This group conducts research on the physiology in certain environments such as space, confined environments, high-altitude environments, remote areas, hyperbaric environments, etc.\r\n\r\nThe marine research of this group focuses on the study of the physiology during diving activities. Furthermore, the group is also interested in remote area medicine and wellness as well as preconditioning or training activities. This research field can be applied to seafarers or sailors, submariners, etc.","AbstractOtherLang":"Het laboratoire de Physiologie Environnementale et Occupationnelle behoort tot het Département Paramédical van de Haute école Paul-Henri Spaak. In deze groep wordt onderzoek verricht naar de fysiologie in bepaalde omgevingen zoals de ruimte, begrensde omgevingen, grote hoogtes, hyperbare omgevingen, etc.\r\n\r\nHet mariene onderzoek van deze groep richt zich in de eerste plaats op de studie van de fysiologie tijdens duiktochten. Verder is er ook interesse in geneeskunde en welzijn in afgelegen gebieden en in preconditionering en training.
