Research interests

The majority of my ongoing projects are related to resistance training-induced neuromuscular adaptations in various research groups. I am involved in a diverse range of exercise training research projects in humans and examining exercise-training adaptations with animal models. My main research interests are neuromuscular adaptations to resistance training and muscle hypertrophy, cellular and molecular events modulating skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise training, inter-individual variability in training-induced adaptations, physical loading and recovery profiles following different kind of exercises, and applications of resistance training in sport performance. The research aim is to study physiological basis of training adaptations, identifying sources of variability in responsiveness to training, and investigating the specific role of exercise training in sport and health promotion.
