Hans Rosdahl

My general research interests are located in the fields of physiology, biomechanics and sport science. Specials interests are sited into performance development of elite athletes and the role of physically active commuting in the general population for sustainable health and environment.

Additionally, I have a pronounced interest in sports technology and method development, thus I work with both developing, validating and applying new methods to gain further knowledge in the general research fields above.

Current projects

1. Performance optimization in sprint kayaking and para canoeing with new technology for technique and race analysis and training monitoring.
2. Concurrent strength and endurance training in well-trained team sport athletes.
3. Validity and reliability for measurements of oxygen uptake and related variables with the Vyntus CPX Metabolic Cart.
4. Physically Active Commuting in Greater Stockholm (PACS).
