Projects and Studies
Our research questions all revolve around the many motor-cognitive aspects of human movement and control. Our projects are driven by the desire to translate basic research into solutions for real-world problems in health and education. Using an efficient combination of well-established approaches and cutting-edge technologies, we capture the underlying mechanisms of plasticity in the central and peripheral motor control system as well as cognitive adaptations to physical activity or exercise interventions.
The following projects and studies are currently being conducted in our group:
Investigating the mechanisms of healthy ageing and the changes in neuro-muscular control within the multi-disciplinary Department of Health Sciences and Technology allows us to develop procedures with molecular, biomechanical, neurophysiological, neuropsychological, and nutritional aspects.
The long-term strategy of our group extends the aqcuired knowledge to clinical problems. Our focus will continue to be on developing new evidence-based concepts for motor-cognitve exercises aimed at improved corticomuscular activity and physical as well as mental well-being at any stage in life.
