Up one levelLaboratory of Exercise Biochemistry
The laboratory of Exercise Biochemistry aims at producing scientific knowledge in the fields of exercise and sport nutrition. The main aim of the laboratory is to reveal the molecular mechanisms through which exercise and nutrition affect the function of human organism.
Laboratory for the Study of Muscle Structure and Function & Clinical Studies
The Laboratory for the study of Muscle structure and function & Clinical Studies (MCS) aims at promoting research in the effects of exercise on the molecular structure and function of skeletal muscle and the understanding of muscle fatigue and weakness. Furthermore, MCS aims on the improvement – through exercise – of the quality of life of individuals with chronic diseases or injuries. Additionally, MCS researchers are also interested in the support of high-caliber athletes through the evaluation of their physical performance and service provision using methodologies of applied exercise physiology.
Laboratory for Human Movement Analysis
The laboratory of Biomechanics aims at promoting research on the mechanical aspects of human movement and the development of innovative products and applications that will further lead to the improvement of human movement and quality of life.
Interdisciplinary Research
The mission of the Interdisciplinary Research Section is the cooperation of the Center's main laboratories in order to resolve complex mechanical and biological issues and link them to technological research and the industry for the development of innovative products. Our staff has been involved in various European and National funded programmes.
Laboratory of Prevention and Treatment of Obesity
The Laboratory of Prevention and Treatment of Obesity (LPTO) aims to promote research in the area of prevention and treatment of obesity and to disseminate information on the risks of being obese.
Living Lab Thessaly
The Living Lab Thessaly (LLT) is a consortium of private and public bodies that constitute an innovative pole of reference for knowledge promotion focusing on “Quality of Life”. As such, the LLT aspires to exploit the unique climate, economic and societal conditions of Greece and facilitate testing for quality of life services and strategies in large populations. LLT is a founding member of the European Network of Living Labs (http://www.openlivinglabs.eu/) and one of the few of its kind in the Southeastern Europe. Moreover, the partners who comprise the LLT are already active in European-driven community and research efforts.
Laboratory studying the Functional Architecture of Man in its Environment (Fame Lab)
FAME lab conducts research that illuminates latent physiological mechanisms that regulate human adaptations to environmental influences. While we explore the effects of various environmental factors, our main research focus lies on physiological mechanisms and neuronal pathways that regulate thermal homeostasis, including homeostatic and circadian inputs, behavioral thermoregulation, human temperature/heat regulation, responses to allostatic inputs (e.g., inflammatory stimuli), thermal basis of peripheral vasomotor tone, as well as hypothalamic regulation of thermal homeostasis.
