The Physical Activity, Sports & Health research group conducts research with societal impact on the health, physical fitness and sports performance of individuals and groups across the lifespan. Two research lines can be identified:
1) Physical Activity for Fitness and Health research line
Research topics within the Physical Activity for Fitness and Health research line are guided by the Behavioural Epidemiology ...
Objectives The research activities of FYSC are focused on '(molecular and supramolecular) structure - processing - property' relations in polymers for developing materials with improved performance. An important collection of analytical techniques and characterization procedures is available for this purpose. New macromolecular microstructures are designed by polymer synthesis in collaboration with external partners. A contribution to the ...
The research into the physiological effects of exercise performed in the human physiology lab can be divided into several aspects. We study the effects of physical activity and inactivity on health status and quality of life. These aspects are examined with a longitudinal study where pathophysiological mechanisms and preventive measures are included. Our research into the more practical aspects of exercise and training includes: the influence ...
To assess the role played by the endogenous hormone balance on developmental processes, physiological responses are studied of plants, that has been genetically transformed and are characterized by an increased or decreased endogenous cytokinin content. Several plants, each characterized by a specific transformed genetic construction are used. The effect of the transformation (cytokinine- and CKX-plants) is studied on plant development, ...

The main activity of the research group of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry is the study of environmentally friendly, chemical methods to the synthesis of high-tech, nanostructured inorganic materials.
A water based sol-gel method is developed and optimized successfully for the preparation of ferroelectric, piezoelectric, conductive and dielectric metal oxide powders and thin films (with thicknesses from several hundreds down to a few ...
A physical therapist helps patients with several physical complaints by practicing multiple excercises of physiotherapy.
The merged research group MOVE (= former BEGE+BEPR+MODI groups) was founded in 2020, with Prof. Dr. Eva D’Hondt as current chair, and is part of the Department of Movement and Sport Sciences (BESW) of the Faculty of Physical Education and Physiotherapy (LK). The ‘Movement and Nutrition for Health and Performance’ research group unites the enthusiasm and expertise of young and more experienced researchers, focusing on 3 prominent lines of ...
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.
