Her scholarship spans cardiology, sports medicine, public health, and kinesiology, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to cardiovascular prevention and health promotion.[1]

Research Contributions

  • Assessment of cardiovascular responses to exercise under varying behavioral conditions, including alcohol consumption.
  • Investigation of sleep quality, motivation, and mental health among Paralympic athletes.
  • Evaluation of caffeine-related effects on glycaemia and blood pressure in combat sports participants.
  • Analysis of physical activity patterns and self-rated health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Publications

Selected publications include studies in Nutrients, Sports, Turkish Journal of Kinesiology, and O Mundo da Saúde. Notable recent works examine cardiovascular responses to exercise and alcohol interaction and predictive factors associated with athlete mental health during social isolation.[4]

Research Impact

The practical implications of Fonseca’s work extend to exercise prescription, athlete monitoring, and preventive cardiovascular care. By integrating physiological measures with behavioral indicators, her studies support more comprehensive approaches to health promotion and performance optimization.[5]

Award Suitability

Fonseca’s multidisciplinary output aligns with the objectives of the International Research Awards on Cardiology & Cardiovascular Medicine. Her emphasis on translational research, preventive health strategies, and evidence-informed interventions demonstrates relevance to current priorities in cardiovascular science and population health.[6]
