Daniel Marcos-Frutos

I am a sports scientist pursuing a PhD on the differences between free-weight and machine-based strength training. I am conducting my research at the University of Granada, Spain, with a predoctoral grant from the Spanish Ministry of Universities. My work has an applied focus, investigating which training modality, free weights or machines, promotes greater adaptations, with the goal of guiding exercise selection for trainers and practitioners.
