The dynamic musculoskeletal profile: an integrated framework for a safer and healthier exercising. KU Leuven
Regular physical activity, fitness, and exercise are critically important for the health and well being of people of all ages. However, in many cases any health benefit caused by physical activity is lost because of a serious musculoskeletal injury. The aim of this research is to develop a new framework expanding current methodologies in human movement analysis, in−vivo musculoskeletal strength testing and medical imaging. This framework will ...

Vascular adaptations to exercise: a role for the carnosine-histidine-histamine pathway? Ghent University
Histamine plays an important role in the acute and chronic vascular adaptations to physical activity. An exercise-induced carnosine-histidine-histamine pathway is most likely an important mediator in these processes. Further insights into the underlying physiological mechanisms can lead to improved health guidelines concerning physical activity, but also to new and improved therapeutic strategies for chronic cardiovascular and metabolic ...
Aspects of local sports policy KU Leuven
The study consists of creating fact sheets based on already collected research material. The fact sheets include relevant indicators, figures and possible other parameters that may be relevant to the development of the municipal policy on sports and exercise.
