The Physiology section studies how the human body functions during exercise under different physiological conditions and how the body adapts to training and inactivity.
In cooperation with sports and rehabilitation institutions, we combine fundamental and applied research to understand and improve human movement. We investigate at different levels (molecular, organ and whole body) in healthy people, elderly people, elite athletes, and diverse patient populations. We have a muscle analysis lab (Laboratory for Myology) for histological and molecular research, and a human performance lab where we can simulate environmental factors.
