Bruno's research area's are:
1) The effects of (sports) injuries on the brain and its interactions with fatigue during rehabilitation (return-to-sport)

A better understanding of the interactions of the brain, sports injuries and fatigue could lead to new and better treatment strategies in clinical practice and a more effective and safer return to sport.

Jo his research area's are:
1) The effects of fatigue on the injury risk profile (with inclusion of the brain) in the context of primary sports injury prevention
