With its origin dating back to 1960, the FISU World Conference is a core element and the academic highlight of the FISU World University Games. Within a three-day programme, the FISU World Conference creates a platform for interdisciplinary scientific exchange and stimulates research and creativity beyond the scope of academia. In 2025, the FISU World Conference will include outstanding keynotes and panelists and further provide a platform for innovative formats and engaging opportunities which are open to the general public.

This one-day conference is an event that brings together professionals and scholars in the fields of health and fitness to share ideas on the challenges and opportunities we face a quarter way through the 21st century. With new dynamics at play and issues to navigate, those working in health and fitness fields need to work together to share best practices and ideas at the forefront of our community.

Den här avhandlingen handlar om likvärdighet i skolämnet idrott och hälsa. Mer precist är syftet att bidra med ny kunskap om hur likvärdighet i idrott och hälsa kan förstås, mätas och har förändrats under åren 2000–2017. I välfärdsstater runt om i världen, såväl som i Sverige, är likvärdighet ett centralt mål – men vad betyder och innebär egentligen likvärdighet? Vad är det som ska vara likvärdigt och när är skolan (tillräckligt) likvärdig? Hur kan man mäta likvärdighet och hur har likvärdigheten förändrats över tid – har den försämrats, förbättrats eller bestått oförändrad?

Målet med doktorgradsprosjektet er å avdekke ulike psykososiale risiko- og beskyttelsesfaktorer egnet til å påvirke unge utøveres usunne helsevalg innen idrett. Eksempler på slike er bruk av smertestillende preparater, kosttilskudd, doping og fortsatt deltakelse i trening og konkurranse til tross for skade. Prosjektet er forankret i en sosial-kognitiv teoriramme der vi utforsket en rekke beskyttende og risikofremmende personlige og kontekstuelle faktorer forbundet med usunne helsevalg.
