The Laboratory of Applied Biology and Research Unit in Applied Neurophysiology are part of the Faculty for Motor Sciences and are located on the Health Sciences campus (Erasmus campus). The laboratory has an experience of more than 35 years of research on the neuromechanics of human motor control. The current research projects focus on the central and peripheral control of various motor tasks, the age-related changes of the neuromuscular system, the adjustments of the nervous system during muscle fatigue, the adaptations to stretching, strength training and disuse, and the neural basis of techniques used in sports and rehabilitation.
