Philip von Rosen

I am an Associate Professor at the Division of Physiotherapy, Department of NVS, KI, with research focused on physical activity and sports medicine. In 2017, I defended my thesis titled "Injuries, Risk Factors, Consequences, and Injury Perceptions in Adolescent Elite Athletes." From 2018 to 2020, I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at KI and have since combined research with teaching. I have strong expertise in data analysis and hold a specialist degree in physiotherapy.

My research focuses on disease prevention, the effects of physical activity, and the relationship between lifestyle factors and health. I investigate: a) the association between physical activity and disease risk, b) how physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep throughout the day influence various health outcomes, and c) interventions, such as M-Health, to prevent disease and promote health. My work integrates epidemiology, methodological development, and intervention research, applying advanced statistical methods. I have successfully secured grants from SFO-V, AFA, Cancerfonden, and the Centrum för Idrottsforskning. I currently supervise three PhD students and co-supervise another three, and I serve as the deputy group leader of the research group "Physical Activity and Sports Medicine with focus on prevention".

I am deeply committed to education and learning, actively working to develop and enhance courses with a strong focus on student-centered learning. I have completed courses in pedagogy, distance learning, course design, and the use of online tools to promote engagement and learning. In my teaching, I aim to inspire students to find their own motivation and take an active role in their pursuit of knowledge. My teaching primarily covers musculoskeletal disorders, research methodology, and statistics, and I have extensive experience supervising bachelor’s and master’s level students.
