Wouter Peeters

Lecturer

Background

Sport and exercise have always played a central role in my life, driven by competition and performance. The passion for understanding how the human body is capable of these extraordinary performance made me choose my B.Sc. and M.Sc. During my M.Sc. I was introduced into the world of nutrition to optimize sport performance by investigating the effect of different post-exercise proteins on muscle recovery. In my Ph.D., I applied the concept of post-exercise protein intake in a clinical population, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, as these people might benefit from this concept as well. During the Ph.D., I got the opportunity to teach several classes and this led to the continuation of teaching here at Newcastle University. Part of my goal for students is to understand the wider relevance of skills that we teach and how these (non-)theoretical skills might be applicable later on in their career.
