Magne Lund-Hansen

Magne Lund-Hansen is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physical Performance at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH), where he teaches practical and theoretical subjects for bachelor students with a focus on endurance training. His academic background includes a bachelor's degree in coaching and a master's degree in physical performance, both from NIH.

His research interests span multiple areas of sports science, with particular emphasis on exercise physiology, cross-country skiing biomechanics, orienteering, and work physiology. Lund-Hansen combines his academic expertise with practical experience as a former orienteer, cross-country skier, and coach at various levels.

His publication record shows a strong focus on endurance sports physiology, particularly roller skiing and cross-country skiing biomechanics. His recent work examines oxygen consumption patterns, pacing strategies, equipment effects on performance, and the application of sensor technology in sports performance analysis. This research demonstrates a consistent pattern of investigating the physiological and biomechanical determinants of performance in endurance winter sports.

Lund-Hansen's work frequently appears in high-impact journals including European Journal of Applied Physiology, International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, Scientific Reports, and Sensors, indicating recognition within both the sports science and broader scientific communities.

His teaching responsibilities include practical and theoretical subjects for bachelor students with a focus on endurance training, drawing on his extensive personal experience as an athlete and coach in orienteering and cross-country skiing.
