Dr. Martino Franchi is a post-doctoral Research Fellow at the MRC-ARUK Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing, University of Nottingham, U.K. His main interest is to investigate, with an integrative physiology approach, the morphological, architectural, functional, and molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle remodelling in response to different mechanical stimuli (mainly eccentric vs. concentric actions). Dr. Franchi’s research is ultimately focused on investigating the impact of aging on skeletal muscle features and the role of different exercise interventions in the preservation of muscle mass and quality as we age.
