Our strategy: Many athletic performances are critically dependent on metabolic function, and physical training is effective in preventing and treating metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and obesity. The Exercise Biology group at the TU Munich therefore aims to investigate topics related to sports and metabolism often with disease relevance. We often use state-of-the-art methods of metabolic research such as arteriovenous metabolomics analyses and metabolic flux analyses as well as methods of molecular sports physiology. Our main goal with this strategy is to mechanistically answer important unanswered questions in the field. We want to discover new phenomena that help athletes optimize their performance, help patients recover, and ultimately help all people who want to stay fit and healthy for a long time.
Das Modul kann im Wahlkatalog „Complementary Subjects“ der Masterstudiengänge eingebracht werden. Wir planen ab dem Sommersemester 2017 ein neues Wahlmodul Mountain Sports (Bergsport) anzubieten. In diesem Modul kombinieren wir drei Stärken der TUM:
die Nähe zu den Alpen,ein interdisziplinäres…

Munich 28.9.2016. Munich has a great muscle research scene and so it was only natural to copy the Londoners to regularly organize a meeting of the “muscle heads”. This was already the 3rd meeting this year organized by Prof. Dr. Agnes Görlach and her team of the “Experimental and Molecular…
