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.
The next Munich Muscle Meeting (MMM) will be held in a hybrid format because of the stable COVID-19 situation. The upcoming meeting is being organized by Maria Spletter, who will host the in-person session at the Department of Physiological Chemistry (Biomedical Center Martinsried, LMU, Room…

Human metabolism is highly variable. At one end of the spectrum, defects of enzymes, transporters, and metabolic regulation result in metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus or inborn errors of metabolism. At the other end of the spectrum, favorable genetics and years of training combine to…

A training plan, or an exercise prescription, is the point where we translate sport and exercise science into practice. As in medicine, good practice requires writing a training plan or prescribing an exercise programme based on the best current scientific evidence. A key issue, however, is that a…

Hamstring strain is the most frequently occurring injury in sport, particularly in those sports that involve (repeated) high-speed running such as football. However, the cause and consequences of repeated maximal sprints over time are insufficiently studied. In this paper published in Scientific…
