A Closer Look: The Bergdahl Lab

Join us for the next installment of the offsite visits exploring the many labs and spaces across Concordia University, giving you a closer look at what happens here!

This session takes us to the HKAP Training Center with researchers working with the Bergdahl Cardiovascular and Performance Physiology Lab at Loyola to see inside the current work happening! 

The Bergdahl Lboratory employs advanced tools to interrogate mechanisms relevant to occlusion-based training, including high-resolution respirometry in permeabilized muscle fibers, confocal imaging to assess mitochondrial and vascular structure, and biomarker analyses targeting metabolic stress, oxidative signaling, and angiogenic pathways. This integrated methodological framework enables rigorous investigation of how KAATSU, traditional Blood Flow Restriction, and related occlusion modalities differentially influence vascular hemodynamics, muscle oxygenation, metabolic signaling, and long-term adaptation.
