Sports Science

Lifestyle, living environment and health

Regular physical activity has significant impact on individual health - this is well known! Early positive experiences of physical activity and sport are important for the inclination to be physically active in later life. Children and young people´s exercise habits not only affect their health in the present, but also their future health and well-being.

Sports and health is a broad, interdisciplinary field that focuses on links between lifestyle, living environment and health among other factors.
