"I believe that a holistic approach to each athlete is the right path to help, which I can provide as a doctor. It is also the only path to top results in sports, as the best individuals are separated by only small percentages in results. Only with a professional, science-based approach and the latest research findings can we offer athletes an advantage that they can use for top results."

 

In my professional, research and scientific work, I mainly focus on the physiological aspects of the stress on athletes. Using a broad approach to the issues of everyone present in the clinic, I strive to preventively target those health points that may be problematic in the future, and where necessary, I also treat existing deficiencies in health and performance. When treating athletes, I use the knowledge I acquired as an employee at the Faculty of Sport, where I completed my doctorate in energy metabolism in competitive sport.

 

Prevention and early detection are the keys to results in top-level sports. By analyzing an athlete's ability, determining individually tailored training loads, and monitoring regeneration, we can optimize an athlete's abilities throughout the season, not just when problems arise. I believe this is the key to success for an athlete's career and also for life after the end of their competitive sports career.”
