Do you have the urge to get hands-on experience in sport science research? Do you want to be a part of a devoted and supportive team that includes leading experts in the field? Are you ready to invest time and energy to test subjects, read scientific literature, and learn data analysis?
Under the guidance of Prof. Flemming Dela and Asst. Prof. Dace Reihmane, you will be able to find out the basic concepts of major pitfalls while developing a research idea into a research proposal at this seminar. We encourage students to conduct research as a part of their bachelor's or master's thesis, as well as part of their final research to become medical doctors.
Topics of interest that might be developed
- Exploring new blood biomarkers describing physical performance in breast cancer patients;
- Exploring the effect of acute exercise on cancer cell proliferation;
- Exploring the effect of training on physical performance in breast cancer patients;
- Exploring new blood biomarkers describing physical performance in aging;
- Exploring the effects of training on muscle wasting;
- Other research ideas that fit in the realm of ongoing research might be offered by students.
