Symposium for Gisela Sjøgaard
The symposium is a tribute to the development within Physical activity and clinical exercise during Gisela Sjøgaard’s 40 years of research in muscular function. It also marks the 20 years anniversary of Gisela’s appointment as IOB’s first professor 1. September 1997. Finally, it marks Gisela’s inauguration as professor emeritus in 2017.
