Eduardo André

Exercise Physiologist

‘I believe that physical exercise goes far beyond aesthetics or performance - it's a vehicle for personal transformation. Its conscious practice paves the way for a fuller life, providing protection against various chronic diseases, promoting longevity with quality of life, and preserving our health capital."

My journey

My passion for exercise began as a child, pushing me towards an academic career in Physical Education: Degree in physical education, postgraduate qualification in cardiac rehabilitation and master's degree in exercise and health. However, the search for knowledge didn't end with this initial education - on the contrary, it only intensified my curiosity. When I became a personal trainer, I was exposed to various national and international courses that questioned the way I had learnt to look at exercise. The knowledge of biomechanics, anatomy, biochemistry and exercise physiology motivated me to be a better professional - being able to help those who come to me with an evidence-based prescription became the cornerstone of my work.

However, during this journey as a personal trainer I was once again challenged to question my beliefs about the role that physical exercise has, or should have, in promoting health and quality of life. It was the unexpected diagnosis of a congenital heart condition that profoundly impacted these views. Undoubtedly, this experience has transformed my professional approach, making me even more careful, reflective and aware of the importance of individualisation in the prescription of physical exercise.
