My research is focused on the study of lifestyle in the cancer context. In particular, I investigate the development of evidence-based and theoretically-driven physical activity interventions for cancer patients. My main research interests include examining: a) the effects of physical activity in cancer patients on symptom management (e.g., quality of life, fatigue, cognitive function) and health-related fitness outcomes (e.g., cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength/endurance, physical function); b) behavior change interventions for increasing physical activity in patients; and c) profiling physical activity levels, patterns, and determinants in cancer survivors. My secondary line of research focuses on the study of diet and nutrition in the context of different types of cancer, designing combined interventions (nutrition + physical activity) to improve cancer clinical outcomes.
