What Do We Know, and Where Do We Go From Here? — Dr Benedikt Meixner

I am a sports scientist interested in exercise physiology, human performance, and the bioenergetics of exercise. My research focuses on lactate dynamics, glycolytic metabolism, and concepts of performance limitation across sprint and endurance contexts. To investigate these topics, I use approaches such as cardiopulmonary exercise testing, lactate profiling, and near-infrared spectroscopy. I am also interested in sex differences, body composition and scaling, as well as the use of AI tools in research and sport education.
