Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Jeg forsker på:
- styrketrening for folk flest, eldre personer og grupper med ulike helseutfordringer
- fysisk aktivitet og trening i rehabilitering
- helse og arbeidsliv
Jeg er studieprogramleder for MSc Physical Activity and Health (start 2019).
Jeg underviser i ulike tema på Master i Bevegelsesvitenskap og Bachelor i Bevegelsesvitenskap
Jeg har bistilling som FoU-leder ved Unicare Helsefort i Rissa. Rehabiliteringssenter for personer med kronisk smerte, hjerneslag, traumatisk hjerneskade, overvekt, eller CFS/ME.
