On Tuesday, December 2, the Laboratory of Sports and Nutrition Research (LSNR) at Riga Stradiņš University (RSU) will be officially opened. The event will be attended by RSU management, cooperation partners, and other invited guests.
LSNR is the first scientific laboratory of its kind in Latvia, and one of its main goals is to strengthen international cooperation. It serves as an important platform for students and researchers, promoting the development of scientific excellence at RSU and the international visibility of the university.
The laboratory was formed on 6 February 2024 with the aim to study the effects of physical activity, acute stress, and nutrition on health. Its task is to identify mechanisms that improve physical fitness and promote recovery, as well as to analyze biochemical and physiological processes at both the human and cellular levels. LSNR integrates sports science into its research and works closely with Latvian Academy of Sport Education.
The laboratory serves as a shared resource center for researchers and industry partners, as well as providing study and continuing education opportunities. LSNR uses modern research equipment, including metabolic analyzers (Cosmed Q-NRG Max), body composition measurement technology (DEXA scan) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (Cosmed Quark CPET), which enable high-precision examinations and research within various projects.
In recent months, the laboratory has undergone extensive infrastructure modernization — changing rooms and showers have been built, office space has been created and furnished, and all the necessary rooms have been adapted for full-fledged work.
