From this central interest in the years
Bosco extended his field of research: from muscular mechanics
to energetic metabolism; from neuromuscular activity to hormonal
responses to physical exercise; from biomechanics of movement
to methodology of training; from the studies on fatigue to
the discovery of vibrations as a training method and as a
prevention tool of important diseases such as osteoporosis.
Professor Bosco formed himself in the great physiology school of Northern Europe, Finland in particular, inspired by fathers of physiology and modern Biology like Bernard, Darwin and Selye. But Bosco has always been an outsider, a misfit constantly aiming at breaking myths and changing the status quo. Never satisfied with the level of knowledge, always convinced that there was something more to understand, some unexplored area to discover, never he accepted to sit on his laurels.
For this reason perhaps his many movements, the countless engagements with professional teams and more recently his great interest in using physiology of sports to create the future science of health. After his premature death, together with his body of knowledge, this is the challenge that he left in heritage to us.
