Jon Irazusta

I am a Full Professor of Physiology at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). I teach Physiology on Degrees of Medicine and Physiotherapy and in the Master’s Degree on Healthy Ageing and Quality of Life. My research has been focused on physical activity/sports physiology. In recent years, my most relevant contributions were the studies on the benefits of physical exercise on vulnerable collectives such as older people and their caregivers. I am the leader of the AgeingOn research group and I have published more than 170 research articles in scientific journals and supervised 28 Ph.D. thesis.
