The August Krogh Section for Human Physiology

The August Krogh Section for Human Physiology conducts cutting-edge research in the areas of basal human and exercise physiology with a focus on cardiovascular and skeletal muscle physiology in the context of health and disease as well as exercise.

Research groups

 

Our vision is to be at the forefront of cutting-edge research in human physiology through the utilization of invasive human experiments and novel methodologies to understand the mechanisms underpinning human health and disease.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our research program utilizes a top-down approach to develop a mechanistic understanding of cardiovascular and skeletal muscle physiology in the context of health and disease as well as exercise.

For example, the section investigates:

  • Impact of exercise training and/or pharmacological interventions on cardiovascular and muscle health (healthy, aging, disease populations)
  • Optimization of performance in elite athletes through various ergogenic manipulations (training modalities, supplements)
  • Female-specific cardiovascular and skeletal muscle physiology in response to exercise training and/or pharmacological interventions (menstrual cycle, oral contraceptives, menopause)
