About Mattias Folkesson
Mattias Folkesson is doctor in Sports science, majoring in physiology/medicine, and a teacher in Physical education, Mathematics and Physics.
Research:
The research is mainly conducted within:
- Adaptations linked to diet and exercise: On a functional, cellular and molecular level
- Physical activity and exercise for prevention of health and treatment of disease
Teaching is mainly conducted within:
The Sport coaching program, Physical education teacher program as well as Courses in Sport science with a focus on training principles and methods.
The teaching is primarily aimed at sports physiology, anatomy and biomechanics, training principles and methods, physiological assessment, and supervision.
Other:
- Coordinator for Örebro University as an elite sports-friendly university (EVL). A national collaboration under the national sports federation (RF) with the aim of promoting the combination of elite sports and studies.
- In addition to his work at Örebro University, Mattias is also a board member of RF-SISU/Örebro and active in endurance sports
