Onderzoekt de klinische en moleculaire effecten van verschillende vormen van inspanning en trainingsmodaliteiten in personen met obesitas, diabetes, en cardiovasculaire aandoeningen. Zijn missie in zijn onderzoek is 'het onderbreken of omkeren van de progressie van cardiometabole ziekten door precisie-inspanningsinterventie'. Hij is (co-)auteur van >200 wetenschappelijke artikelen in internationale medische tijdschriften, waaronder Europese richtlijnen voor clinici werkzaam in de cardiovasculaire geneeskunde en revalidatie.
