About the Author

An ex F.C.Porto, and Boavista footballer, nicknamed Valongo. Given several injuries he suffered throughout his career, and the different ways he was rehabilitated, Valongo decided to study medicine-related injuries, gaining a post graduate degree in Cardiovascular and Sports Medicine at University of Glasgow. Fernando, the name of the author also graduated in Sports Science and Health Studies at University of Surrey, and obtained an English Federation of Bodybuilding certificate at West London Institute, now Brunnel University. His sporting career combined with the medical and sports science knowledge gives Fernando the confidence to advise and help people achieve/improve their physical capacity through exercise in a safe manner, as well as treating their injuries.
