Rieneke Terink PhD

Rieneke Terink is a Phd graduate of the department of Human Nutrition and Health at Wageningen University & Research. Her PhD project focussed on Exercise stress (markers), micronutrients and training load. She performed research looking at changes in micronutrients and cytokines after exercise, and analyzed tools to measure training load. In addition Rieneke investigated the effect of nutrition on the exercise-induced immune response after high- and low carbohydrate diets. The goal is to find markers that are helpful in monitoring athletes during training (over)load. In her current job as a scientific researcher at Sports Valley, she focusses on ‘exercise is medicine’ and nutritional strategies for - injured- athletes.
