Sofie Koch is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern Denmark's Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics within the Faculty of Health Sciences. She maintains active research affiliations with multiple units including the Research Unit of Active Living, Research Unit of Sport and Health Sciences, and FIIBL - Research and Implementation Centre for Human Movement and Learning. Her research focuses on physical activity interventions in Danish school settings, with particular emphasis on implementation science, childhood obesity prevention, and policy evaluation. Key interests include digital screen impacts on adolescent activity, high-intensity exercise programs for schoolchildren, and frontline worker behavior in health program adoption. Her work employs mixed-methods approaches including cluster RCTs, focus groups, and cross-sectional population studies. Recent publications demonstrate strong trends in school-based physical activity implementation across Denmark, with significant emphasis on dose-response relationships in exercise interventions and barriers to program adoption in public education systems. Her research consistently targets Danish adolescent populations with practical applications for national health policy. Professional activities include conference presentations on physical activity implementation barriers (2019), drowning prevention research (2017), and co-organizing the Nordic seminar on School Swimming (2016). Her work shows substantial engagement with Danish public health initiatives through the Generation Healthy Kids study. Research metrics indicate growing impact with multiple publications generating Mendeley readership (6-21 readers) and early citations, particularly in the Journal of Sports Sciences and Frontiers in Sports and Active Living. Her ORCID profile (0000-0002-9404-5001) documents 31 research outputs including 14 journal articles, 7 conference abstracts, and a PhD thesis.
