Ingrid Kouwijzer was born on November 25th, 1986 in
Terneuzen, the Netherlands. In 2005 she completed secondary school (VWO) in Alphen aan den Rijn and started studying Medicine at Leiden University. During her bachelor program, she performed a clinical internship in a general hospital in Banepa, Nepal. During her master program, she performed a clinical internship in rehabilitation medicine in Monduli, Tanzania; a clinical internship in spinal cord injury rehabilitation at De Hoogstraat, Utrecht, the Netherlands; and a clinical internship in rehabilitation medicine at Leiden University Medical Center and Rijnlands Revalidatie Centrum (currently: Basalt) in Leiden, the Netherlands.
During her research internship she focused on selective activation of wrist muscles in post-stroke patients. After obtaining her Master degree in 2012 she started working as a medical doctor (ANIOS) in rehabilitation medicine at Rijnlands Revalidatie Centrum and in 2013 as a medical doctor (ANIOS) in neurology at Groene Hart Ziekenhuis Gouda, the Netherlands. In the meantime, she started to be involved in sports medicine as a medical assistant at the Leiden Marathon. Eager to learn more on the sports-related, exercise physiological and biomechanical aspects of human movement in general, she started a pre-Master in Human Movement Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2014. In 2016 she obtained her Master degree in Human Movement Sciences, track: Biophysics in Sport. Ingrid performed her research internship at Reade Rehabilitation Center on the effects of functional electrical stimulation applied on trunk muscles of wheelchair rugby athletes with a tetraplegia. During her internship she came in contact with Paralympic classification and she first heard about the HandbikeBattle event. Enthusiastic about handcycling and classification, she started an additional research project about the effect of making a closed chain in handcycling classification and visited the HandbikeBattle event for the first time in 2016. Since that year, Ingrid is a national classifier in cycling and a trainee in international para-cycling classification. In 2016 she started as a PhD student on the HandbikeBattle project at Heliomare Rehabilitation Center & University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen. From 2021 Ingrid works as a Postdoctoral researcher in handcycling at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
