Overview

Marco V. Narici is affiliated with the University of Padua in Italy and has a substantial record of publications in medicine, focusing predominantly on physiology and related subfields. Their research spans physiology, molecular biology, biomedical engineering, orthopedics and sports medicine, and psychiatry and mental health.

Their work centers on topics such as muscle physiology and disorders, muscle activation and electromyography studies, nutrition and health in aging, spaceflight effects on biology, body composition measurement techniques, muscle metabolism and nutrition, and cardiovascular and exercise physiology.

Recent relevant publications include:

  • Impact of sedentarism due to the COVID-19 home confinement on neuromuscular, cardiovascular and metabolic health: Physiological and pathophysiological implications and recommendations for physical and nutritional countermeasures (2020, European Journal of Sport Science)
  • Age-related alterations in muscle architecture are a signature of sarcopenia: the ultrasound sarcopenia index (2021, Journal of Cachexia Sarcopenia and Muscle)

Marco V. Narici frequently collaborates with several researchers, including Martino V. Franchi, Fabio Sarto, Boštjan Šimunič, Rado Pišot, and Elena Monti.

Their publications appear regularly in several journals, most notably:

  • Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports
  • Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise
  • Journal of Cachexia Sarcopenia and Muscle
  • Frontiers in Physiology
  • Physiology

The body of work of Narici and collaborators addresses physiological changes associated with inactivity, aging, and altered muscle mechanics. For example, their studies examine the effects of immobilization and bed rest on muscle atrophy and strength loss, neuromuscular junction instability, and altered calcium handling in human muscles. The impact of extracellular matrix alterations on muscle function during aging is also among their research topics.
