Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Pedro Afonso Valente"
Pedro Afonso Valente's research focuses on the role of exercise and nutrition in mitigating the effects of aging, particularly through the lens of physical frailty, mental health, and inflammatory processes.
His study on irisin suggests it functions as an anti-inflammatory exerkine that could enhance health and quality of life, reinforcing the need for regular physical activity among sedentary individuals.
Valente's investigations highlight the efficacy of multicomponent exercise programs and branched-chain amino acid supplementation in improving functional fitness and mood in frail older adults, emphasizing non-pharmacological approaches to aging-related health challenges.
