Hogeschool van Arnhem en NijmegenNetherlands

Dr. Thijs Eijsvogels is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at Radboud University Medical Centre (Radboudumc) in Nijmegen, Netherlands. With a background in exercise physiology trained at Radboud University, Hartford Hospital, and Liverpool John Moores University, he has established himself as a leading researcher in the field of exercise cardiology and physiology. Dr. Eijsvogels' research primarily focuses on the physiological and cardiac responses to exercise across the entire activity spectrum, from sedentarism to extreme endurance exercise. His work investigates both the benefits and potential deleterious effects of exercise, with particular attention to cardiovascular risk, coronary atherosclerosis in athletes, exercise-induced cardiac troponin elevations, and thermoregulation during physical activity. He has published extensively on how different exercise volumes and intensities affect cardiovascular health outcomes. His recent publication record (2024-2025) shows a strong focus on the 'exercise paradox' - examining why while exercise generally improves cardiovascular health, very high volumes may be associated with increased coronary artery calcification in some middle-aged and older athletes. His research employs diverse methodologies including large cohort studies, randomized controlled trials, and systematic reviews, often using objective measurement tools for activity and cardiovascular assessment. Dr. Eijsvogels leads his own research lab at Radboudumc and maintains extensive collaborative networks with institutions worldwide. His work has significant clinical implications for exercise prescription, athlete monitoring, and cardiac rehabilitation programs, particularly regarding sedentary behavior interventions for coronary artery disease patients and understanding exercise-induced biomarker changes.
