Björn Rosengren Our research The focus is to examine the effects of physical activity on fracture and fall risks. In addition, we also study its impact on specific bone and muscle traits and the link to inflammation. Inactivity or sedentary behavior is a separate entity that seems to be important for many diseases. Therefore, it is also included in the research program in terms of early risk facto

Daniel Lindqvist Our research The overreaching hypothesis that frames our work is that depressive disorders are accompanied by, if not caused by, identifiable biological abnormalities that contribute to both the psychological and somatic aspects of these illnesses. This is a comprehensive hypothesis involving the study of several biomarkers, including (but not limited to) cellular stress, inflamma

Carys Egan-Wyer Our research My research critically explores how people consume endurance experiences—such as triathlon, obstacle adventure racing, and ultra-distance running—and what those consumption patterns can tell us about contemporary society. The findings question the idea that endurance experiences are an escape from the demands of everyday life. Instead, it shows that social (especially

Tomas Deierborg Our research Physical activity is linked with a reduced risk of somatic disorders. Interestingly, exercise also affects the inflammatory status in the body. We study how physical activity affects the molecular processes involved in different brain disorders. Our exercise research ranges from experimental animal studies to epidemiological studies on the Swedish population. By modeli

Tina Mattsson Our research This research concerns how elements of sports and physical activities, as part of institutional addiction treatment, support normative ideas about gender, age, and body. Using theoretical concepts such as functionality, body normativity, and the normative, I explore how institutional staff reason about physical activities in relation to different client groups.

Our research Our research focuses on how environmental factors, urban planning and infrastructures affect our health on a populational level. We want to know how different factors in our surroundings might improve or worsen our health. With health, we consider both physical and psychological aspects.

Till Koglin Our research Urban, transport and mobility planning have a major impact on how people can use the urban spaces and how people can move in the city. Thus, by exploring how urban public spaces and spaces of mobility can be transformed and redeveloped for people and not for cars, peoples’ physical activities can increase by moving through urban spaces as pedestrians or cyclists. This will

- about the project The concept of deep time is a result of the insights into Earth’s multi-billion-year history. Most of this time our planet harbored life. Animals likely arose as far back as 800 million years ago. Their increased speed of movement, as compared to other life forms, very soon led to the evolution of a nervous system that integrated sensory organs with motor movements. This was th
