Current Projects

  • The effectiveness of hypoxic exercise training program on blood pressure and microvascular function for prehypertensive individuals (2023-2028)

    • Fund source: External (NRF) - â‚©412,000,000 KRW

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • Description: In this project, our lab is trying to find an effective and applicable exercise training strategy to improve blunted microvascular function in the prehypertensive humans. For this aim, cutaneous microdialysis technique is used for the assessment of microvascular function. 

​

  • Conditioning and recovery strategy for exercise performance (2024-2026)

    • Fund source: Internal (JBNU) - â‚©17,000,000 KRW

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • Description: This project develops optimal and applicable conditioning strategies before or after fatiguing exercise. Also, we assess various recovery methods from the perspective of cardiovascular and metabolic system in our body. The ultimate goal of this project is to apply the developed strategies to the elite athletes of diverse sports for their maximal performance and minimal risks of injury.

Past Projects

  • Effect of acute hand cooling on ACL injury risks in females during landing (2024-2025)

    • Funding source: Intramural (National University Development Project at JBNU) - â‚©10,000,000 KRW

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • Description: This study investigates how acute hand cooling affects Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk during landing in fatigued female athletes. By analyzing joint movements and muscle strength, this research aims to propose injury prevention strategies for women and evaluate the effectiveness of hand cooling in reducing ACL injury risk.

​

  • Development of hypoxic exercise training program for the elderly humans with impaired microvascular function: pilot study (2019-2022)

    • ​Fund source: External (NRF: 2019R1F1A1062693) - â‚©137,500,000 KRW 

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • ​Description: In this project, our lab is trying to find an effective and applicable exercise training strategy to improve blunted microvascular function in the elderly humans. For this aim, cutaneous microdialysis technique is used for the assessment of microvascular function.

  • 2019 Young Movers (2019)

    • Funding source: Extramural (Descente Sports Foundation) - â‚©10,000,000 KRW

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • Description: Our lab led a YOUNG MOVERS project funded by the Descente Sports Foundation, focusing on sports education for children. Our team developed and implemented structured physical activity programs in local communities, aiming to enhance motor skills, promote active lifestyles, and foster positive attitudes toward exercise among young participants.

  • Role of brain toll like receptor 4 in obesity-induced hypertension (2018-2021)​

    • Fund source: External (American Heart Association: 18POST33990225) - $110,000 USD

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • Description​: This project investigates roles of TLR4 in the subfornical organ (SFO); a unique CNS nuclei that is situated outside of the blood-brain barrier. Overall aim is to test the hypothesis that an SFO TLR4-ROS-NFkB network mediates sympathetic overactivity and hypertension during obesity
