Sport Science

Physical activity is very important in maintaining optimal public health, and sports and body culture have important societal implications.

What we do

We explore exercise and training interventions in human and animal models, and we explore sports and body culture from historical, pedagogical, philosophical, psycological and sociological points of view.

Who we are

The research area Sport Science consists of two research units: Exercise Biology and Sport & Body Culture. Within these units, researchers specialise in different fields and collaborate with other researchers in pursuit of new knowledge. One of these collaborations is the International Network of Doping Research.
