Fernanda Zane Arthuso, PhD

Fernanda is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Exercise Oncology Research Laboratory, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. She holds a PhD from the same institution, specializing in exercise following bladder and kidney cancer diagnoses. Fernanda completed her master’s degree in psychology of development and learning, as well as her bachelor’s and teaching degrees in physical education at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil. She actively contributes as a committee member of the International Society of Exercise Oncology (ISEO) Webinar Series and the Cancer Research Institute of Northern Alberta’s Association of Research Trainees (CAR-T). Currently, Fernanda is leading a project examining the associations between breast cancer treatment modalities and changes in health-related fitness from the Alberta Moving Beyond Breast Cancer (AMBER) cohort study.

SangHyun Hwang, PhD

SangHyun Hwang (he/they) is a postdoctoral researcher in the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation at the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. His research interests lie in reinterpreting disability sports, physical activities, recreation, and outdoor sports through the lenses of anti-imperialism and post-colonialism, particularly from the standpoint of Korean Indigenous people. SangHyun is committed to contributing to an international disability alliance based on disability justice to dismantle ableism on a global scale. Born in Japan and raised in South Korea, he studied Adapted Physical Education and has been actively engaged in research and practice in the fields of adapted physical activity and disability sports.

Gabriele Marinari, PhD

Gabriele’s research focuses on the neural control of vascular function at rest and in response to acute exercise in humans. Specifically, he investigates the sympathetic nervous system-mediated regulation of blood pressure and skeletal muscle blood flow to meet metabolic demand during exercise. To explore this, Gabriele employs a range of interventions to alter the neural control of vascular resistance and blood flow. Ultimately, his goal is to identify novel strategies for preventing cardiovascular diseases associated with alterations in nervous system-mediated regulation of vascular function.

This revision aligns with Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ editorial guidelines, ensuring consistency, clarity, and respectful, inclusive language.
