EXTENDING PHYSICAL LIMITS
The first edition of our AISS Knowledge Session “Extending Physical Limits” on Friday the 24th of March was a succes! It was all about extending physical limits in health and disease. We had an interesting program with researchers that shared their knowledge covering various sports and research topics.

Prof.dr. Andrew Jones (University of Exeter, UK, and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise) research focusses on the mechanism underlining speed and endurance. He worked with Eliud Kipchoge on the Breaking 2 project, the culmination of which was the first sub-two-hour marathon in history.
Next to our main keynote we had 4 researchers from within the AISS network that gave a brief insight about their research projects; for more information have a look at the schedule below. Afterwards we had reserved time for the audience to ask questions, discuss the presented topics, share knowledge and have the opportunity to have an informal chat and meet each other.
