The working group “Sports Science and Performance Physiology” aims at developing new concepts in sports therapy for chronically ill patients and at evaluating the effects of those concepts on the cardiovascular system and the muscle mass. We especially focus on examining the positive effects of individual sports concepts on the life quality of ill people and on the recovery process.
Gastrointestinal basic research, food intolerances, and microbiota
The working group “Gastrointestinal Basic Research” examines the basic causes for food intolerances and food allergies with special focus on celiac disease and gluten intolerance. We aim at developing an individual, patient oriented diagnostic and therapy. In addition, we examine the influence of gut bacteria (microbiota) on health and various diseases.
