Course description
This doctoral course comprises 3 credits, which corresponds to two weeks full-time studies. The course runs over four weeks. The primary objective of the course is to promote high quality research in clinical and epidemiological studies through understanding of principles for measuring physical activity and methods for analyzing physical activity data.
The course is a mix of distance learning with online interactive lectures, demonstrations, workshops, quiz and seminars to promote a reflective, analytical and critical approach towards this research field. Students will be encouraged to be interactive in workshops and seminars. There will be hands-on experience with students wearing accelerometer throughout a week and opportunities for exploring, processing and analysis this data.
For the interactive lectures, demonstrations, workshop and examination Zoom will be used. See schedule for more details.
