معرفی
Nicolas Berger is a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at the School of Health & Life Sciences, Teesside University, affiliated with the Centre for Rehabilitation. He holds a PhD from the University of Exeter on 'The Effects of Fitness and Training on VO2 Kinetics.' His research focuses on endurance and ultra-endurance performance optimization, environmental physiology, sports nutrition, and exercise's role in mental and physical health improvement.
- Education: BSc Sport Science (University of Brighton), MSc Exercise Physiology (Manchester Metropolitan University), PhD (University of Exeter)
- Teaching: Exercise Physiology, Applied Sport Science, Environmental Physiology at undergraduate and postgraduate levels
His research interests include analyzing elite sports performance (cycling, running, ultra-endurance events), nutritional strategies, ergogenic aids, and the impact of exercise on longevity. He has collaborated with athletes across disciplines (boxing, kayaking, triathlon) and supported record-breaking events like the 7-day treadmill run by Sharon Gayter and extreme mountain ascents.
He currently supervises PhD students exploring cyclist training strategies and has previously guided two completed PhDs. He leads projects like the 'Systematic Review Protocol on Training Intensity Distribution Models in Cycling.'
Key collaborations include work on anti-doping policies in e-cycling and interdisciplinary analyses of ultra-endurance limits. His lab focuses on practical applications of physiological insights to improve athlete performance and public health.
