Dr. Silvio Rodrigues Marques Neto holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from Universidade Estácio de Sá (2007), a Master’s (2009), and a Ph.D. (2013) in Biological Sciences – Physiology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship (PNPD/CAPES) in the FISCLINEX program, conducting studies on obesity, physical exercise, and cerebral microcirculation in ischemia/reperfusion models. Dr. Marques Neto is currently an Associate Professor of Cardiovascular, Renal, and Respiratory Physiology at the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), and also teaches at Universidade Estácio de Sá and in the Graduate Program in Physical Activity Sciences at Universidade Salgado de Oliveira (UNIVERSO). He coordinates the Research Group on Exercise, Cardiometabolic Health, and Metabolism (GPESCM), focusing on the effects of structured physical training on cardiovascular, metabolic, and functional health in vulnerable populations, especially older adults. His work addresses physiological mechanisms, chronic disease prevention, and strategies to enhance autonomy and reduce frailty. He also leads the Academic League of Renal, Cardiovascular, and Respiratory Physiology (LAFiRCaRe) and a community extension program promoting health education and clinical physiology in aging. He is a proud contributor to impactful research in exercise physiology and public health.
