WELCOME

Congress Chairman, Adelino Leite Moreira, FMUP, SPF

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we host the 3rd International Meeting of the Portuguese Society of Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto. This program, taking place on the 7th an 8th of November 2024, offers once again a high quality programme with an excell panel of speakers. Physiology is a cross-cutting discipline, fundamental to the training and practice of professionals in the various areas of human and animal health, sport, biology, bioengineering and biomedical engineering, among others. This meeting is therefore a privileged moment for people with different backgrounds and interests to meet and exchange ideas. Here they can find a unique opportunity to consolidate their scientific, pedagogical and professional training, as well as to build and consolidate networks. For these reasons we invite and urge everyone to attend this unique and inspiring event.

ADVANCED SEMINARS 3rd International Meeting of the Portuguese Physiological Society

    Seminar 1 – Exercise and Aging – “VIVIFRAIL multicomponent exercise program”

Mikel Izquierdo, Professor and Director of the Department of Health Sciences at the Public University of Navarra (Spain). ORCID ID 0000-0002-1506-4272 

If you fight frailty, if your focus is on Physical Activity physiology and/or health promotion in the elderly, you should learn more about Vivifrail.
The Vivifrail Seminar empowers professionals to manage elder frailty and prevent falls. It emphasizes physical activity’s role in maintaining and enhancing functionality and life quality. The course provides strategies for personalized interventions to combat inactivity, reducing disability and dependence risks in an aging population. Participants will learn practical application of the Vivifrail physical training program to delay disability and boost seniors’ cognitive and emotional health.

professor doutor hugo alexandre ferreira    Seminar 2 – Brain vs. Machine – “Brain-Computer Interfaces hands-on”

Hugo Alexandre Ferreira, Professor, Scientist and Entrepreneur in MedTech, Digital Health, Ageing and Longevity. ORCID ID: 0000-0002-4323-3942

Dedicated to all of those wanting to develop their information in cutting-edge science. After a brief historical overview of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), advanced fundamentals and methods of operation will follow. We will also address practical applications and future trends. On this journey we will discover how such BCI devices are enabling us to gain insights into how we humans learn, inspiring us to build improved AI algorithms, and promoting better “personal relationships” with machines.
A practical hands-on demo will conclude the seminar. SIGN UP [+ here] New!, applications are limited.

    Seminar 3 – Physiology Education – “”Maximizing physiology student learning with high structure course design – hands-on streaming course” 

Justin Shaffer, Educator and Teaching Professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO (EUA). Website pessoal

Do you want to effectively engage your physiology students in and out of the classroom by using evidence-based teaching and course design practices? Do you want to improve student learning and give students ample opportunities to practice developing relevant skill sets? If so, then this workshop is for you! Dedicated to all of those innovative educators in Human Physiology
Attend to learn about how to implement high structure course design into physiology courses, leading to improved student learning and more engaging class lessons. SIGN UP [+ here] New!, applications are limited.
