Tutkimustoiminnan kuvaus

I'm working as a researcher at Likes, Jamk University of Applied Sciences, Jyväskylä, Finland in a team which is led by Principal Researcher Tuija Tammelin. My research interests include physical activity, social competence and well-being among children and adolescents. Currently I'm conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis about School-based physical activity interventions and social competence as a part of the multidisciplinary consortium Future School of Comprehensive Well-being (SchoolWell) which is funded by the Strategic Research Council (SRC).
