I am an exercise physiologist and Associate Professor at the Department of Outdoor Studies, Sport, and Physical Education, Campus Bø. I both teach and conduct research on topics related to physical training, training adaptations, and the effects of exercise, from both a health and performance perspective. My doctoral work focused, among other things, on the effects of exercise in individuals with type 2 diabetes, and in recent years, I have been extensively involved in studies examining performance-determining factors in running, cross-country skiing, and cycling.
