Focal accumulation of immune cells and lipids in the vascular wall leads to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Plaques occasionally erode or rupture, causing the blood to clot and restrict blood flow, with serious clinical consequences such as acute myocardial infarctions and strokes. Even though our understanding of the disease mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis has advanced substantial

Forskningens Dag – Om fysisk aktivitet & hälsa (event in Swedish) Centre of Physical Activity Research at Lund University Previous Next Play Pause CoPARLU is a multidisciplinary center gathering all researchers with expertise in physical activity at Lund University. Our research ranges from molecular experiments and clinical trials to investigations of psychological, gender, and sustainability asp

Our research Our research interest is to understand how genetic variation influences skeletal muscle function and whole-body metabolism. We use translational approaches and regularly conduct focused intervention studies in humans, including skeletal muscle biopsies. From the biopsies, muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are isolated and later used for preclinical measurements. In our projects, we

Sport Sciences Our research Our research focuses on preventing and managing musculoskeletal injuries and disease from youth to an older age. The target groups are athletes and non-athletic populations that either have or are at high risk of joint injury/disease, e.g., to the hip or knee. The goal is to enhance lifelong participation in sport and physical activity. Together with our closest researc

Eva Ekvall Hansson Our research Our research on physical activity is broad and explores the impact of health outcomes on different populations. There are currently several research projects where we study several aspects of physical activity. We describe physical activity levels among older adults and investigate the effect of mHealth (mobile health) interventions and other interventions to promot

Åsa Tornberg Our research People with cerebral palsy (CP) are less physically active than people without disabilities. They are at risk for cardiometabolic and other diseases related to physical inactivity. In addition, the accessibility to physical activities is limited. Therefore, our research addresses people with CP over the lifespan. We are interested in active participation in physical activ

Johan Mårtensson Our research Our research focuses on brain plasticity, education, and cognition. Physical exercise is often the elephant in the room when it comes to these processes. Our main method is Magnetic Resonance Imaging in conjunction with multiple measures of cognition and training outcomes. Aims To explore if exercise in conjunction with cognitive training yields better learning outcom

Charlotte Ling Our research The epigenome consists of chemical modifications attached to our DNA, which can be altered due to environmental factors, e.g., exercise, and thereby provides dynamic gene regulation and gives each cell or tissue its unique identity and functions. We investigate epigenomic and transcriptomic changes in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue and their association with obesity

Jan Lexell Our research Physical activity and exercise are the mainstays of chronic disease prevention and health maintenance for all people with and without a disability. Participation in organized sports, competitive as well as non-competitive, is one way for people with a disability to engage in regular physical activity and exercise and at the same time enjoy the social aspects of meeting with

Johan Andersson Our research We focus on integrative physiology during environmental stress, including exercise, altitude exposure, and cold temperatures. We are interested in understanding human performance in extreme environments. A particular emphasis has been put on the cardiovascular and respiratory physiology associated with apnea and breath-hold diving, to better understand how the human bo

Björn Rosengren Our research The focus is to examine the effects of physical activity on fracture and fall risks. In addition, we also study its impact on specific bone and muscle traits and the link to inflammation. Inactivity or sedentary behavior is a separate entity that seems to be important for many diseases. Therefore, it is also included in the research program in terms of early risk facto

Daniel Lindqvist Our research The overreaching hypothesis that frames our work is that depressive disorders are accompanied by, if not caused by, identifiable biological abnormalities that contribute to both the psychological and somatic aspects of these illnesses. This is a comprehensive hypothesis involving the study of several biomarkers, including (but not limited to) cellular stress, inflamma

Carys Egan-Wyer Our research My research critically explores how people consume endurance experiences—such as triathlon, obstacle adventure racing, and ultra-distance running—and what those consumption patterns can tell us about contemporary society. The findings question the idea that endurance experiences are an escape from the demands of everyday life. Instead, it shows that social (especially

Tomas Deierborg Our research Physical activity is linked with a reduced risk of somatic disorders. Interestingly, exercise also affects the inflammatory status in the body. We study how physical activity affects the molecular processes involved in different brain disorders. Our exercise research ranges from experimental animal studies to epidemiological studies on the Swedish population. By modeli
