Stand Up, Stay Top - a theory-based mHealth intervention aimed at the reduction of sedentary behavior in older adults Ghent University
The population of older adults is expected to increase considerably in the coming decades. This increase poses a major public health challenge, as aging is associated with a reduction in physical and cognitive functioning. The decline impedes older adults to live independently, and to maintain their quality-of-life. As a result, the demand for health care will rise dramatically. Emerging evidence shows that sedentary behavior contributes to ...
Stand Up, Stay Top! Tackling sedentary behavior in older adults through a feedback-based intervention Ghent University
The population of older adults is expected to increase considerably in the coming decades. This increase poses a major public health challenge, as aging is associated with a reduction in physical and cognitive functioning and health-related quality-of-life.
Decreasing sedentary behavior – or sitting – might be a promising strategy to foster healthy aging. Yet, few interventions have targeted older adults’ sedentary behavior. Moreover, ...
Physiological, morphological and biomechanical requirelents of the musculo-skeletal system of the lower leg for top sprinters and endurance runners Ghent University
Speed and stamina put competing demands on the design of our locomotor system and several traits of the lower leg are antaginistic pairs with respect to sprinting vs endurance running. This project aims to investigate the physiological and functional anatomical characteristics of the lower leg musculo-ckeletal system that promote excellence in either sprinting or endurance running.

Effects of Intellectual Disability and Sport Expertise on Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Performance KU Leuven
Athletes with intellectual disability (ID) comprise a specific population that allows for the unique examination of the opposing effects of cognitive deficits and sport expertise on postural control and motor-cognitive dual-task performance. On the one hand, there is evidence that individuals with ID have impaired postural control and dual-tasking ability, indicating ID’s negative effect. On the other hand, training related to the acquisition ...
