Physiology University of Antwerp
Human Movement Biomechanics Research Group KU Leuven
The central research area of the research group ‘human movement biomechanics’ is to investigate the mechanics of musculoskeletal function during gross motor functions (varying from activities of daily living, vocational activities to sports activities) and how the musculoskeletal function is reorganized and adapts to cope with these functions.
Department of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Ghent University
Department of Movement Sciences KU Leuven
The department consists of four research groups with a different focus, but each contributing to the optimization of health, well-being and quality of life in society through physical activity, and to performance improvement in a wide range of physical activities and sports.
Human Physiology and Sports Physiotherapy Research Group Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research group MFYS explores the interaction of exercise on neurochemistry and neurophysiology. The research is concentrated at several levels: Fundamental – Physiological research; Applied – Clinical research and Benchmarking – Policy making research.
Most of the research projects progress through these 3 levels, starting from fundamental studies (e.g. animal studies) through applied, clinical trials, which could lead to ...
