The Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG) aims to define optimal exercise programs for everyday people in order to increase the likelihood of development and preservation of good health throughout life. We study the effect of exercise as a medicine in order to treat heart and lifestyle related diseases.

The group consists of eminent scientists, technicians, medical doctors and promising research talent from all over the world. CERG is localised in the fully integrated St. Olavs University Hospital in Trondheim, Norway. In 2011, CERG achieved the prestigious honour of becoming a K.G. Jebsen Center for Medical Research. The group is headed by Professor Ulrik Wisløff.
