Our metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in our body. It converts food into energy to support essential body functions like breathing or digestion and it converts food into building blocks for proteins and other biomolecules. Our metabolism is also responsible for eliminating metabolic waste.

Factors like age, sex and physical activity affect our metabolism. A well-functioning metabolism is not only crucial for our well-being, but malfunctioning may have serious implications for our health. In sports, monitoring of the metabolism is crucial for maintaining high performance.

We at DBI support research activities on monitoring metabolic changes in real-time in different focus areas, including sports performance or sleep-related metabolism.
