Organisation
Exercise Physiology Research Group
Division
Main organisation:Department of Movement Sciences
Lifecycle:1 Oct 2005 → Today
Organisation profile:
Research Exercise Physiology is one of the five units of the departement of Movement Sciences. The specific research lines of each research group all relate to the two central themes: Health & Well-being and Sports & Performance. As such, the two overarching research themes constitute the explicit link between the research groups.
Keywords:Physical activity
