Jan-Michael Johansen

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Faculty of Humanities, Sports and Educational Science
Department of Sports, Physical Education and Outdoor Studies
Campus Bø (1-221)
Jan-Michael Johansen finished his PhD in exercise physiology in spring 2021, and are currently working as a post doctoral research fellow on a new research project. The study investigate the use of physical activity in learning processes in primary school, and the effect on physical activity and learning climate. His PhD-work investigated the effect of training, gender, age and genes on performance development in cross-country skiing. At the time, Jan Michael is also involved in several research projects on sports performance and effects of physical activity.
