Humans in motion in focus on day searching

Living a physically active lifestyle can be associated with a number of different health benefits and affect our health in a positive direction. Why this happens, and what it means in practice, is the topic of Research Day on November 7 and 8.

We welcome all interested people

This event targets anyone interested in research on human movement. Eva Ekvall Hansson, professor at Lund University and physiotherapist at Scania University Hospital, is one of the scientific organisers. She says the program will focus on things other than the obvious, like that it’s okay to exercise.

Instead, audiences will learn more about things that may not be obvious: Can you train your lungs? How do you exercise if you can’t walk? And what’s the best exercise if you’re a little bigger?

Extensive programme

Eva Ekvall Hansson herself will conduct the program segment “Balanced exercises for seniors”, where the audience can get active.

Other program highlights include Daniel Lindqvist, Associate Professor at Lund University and Senior Clinician in Psychiatry, Rehabilitation and AIDS, who will speak about orthosis and compulsive training, and Emily Stroh, Researcher at Lund University and Occupational and Environmental Health Specialist at the Medical Service. Who will give a lecture on outdoor play environments for pre-school children.
