Knowledge Session: “Extending Physical Limits”

7 maart 2023

EXTENDING PHYSICAL LIMITS

We are very exited to invite you to join us on Friday the 24th of March for the first edition of our AISS Knowledge Session. “Extending Physical Limits” is all about extending physical limits in health and disease. We have an interesting program with researchers that will share 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 have 4 researchers from within the AISS network that will give a brief insight about their research projects; for more information have a look at the schedule below. Afterwards we have 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.
