个人简介

I started my professional career in 2001 as research-assistant at the VU-University, Amsterdam, where I also obtained master degrees in ‘Human Movement Systems Research’ and ‘Sports Science’ (2003), including a research Abroad Internship at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse. In 2003, I was employed as PhD-student on a research contract at the VU University, performed one of my projects abroad at the Human Performance Laboratory of the University of Calgary, and obtained my PhD in 2008. I modelled sports performance (mostly cycling and speed skating) using physiology and biomechanics to find the optimal pacing strategy. I further developed my research, teaching and professional skills as Teaching Fellow at VU University Amsterdam (2008-2009), as Researcher at the Dutch Institute of Applied Sciences TNO (2008-2009), as Assistant Professor Biomechanics at the University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen (2009-2013) and as Board Member of the Dutch Association of Human Movement Sciences (2010-2013). Handcycling, wheeled mobility, upper body physiology and Paralympic sports received my special attention, but at the same time, central questions remained: what happens when we get fatigued and how can we adequately deal with fatigue to optimize performance (i.e. pacing). How do we decide how to distribute our energy, or at what intensity to exercise? What is optimal training, for elite sports, but also for persons with a disability in daily life performance? In 2013, I took up a new challenge and moved to the University of Essex (UK). I continued my research in the area’s of both health and sports science, supervising several PhD-students and visiting research fellows. Current projects are centred around the following themes: (1) ‘Pacing, fatigue and performance’, in particular in sports involving direct competition such as short-track speed skating (2) Physiology and biomechanics of cyclic propulsion (3) Disability sports and performance (4) Active lifestyle and sports for persons with a disability (see www.ReSpAct.nl), (5) Handcycling and upper body training for persons in a wheelchair.
