Vera Moniz-Pereira has a PhD in Biomechanics and a BSc in Sports Sciences (Exercise and health) from Faculdade de Motricidade Humana – Universidade de Lisboa (FMH – UL). Her interventions as an exercise specialist, have mainly focused on strength, posture, and balance training. Although she has worked with different populations, most of her work was with the elderly population. Currently Vera is an assistant professor and a researcher at FMH – UL, being a part of the neuromechanics research group from the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Human Performance. This research group is located on the Biomechanics and Functional Morphology Laboratory from FMH – UL. Her main research interests include the study of the measurement properties of different instruments (self-report, field tests and laboratory tests) (1); the application of different methodologies (qualitative, quantitative and predictive) used to perform human movement analysis (2); and the effect of exercise programs on mobility and functional fitness in the elderly (3). This research work supports her under and post graduate teaching activity, mainly focused on biomechanics, exercise and ageing. Further, her scientific production, together with the participation in research and community projects, are indicators of the impact of this work on the research community, the professional field, and on the end-users of the exercise programs.
