Health Promotion in Sports
I conduct research within the SWIPE group – Sport Without Injury ProgrammE. We study the prevalence of injuries and illnesses among athletes, risk factors for sports-related health issues, and the effects of preventive measures. Our research spans team and individual sports, across children, adolescents, and adults, from recreational to elite levels. We collaborate closely with the sports community in planning, conducting, and implementing research, as well as in translating findings into practice.I have a particular interest in pain in sports, and I analyze its prevalence, associated risk factors, and the perspectives of athletes and coaches on sports-related pain.
Rehabilitation After Knee Injury
My research focuses on treatment and recovery following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus injuries. I lead projects exploring athletes’ perspectives on experiencing an ACL injury and supporting their return to physical activity and sport. These projects aim to increase understanding of athletes’ and coaches’ experiences, perceptions, and needs for information and support during rehabilitation and return to sport. Our goal is to optimize on-field rehabilitation strategies after ACL injury.I am involved in the NACOX study (Natural course and recovery after anterior cruciate ligament injury), where I investigate physical activity using accelerometry and self-reported questionnaires, as well as clinical outcome measures with a focus on muscle function. We also work with long-term follow-up after ACL-injury.
Development of Education Within the Faculty of Medicine in Relation to Generative AI
I lead research projects aimed at strengthening AI literacy in education within the Faculty of Medicine. Our focus is on understanding knowledge, habits, and attitudes toward generative AI among students, educators, and clinical supervisors in clinical placement, as well as developing educational initiatives that actively promote AI literacy.Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, we examine how generative AI influences learning and teaching. We develop and implement educational interventions to support a critical, reflective, and informed use of AI, and evaluate their impact on the learning environment.
