WOUTER PEETERS

Wouter Peeters completed his university degrees in human movement sciences at Maastricht University, where he grew an interest in the role of nutrition and exercise adaptation. Following his doctoral degree at Massey University, New Zealand under the supervision of Prof. David Rowlands, where he investigated the role of post-exercise protein on insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes, he moved to Newcastle to take on an assistant professor position at the School of Biomedical, Nutritional and Sport Science. Here, he led courses in sport nutrition and energy metabolism whilst his research focussed on nutritional interventions, with a focus on protein intake. He also started to explore the utilisation of technological advancements in the area of indoor cycling. Currently, he has returned to the Netherlands where he now works at de Open Universiteit as a FAIR data steward and combining this with a sport nutrition consultancy business whilst remaining a visiting lecturer at Newcastle University.

FRANK BROCHERIE

Franck Brocherie (@brocherieF) has more than 20 years of experience in team sports’ strength and conditioning at the national, international and world championship/Olympic levels. He is actually senior researcher at the French Institute of Sport (INSEP, Paris, France). His research interest mostly focuses on the impact of the environmental stressors (altitude and/or heat) on exercise-induced fatigue development. Prior to joining INSEP, he previously worked full-time for different professional clubs (e.g. Olympique de Marseilles, CA Brives rugby) and national teams (e.g. Japan and Qatar football associations). He also intervened as consultant/project manager for the “Excellence in Football” project at the Qatar Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Hospital (ASPETAR), accredited FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence. Franck completed a Master in sports sciences before specializing (PhD) in exercise physiology and has authored/co-authored >150 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 16 book chapters and 2 books. He is frequently invited as speaker or consultant with individual- (cycling/mountain biking, kayaking, tennis) and team-sport (soccer, rugby union and sevens, ice hockey) professional squads and Olympic/Paralympic federations concerning innovative (environmental) training and acclimatization/acclimation to challenging conditions. Franck is fellow of the European College of Sport Science (ECSS), member of the European Network in Sports Sciences (ENSS) in environmental physiology, and member of the French network ReFORM, recognized as a Research Centre for the Prevention of Injury and Illness and the Protection of Athletes by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and member of several scientific committees.
