Our Research
We study the link between physical activity and health, the effect of exercise interventions on habitual physical activity levels, and the prevention of sports injuries. We use movement sensors to obtain objective measures of physical activity and link these to health outcomes. We also experiment with new methods of rehabilitation. Our vision is to increase health, especially among individuals with risk factors, disabilities or injuries through high quality epidemiological and intervention/implementation research in the area physical activity and sports medicine.
Our research combines epidemiology, method development and intervention research. We use both quantitative and qualitative methods.
