This course will discuss the mechanisms and latest evidence-based recommendations of physical activity and exercise for a series of conditions and populations.In the second part of each lecture session, published randomized controlled trials of the respective lecture`s topic will be discussed and critically appraised based on established tools.

Evidence-based findings on the training of endurance, strength, and speed, planning and periodization of training, as well as motor learning will be presented and discussed in relation to specific age groups (childhood to older age), and performance levels. The theoretical knowledge will be applied in an annual training plan for an individually chosen sport/performance level.

Research knowledge in Geriatric population focused exercise science evolves rapidly. The aim of this lecture is to provide a source of advanced theoretical and applied science and the implications for exercise interventions specific to the elderly.

The different aspects of the research process are centred on in this lecture-from reading, understanding, planning, execution, documentation right up to the presentation of research. The goal of the course is to instruct the student in scientifically correct execution of their own research projects, and furthermore to stimulate indipendant questioning.
