About
Peter Edholm serves as a University Lecturer at Örebro University's School of Health Sciences within the Department of Sports Science. Holding both a medical degree (Med.Dr) and a PhD in exercise physiology, he maintains an active research profile with publications extending through 2025.
His research interests focus on physiological adaptations to training and physical activity, with particular emphasis on aging populations. Key areas include muscle physiology in elderly subjects, recovery strategies for athletes, diet-exercise interactions, and functional capacity assessment in older adults. His work demonstrates consistent specialization in geriatric sports science since 2013, with increasing focus on clinical trials related to physical activity guidelines.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trajectory in examining how physical activity at middle age impacts later-life health outcomes, with significant contributions to understanding recovery methods in sports and the synergistic effects of diet and exercise in elderly populations. His research methodology frequently employs randomized controlled trials and longitudinal assessments.
Edholm actively collaborates with external partners including companies, sports organizations, and government authorities regarding optimization of training, nutrition, and recovery protocols. His current research projects include 'Recovery in sports' and studies on exercise therapy for specific conditions like facioscapulohumeral dystrophy.
Teaching responsibilities primarily cover sports physiology, anatomy, and exercise science methodology. His practical experience bridges academic research with real-world applications in athletic performance and healthy aging initiatives.
