Laboratory of Exercise Physiology and Applied Bioenergetics
Understanding the energy mechanisms of human performance
Our Mission
LPEBA is a research laboratory directed by Jonathan Tremblay, Ph.D., affiliated with the School of Kinesiology and Physical Activity Sciences (EKSAP) at the Université de Montréal and the EPIC Centre at the Montreal Heart Institute.
Our laboratory specializes in integrative physiology and bioenergetics. We study how the body produces, transports, and utilizes energy to optimize sports performance, support recreational physical activity, and advance cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation.
Our core research areas include:
- Integrative bioenergetics — ATP synthesis pathways and substrate utilization
- Physiological modeling — Predictive models for performance and cardiac health
- Nutrition & metabolism — Impact of nutritional strategies on metabolic efficiency
- Open-source tools — Software for physiological data analysis
