معرفی
Eva-Carin Lindgren is a Professor of Sports Science specializing in health promotion at Halmstad University's School of Health and Welfare. She leads research in two primary domains: physical activity interventions (including empowerment-based approaches and Orthorexia Nervosa studies) and sustainable sports systems (focusing on athlete well-being, youth coaching, and immigrant women's leadership). Her work consistently integrates gender and intersectionality frameworks.
Her research interests span:
- Empowerment-based physical activity interventions across populations
- Orthorexia Nervosa's relationship with exercise behaviors
- Sustainable development in elite/youth sports ecosystems
- Athlete health and well-being optimization
- Immigrant women's leadership in sports organizations
- Intersectional analysis of sports participation
Lindgren's recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate strong thematic clustering: 40% focus on pandemic impacts in sports education, 30% examine empowerment interventions for vulnerable populations (older adults, migrants, LGBTQ+ individuals), 20% address pelvic health and chronic conditions, and 10% develop diagnostic frameworks for Orthorexia Nervosa. Methodologically, 85% employ qualitative designs with emphasis on lived experiences.
She supervises doctoral candidates within Health and Lifestyle doctoral education and serves on the Swedish Research Council for Sport Science. Her leadership extends to coordinating research circles that develop child-centered coaching approaches in physical education.
