Born and raised in Argentina, Dr. Juan Manuel Murias completed his undergraduate degree in Physical Education and an MSc in Exercise Physiology in his hometown. After moving to Montreal, Canada in 2003, Juan Manuel completed a second MSc at McGill University, followed by a PhD in Integrative Physiology of Exercise (Western University, London, Canada) and Postdoctoral training focusing on vascular control at the same institution.
Following a 10-year appointment at the University of Calgary (Canada), in May 2023 Juan Manuel joined the College of Health and Life Sciences at Hamad Bin Khalifa University as an Associate Professor. Juan Manuel’s research examines how adequate manipulation of the metabolic stress (i.e., intensity) of endurance exercise contributes to maximizing central (e.g., cardiac output, blood volume, conduit arteries) and peripheral (e.g., microcirculation, muscle metabolism) responses that affect cardiovascular components responsible for oxygen transport and distribution at rest and during exercise. Recent work also incorporates the evaluation of central and peripheral measures of neuromuscular fatigue. Although Juan Manuel’s work is applied to different groups ranging from clinical populations to trained individuals, his research has a special focus on how sex and age contribute to the characteristics of adaptations within the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems.
