Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, Department of Movement & Sports Sciences
I am leading the research group on Sport Nutrition. Our team, composed of physiologists, dieticians and sport scientists, has strong expertise in the rational development of new sport nutritional supplements. Based on insights in the biochemical processes in skeletal muscles and in the limiting factors of exercise capacity, new nutritional strategies are explored and tested to legally enhance sports performance. Furthermore, dietary applications towards human health are equally investigated.
Our research group occupies the ‘Sport Science Laboratory – Jacques Rogge’, with an exercise lab, analytical lab, climate chamber and nutrition & recovery room.
