معرفی
Grith Stougaard Højfeldt is a Research Fellow in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. Her research focuses on exercise physiology, muscle biology, and tendon function, with particular emphasis on aging, rehabilitation, and nutritional interventions.
Her primary research interests include:
- Skeletal muscle regeneration and adaptation
- Tendon physiology and injury mechanisms
- Nutritional requirements for healthy aging, particularly protein metabolism
- Exercise interventions for older adults and pre-surgical patients
- Muscle aging and sarcopenia prevention
- Sports medicine and injury recovery
Dr. Højfeldt's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of exercise science, muscle physiology, and nutritional science, particularly as they relate to aging populations. Her work spans basic science investigations of muscle and tendon biology to clinical applications of exercise and nutrition interventions, with several publications examining protein requirements for older adults and the effects of exercise on surgical outcomes.
Her scientific contributions have been recognized through citations in Scopus and engagement across social media platforms, with several of her publications garnering significant attention in both academic and public spheres. Her 2023 review on dietary protein requirements for older adults has been particularly influential with 29 Scopus citations and 122 Mendeley readers.
Dr. Højfeldt actively collaborates with researchers across multiple institutions and disciplines, contributing to a robust network in sports medicine, muscle physiology, and nutritional science. Her work appears in high-impact journals including The Journal of Physiology, American Journal of Sports Medicine, and Nutrition Research Reviews, demonstrating consistent scholarly productivity from 2023 through 2025.
