Project

Physiological support for elite athletes in function of Tokyo (TOKIO)

On the basis of this project, scientifically based research can be conducted into the use of ketones in combination with sodium bicarbonate on skeletal metabolic muscle metabolism during endurance-related efforts. In a second project, we will take a close look at how we can best prepare the elite athletes who have to perform during the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo for the extreme weather conditions (30 to 35 degrees and more than 75% humidity). This will not only lead to better performance, but also to a better health of our top athletes. This project will draw individual routes for each athlete.
