Introduction
I am a researcher and lecturer passionate about exercise physiology, particularly lactate and glycolysis, diagnostics, and their applications in cycling and performance enhancement. My interest extends to team sports, especially basketball.
I hold a position as research associate position at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg. I also am a lecturer at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg. Additionally, I gain practical experience working in a sports medicine laboratory.

As a predictor for anerobic performance in many sports, the maximal glycolytic rate (νLamax) is assessed in a laboratory setting. However, differences between lab-based test and a sport specific field setting remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare ergometer and on-water tests for νLamax in elite youth canoe polo players. Fifteen elite...
Introduction: Endurance athletes often utilize low-intensity training, commonly defined as Zone 2 (Z2) within a five-zone intensity model, for its potential to enhance aerobic adaptations and metabolic efficiency. This study aimed at evaluating intra- and interindividual variability of commonly used Z2 intensity markers to assess their precision in...
Alactic time or phosphagen contribution time is a critical factor in the calculation of vLamax. In our setting, this parameter has shown only poor to moderate reliability, questioning its applicability. This intervention study involving the supplementation of creatine monohydrate has additionally found paradoxical effects: power output is increased...
Background
Sprint performance may be crucial for athletes in sprint and endurance sports. In this regard, the maximal glycolytic rate (νLamax) is a variable within Mader’s model of metabolism that is commonly tested in a 15-s all-out sprint test. The product of lactate accumulation (ΔLa) and lactate distribution space approximated by fat-free mass...
Aim
A 15-s all-out sprint cycle test (i.e., νLamax-test) and the post-exercise change in capillary blood lactate concentration is an emerging diagnostic tool that is used to quantify the maximal glycolytic rate. The goal of this study was to determine the relation between 15 s-work, change in capillary blood lactate concentration (∆La) and body com...
Based on Mader's mathematical model, the rate of capillary blood lactate concentration (νLamax) following intense exercise is thought to reflect the maximal glycolytic rate. We aimed to investigate the reliability of important variables of Mader's model (i.e. power output, lactate accumulation, predominant phosphagen contribution time frames (tPCr)...
