Exercise, Training & Technology

My research aim is to increase the understanding of acute response and chronic adaptation following exercise and training.

With my research, I aim to provide evidence for the optimization of exercise and training to enhance aspects of performance or health.

My research is around (but not limited to):

1) Analysis and comparison of exercise and training interventions on health- and performance-related parameters.

2) Evidence-based and data-informed recommendations for individualized optimization of exercise and training procedures

3) New technologies (e.g. Wearable Technologies, AI) to improve the analysis and optimization of exercise and training interventions.

I am a researcher specializing in exercise and training sciences. My primary focus is on investigating the acute and chronic physiological effect of various exercise and training procedures on performance and health in different populations (from inactive to highly active and elite athletes).

Within this research field, one of my major research interests is to evaluate, employ and develop or enhance different technologies that either can elucidate factors which affect aspects of performance or health or which can be useful for athletes and coaches to individualize exercise and training procedures.

The basis of my work is grounded in scientific evidence around movement, exercise and training procedures in different populations and settings.

Based on this, I perform research and support in finding evidence for new exercise and training procedures and evaluate technologies (e.g. Wearables).

I am involved in teaching and education of different populations around topics related to exercise, training and technology and can set up (higher) education courses

I communicate scientific findings in order to increase understanding about exercise, training and the correct use of technology.

I consult to partners in order to effectively integrate scientific findings into practice
