 Profile

Valerio Giustino studied at University of Palermo (Italy) where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Sciences of Physical Activities and Sports in 2014, he took a First-Level University Master's program in Posturology and Biomechanics in 2015, and a Master’s degree in Sciences and Techniques of Preventive and Adapted Physical Activities in 2017. In 2018 he got a Second-Level University Master's program in Planning and Conduction of Physical Exercise in Exercise-Sensitive Diseases at University of Verona (Italy). Afterwards, he began a PhD candidate at University of Palermo (Italy), and he is currently in the third year of the program.
