Kalle Torvaldsson

PhD student

I am a PhD student researching the prevalence, risk factors and consequences of injury and illness among elite athletes. I also work as a teacher at the Physiotherapy programme and clinically as a psysiotherapist within sports.

Presentation

In my research, I study the injury and illness profile of Olympic athletes in a project in collaboration with the Swedish Olympic Committee. This includes studying the prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of injury and illness.

I also work as a teacher at the physiotherapy program, primarily in the first semester.
