EDUCATION AND PERSONAL DETAILS

Giuseppe Musumeci in 2014 was graduated in Catania University (Medical School). He was then awarded a four-year grant for a Human Movement Science PhD (doctorate). He carried out his research activity at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Orthopedic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (Maryland, USA), the AO Research Institute, Davos (Switzerland) and the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Medical University of Graz (Austria). Currently, he works as Full Professor of Exercise and Sport Sciences at the Department of Biomedical and Biotechnological Sciences, School of Medicine, University of Catania, Italy. He is also Adjunct Professor at the Temple University’s College of Science and Technology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He is also Honorary Professor at the Faculty of Sport Sciences of the Fujan Normal University, China.

Prof. Musumeci is the Director of the Research Center on Motor Activities (CRAM), the Director of the master’s Program, School of Posturology and Physical Exercise Sciences, the Dean of the Exercise and Sport Sciences School, the Head of the Movement Innovation PosturaLab and the Director of the Anatomy Museum at the University of Catania. He is a member of different Italian and international association of Anatomy, Histology, Kinesiology, Sports Medicine and Exercise. Since 2002 until today he has been Peer Reviewer in national and international scientific projects form 15 different Countries and European Community and in several international scientific journals (about 180). Moreover, he is Editor in different international peer-revew journals, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology (MDPI – Q2 journal ranking) and Section Editor-in-Chief in Heliyon Sports Medicine (Cellpress – Q1 journal ranking). Prof. Musumeci has been a speaker and scientific director at several Italian and international meetings and co-authors in several books’ manual regarding anatomy, kinesiology and musculoskeletal disorders. Prof. Musumeci has trained numerous Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows. Musumeci’s research interests are centred on: preventive and adapted physical activity for all chronic non-communicable diseases; adapted physical exercise for health promotion; kinesiology; posturometric activity for the main paramorphism and dysmorphisms of the body; sporting performance; injury prevention and treatment. Other research topics of interest are osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal disorders and the relative effects of diet, ageing and physical activity.
