Forskningsinteresser
Forsker bredt innen fysisk aktivitet og folkehelse, med spesiell interesse for trening og atrieflimmer. Andre forskningsinteresser er fysisk aktivitet og hjerte- og karsykdom, fysisk aktivitet og beinhelse, prevalens, mønster og trender i fysisk aktivitet, sensorteknologi fysisk aktivitet, metodeutvikling - med hovedvekt på epidemiologisk forskning og befolkningsundersøkelser.
Jeg forsker også på spesielle utfordringer knyttet til kvinnelige utholdenhetsutøvere.
Involvert i prosjekter som NEXAF, FENDURA, Tromsøundersøkelsen, Fit Futures mv.
