Othmar Moser

Prof. Dr. Othmar Moser serves as Professor of Exercise Physiology and Metabolism at the Institute of Sports Science, University of Bayreuth, within the Faculty of Humanities. He concurrently holds a position as Lead Scientist at the Diabetes, Physical Activity and Sport Specialized Ambulatory Clinic, Division of Endocrinology and Diabetology, University Hospital for Internal Medicine in Graz.

His research focuses on sports and exercise in diabetes therapy (types 1 and 2), metabolic syndrome interventions, glucose sensor accuracy, competitive sports support for diabetics, and medication-exercise interactions. His work bridges physiological changes in diabetes, carbohydrate metabolism, and lactate dynamics through rigorous clinical investigations.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on glucose management during physical activity, intermittent fasting interventions, continuous glucose monitoring performance, and cardiometabolic adaptations in diabetic populations. His research increasingly incorporates advanced sensor technology and closed-loop insulin delivery systems evaluation.

Scientific Recognition:

• Langerhanspreis der Österreichischen Diabetes Gesellschaft (2021)
• ÖDG 1st Place for Best Publication (2020)
• ADA Presidents' Select Abstract Presentation (2019)
• EASD Travel Grant (2018)
• Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (2016)

As an active researcher and clinician-scientist, Moser leads investigations into exercise physiology applications for diabetes management. His collaborative work spans multiple European institutions with significant contributions to international guidelines including ISPAD Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines. He serves as Editor for PLOS One (Physiology) and various guest editorial roles.

His laboratory focuses on real-time physiological monitoring during exercise, glucose dynamics in athletic populations, and translational applications of sensor technology for diabetes management. Current projects examine hybrid closed-loop systems during maximal exertion and intermittent fasting protocols for metabolic health.
