Jesper Franch is an Associate Professor at Aalborg University's Department of Health Science and Technology within The Faculty of Medicine. He leads the ExerciseTech research group and serves as Principal Investigator (PI) on a 2022-2025 project integrating entrepreneurship into health science curricula. His ORCID (0000-0002-8668-2385) and Scopus profile document prolific research activity spanning 30 years.
Research focuses on exercise physiology, biomechanics of aging populations, and exoskeleton technology. Key areas include gait analysis with inertial measurement units, metabolic efficiency in runners, and cardiovascular responses in seniors using assistive devices. Notable work examines exoskeleton effects on mobility under dual-task conditions and cognitive load impacts.
Recent publications (2023-2024) emphasize exoskeleton reliability testing, gait characteristics in seniors, and metabolic benefits of carbon plate footwear. Earlier contributions include studies on beetroot juice supplementation in cyclists and prostate cancer rehabilitation protocols.
