Frédéric Margue (M.Sc. Diagnostics and Training) is currently employed as “Head of Performance” at LIHPS, which he joined in 2019. He is an expert for exercise physiology with a strong knowledge in performance diagnostics and endurance sports. He provides sport scientific counselling to athletes and coaches related to results from metabolic tests, recommendations regarding endurance training and also advises them on thermoregulation, hypoxia and other physiological topics. Before, he was in charge of creating the sport science concept for the « High Performance Training & Recovery Centre », which is now managed by the LIHPS and used by the Luxembourgish elite athletes.
Eric Besenius is a sports scientist (M.Sc. Sports Science in Elite Sports) who specialises in exercise physiology. He started his career as a research assistant at the Sports Medicine Research Laboratory of the Luxembourg Institute of Health in 2014. In 2019, he assumed a role as a sports scientist at the CHL Sports Clinic, primarily concentrating on performance diagnostics. Simultaneously, he became part of the LIHPS as a sports scientist, where he focuses on enhancing the performance and recovery of Luxembourg’s elite athletes in the field of performance physiology.
