Overview

Jens Bangsbo is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with significant contributions to biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology.

The subfields of their work include complementary and alternative medicine, physiology, cell biology, orthopedics and sports medicine, and cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. Their research covers various topics, including cardiovascular and exercise physiology, muscle metabolism and nutrition, sports performance and training, adipose tissue and metabolism, exercise and physiological responses, heart rate variability and autonomic control, and pharmacological effects and assays.

Among their recent papers are:

  • Performance Adaptations to Intensified Training in Top-Level Football (2022) published in Sports Medicine
  • High-intensity interval training remodels the proteome and acetylome of human skeletal muscle (2022) published in eLife
  • Training with blood flow restriction increases femoral artery diameter and thigh oxygen delivery during knee-extensor exercise in recreationally trained men (2020) published in The Journal of Physiology
  • Muscle Ionic Shifts During Exercise: Implications for Fatigue and Exercise Performance (2021) published in Comprehensive Physiology
  • The effect of blood-flow-restricted interval training on lactate and H+ dynamics during dynamic exercise in man (2020) published in Acta Physiologica

Jens Bangsbo frequently collaborates with other researchers, including Morten Hostrup, Søren Jessen, Finland, José A. L. Calbet, and Michael J. Joyner.

Their work has been published regularly in several venues, with the highest number of publications appearing in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. Other notable venues include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), The Journal of Physiology, Science Advances, and Journal of Applied Physiology.
