I am research lead (PI) for the Sport Without Injury Programme (SWIPE, LiU) and senior researcher in the Football Research Group (FRG, LiU) and the Handball Research Group (HRG, Sophiahemmet University College). I have several national and international research collaborations.
My research focuses on promotion of healthy sports. We conduct studies to map the incidence and prevalence of injury and illness in sports, to understand risk factors and aetiological factors for injury and illness occurrence, and study the effects of preventive measures. Our research involves team and individual sports, with athletes across the whole life span from children and youths in community level sports to professional athletes. I have a close collaboration with stakeholders in the sport community in the planning and execution of research, as well as in the implementation and utilization of research findings.
