Key publication trends include tDCS applications for neuromuscular adaptations, metaboreflex modulation, and motor unit behavior during eccentric/isometric exercise.
