Other academic service (administration and management)

Main coordinator of the European Consortium for Research into Biological Movement (Biomove)Director of the Research Institute MOVE of the VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Research expertise

Main professional interests concern short-term changes in metabolic and functional muscle characteristics (fatigue, potentiation) and adaptations to increased and decreased muscle activity as a result of training, disease, bedrest, spinal cord injury and aging. With integrative and translational research, trying to bridge the gap between research at the genetic/molecular level and research performed whole human body level.Key words: Skeletal muscle, fatigue, neuromuscular plasticity, training, rehabilitation, neuromuscular disorders, unloading, disuse, performance

Academic collaborations

Further understanding of the processes involved in the plasticity of the neuromuscular system with training and disuse

Projects and initiatives
