My undergraduate course was in physical education and I have always worked with exercise. 
I finished my master in Neuroscience at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in 2014, working in the Cell Physiology lab, where the subject of study was a molecular chaperone, HSP70, induced in the hypothalamus by high intensity exercise and its relationship with lactate metabolism.
