Personal profile
Research profile
Has a special interest in movement and sports pedagogy, and how physical activity can be implemented, for example, in the school context or in connection with sedentary activities such as gaming/esports.
Additionally, I have an interest in alternative forms of sports activities beyond those practiced through associations. Examples of alternative movement forms include lifestyle sports such as parkour, street basketball, and skateboarding.
Finally, I am also interested in educational and instructional development and have researched various didactic/pedagogical models that can contribute to enhancing students' and learners' motivation for learning and their engagement with teaching.
