Patrick Rodrigues, born in Brazil, completed a double degree in Physical Education and Exercise Science (2007) and a specialization degree in Exercise Physiology (2009) at Uniguaçu University (Brazil). In 2012, he completed a master’s degree in Exercise Physiology at the Federal University of Parana (Brazil) and in 2021 completed his PhD in Exercise Science at Queensland University of Technology (Australia). Currently, Patrick has a Postdoc position at the Medical University of Innsbruck and works in the Sports Medicine Lab at the University of Innsbruck led by Univ.-Prof. Anne Hecksteden.
