About

Abigail Mackey is a Clinical Professor of Muscle Physiology and Regeneration after Traumatic Soft-tissue Injury at Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark. Her research focuses on muscle biology, injury repair mechanisms, and the effects of exercise on muscle and brain resilience. Recent publications include studies on myofibre morphology, anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse effects on tendons, and the role of prehabilitative exercise in mitigating disuse effects.
