Movement, Health and Environment
The unit explores the multi-disciplinary field of human movement, health and environment.
A topic in focus is the question of how physical activity and health within the population can be obtained under conditions that comply with sustainable development.
In elaborating these matters, conditions from different fields such as exercise physiology, medicine, ecology and economy must be considered. How different environmental factors stimulate or hinder physical activity is another example of aspects of interest within this field.
The main research project within the unit deals with Physically Active Commuting in Greater Stockholm (PACS), see www.gih.se/pacs
The unit is also involved in developing and teaching courses in this field for students at GIH.
