Lukas Bleher

Lukas Bleher is a sport psychology researcher based in Cologne, Germany. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and is currently completing his Master's degree in Psychology of Sport and Exercise at the German Sport University Cologne.

His Master's thesis focuses on combining psychological and physiological measures to assess cognitive performance and self-regulation in sports-related contexts. Specifically, Lukas is working with an HRV battery, examining cardiac vagal activity as a physiological marker of autonomic regulation and its relationship with cognitive task performance.

From October 2025 to October 2026, his research investigates how heart rate variability interacts with attentional control, executive functioning, and performance under varying task demands. In parallel, Lukas draws on his experience as a licensed tennis coach to connect experimental findings with applied sport settings.
