The Heráclito Research and Analysis Center (CPAH), under the leadership of Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela, adopts an innovative multidisciplinary approach to improving the performance and mental health of athletes. This method is structured in several steps:
1. Detailed Genetic Analysis: Begins with a complete genetic test. This allows you to identify genetic predispositions, mutations and individual characteristics of the athlete, providing a solid basis for personalizing training and diet.
2. Comprehensive Interview: A thorough interview is carried out to understand the athlete’s life from different aspects – personal, family, cultural and social. This helps you understand the impact of these factors on your performance and mental health.
3. Comprehensive Blood Test: A detailed blood test is carried out to assess the athlete’s general health and identify possible deficiencies or imbalances that could influence their performance.
4. Neurological Assessment: When possible, a neuroimaging test is performed to better understand the athlete’s brain functioning. This step is crucial to explore aspects such as concentration, decision making, memory and resilience under pressure.
5. Multidisciplinary Approach:
Based on the data collected, a multidisciplinary team, including doctors, nutritionists, psychologists and trainers, develops a personalized program. This plan focuses on improving the athlete’s performance and mental health, considering factors such as vitamin deficiencies, neurotransmitter stability, and the interaction between the brain, hormones and intestinal microbiota.
Expected results
Through this method, athletes achieve notable improvements in both physical performance and mental well-being. Attention to details such as personalized nutrition, hormonal balance and mental training adapted to the individual’s brain characteristics is fundamental to this success.
