Brief Bio
Dr. Carlo Capelli graduated in Medicine at the University of Milano on 1984. He worked as research assistant of Human Physiology at the University of Udine from 1988 to 2000 and, then, as associate professor until 2006, when he was appointed Full Professor at the University of Verona. It is author of more that 80 papers published in international scientific, peer-reviewed journals. He has been the coordinator of the PhD course in Exercise Sciences, University of Verona. A present, he is on leave from the Univeristy of Verona and he has been appointed full professor of human physiology at the Department of Physica
l Performances, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Oslo, Norway from 2105 to 2019. The main scientific fields of interest of Dr. Capelli are the respiratory responses during exercise and the adaptation of humans to microgravity and disuse/training. He is member of the Italian Physiological Society, of the American College of Sports Medicine of the European College of Sport Sciences and of the American Physiological Society. Dr. Capelli spent several periods of study and work in foreign institutions: SUNY at Buffalo (USA), 1993 – 1994, Moscow (Russia), 1995, Ames NASA Centre, Moffet Field (USA), 1995, NASA Lyndon Johnson Space Centre, 1995 e 1996, Cologne (G), 2001, 2002 and 2003. He has been the co-ordinator of the study “Cardiopulmonary consequences of short-term bedrest in humans” (2001-2003 Short-Term Bed- Rest – Integrated Physiology study, Cologne, funded by the European Space Agency; he participated as co-investigator to several bed rest campaigns funded by the Italian Space Agency. He is responsible of the local unit of the multicentre project funded by ESA “ASTRONAUT EXERCISE PRESCRIPTIONS PROMOTING HEALTH AND FITNESS ON EARTH” coordinated by Prof. Tesch, Karolinska Inst., Sweden. Title of the local project: “CARDIOVASCULAR AND SKELETAL MUSCLE RESPONSES TO CHRONIC CONCURRENT EXERCISE USING FLYWHEEL TECHNOLOGY IN OLD MEN”. He has been funded as responsible of a local unit by the Italian Minister of University and Research, by the Italian Space Agency and by a local charity for a study on motor disability and exercise capacity in cerebral palsy

Raúl Arellano
Aquatics Lab, Dep. Physical Education and Sports, Faculty of Sports Science, University of Granada
Spain
|
Brief Bio
Professor Raúl Arellano Colomina has been associated with the University of Granada since the inception of the Faculty of Sport Sciences, where he currently serves as Full Professor (Catedrático de Universidad) and Director of the Aquatics Lab. His academic background includes a Doctorate in Physical Education (University of Granada, 1992) and a Master’s degree in High Performance Sports (Autonomous University of Madrid, 2001).
His scientific contributions have substantially advanced aquatic sports research, particularly in swimming technique, competition analysis, propulsive force evaluation, and, mor
e recently, the integration of artificial intelligence and deep learning in aquatic performance studies. He has authored over 100 articles in indexed journals, accumulating more than 3,300 citations and achieving an h-index of 30. His pioneering work, notably in undulatory underwater swimming, has significantly influenced international research agendas.
He has directed 14 doctoral theses, all awarded the distinction of “Sobresaliente Cum Laude,” consolidating his role in shaping new generations of researchers. His engagement in elite sport contexts is remarkable: he contributed scientifically to four editions of the Olympic Games (Barcelona 1992, Sydney 2000, London 2012, and Tokyo 2020) and multiple World Swimming Championships (1993, 2003, 2013, 2019, and 2021), providing biomechanical analyses of elite swimming performances.
In terms of institutional service, he has held several academic leadership positions, including Director of the Department of Physical and Sport Education, Vice Dean of Academic Organization (Vicedecano de Ordenación Académica), and Coordinator of the Master’s Degree in Research in Physical Activity and Sport. Moreover, he has actively contributed to academic quality assurance processes, serving as commission president for program accreditation at agencies such as ANECA and Madri+d.
Professor Arellano’s scientific visibility extends internationally through his membership on the editorial boards of leading journals such as the Journal of Sports Sciences and the International Journal of Sport Science and Coaching, as well as through his service as an ad hoc reviewer for numerous prestigious scientific journals. Furthermore, he has directed multiple nationally competitive research projects (e.g., SWIM I, SWIM II, and SWIM III) and collaborated extensively with industry partners to bridge applied research with technological innovation.
