Dayanne S. Antonio

I began my journey in Physical Education with the goal of becoming a dance teacher, drawing on my background in ballet. However, my focus shifted to endurance sports when I started training as a runner with my father, a professional runner. This experience sparked my interest in endurance performance, leading me to join a research group at the University of West Santa Catarina, Brazil, where I received a scholarship for a project on injury recovery in cyclists using the Tabata Protocol. My undergraduate dissertation focused on running training methods for 5km and 10km races. Driven by my passion for research, I pursued a master’s degree in physical education at the Federal University of Parana, Brazil. My research explored critical speed in recreational runners and the psychophysiological aspects of runners using the Just Noticeable Difference approach. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student at Florida International University (FIU), where I collaborate with Dr. Marcelo Bigliassi in the field of psychophysiology and neuroscience. I also serve as a Teaching Assistant in the Kinesiology and Physical Education undergraduate program. My research and academic journey are preparing me to pursue a career as a scientist and professor in sports and exercise psychophysiology and neuroscience.
