Ball laboratory provides advanced solutions for the performance analysis of ball sports during training and competition in connection with teaching, coaching and researching, as well as leasing for relevant course activities.
Laboratories
Research facilities on campus.
The projects at the Biochemical Laboratory examine the regulation of metabolism (energy metabolism) during and after exercise. The projects have both a performance perspective (e.g. recovery after hard exercise) and a health perspective (e.g. the effect of training on glucose tolerance).
We quantify the mechanics of how humans move, to understand both physical performance and injury risk.
The laboratory is one of several laboratories at IFP that are used to study how the body reacts to acute exercise, mainly running and cycling.
The muscle function laboratory hosts experiments on the macroscopic structure, function and plasticity of skeletal muscles and tendons.
At the muscle lab, we investigate muscular adaptations to physical exercise, aging and immobilization, the mechanisms which control and regulate these adaptations and how these adaptations affect muscle function and performance.
The lab develops and deploys technology to measure performance in training and competition for sports such as swimming, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, ski jumping, freeskiing and snowboarding, football and handball, and orienteering.
The laboratory is used for research and teaching in the field of the respiratory system.
The sports psychology laboratory can, among other things, create an environment which, in as realistic a way as possible, simulates what is experienced during the actual exercise of activities.
