Cardiovascular/Metabolic Disorders

What it is about

You learn the basics of cardiovascular and metabolic health, including relevant mechanisms, risk factors and adaptations through physical activity. You practice handling measurement methods (e.g., IMT, spiroergometry, PWV, accelerometry) and learn to critically evaluate tests as well as to create individualized exercise and study concepts.

What you will be able to do

• analyze current research topics and apply them to your own projects
• understand and analyze cardiovascular disorders and risk factors
• apply innovative measurement methods
• conduct clinical stress tests
• evaluate training programs/health guidelines depending on test results
• plan, conduct, evaluate and document in writing a study on cardiometabolic diseases

What the module consists of

• SeminarScientific mediation of current cardiovascular methods and practical application; supervision of pilot studies and study planning
• Practical exerciseApplying various measurement methods and conducting measurements
• Schreibtraining/MethodenberatungSupport in drafting research proposals, abstracts and articles
