Applied Research in Sport and Health Science – Optimization of the Knowledge Translation

The course gives an introduction to applied research in sports and health science. Within health science, there will be a focus on rehabilitation. Interaction between research and the field of practice, as well as optimization of the knowledge translation during the different phases of a research project will be dealt with. The lectures will provide theoretical insights on evidence-based practice and own experiences with such work will be shared. In addition to theoretical lectures, the candidates should take an active part in learning through group exercises, reflections and discussions.

The candidates know various methods for knowledge translation/implementation of research-based knowledge, and are able to conduct research projects in good interaction with the field of practice during the different phases of the research project.

There will be three full days of digital lectures, workshops, group work presentations, reflection and discussions.

Homework assignments related to the candidates own research will be carried out between gatherings and presented at each gathering.
