Eivind Aadland

Arbeids- og kompetanseområde

Eg har vore tilsett ved Høgskulen på Vestlandet, tidlegare Høgskulen i Sogn og Fjordane sidan 2008, sidan 2018 som professor i Idrettsvitskap ved Fakultet for lærarutdanning, kultur og idrett, Institutt for idrett, kosthold og naturfag. Eg leiar forskingsgruppa for Fysisk aktivitet og folkehelse ved fakultetet. Eg arbeider fyrst og fremst med forsking og undervising knytt til fysisk aktivitet og helse, men også knytt til friluftsliv og havpadling spesielt. Mine fremste forskingsinteresser er fysisk aktivitet, fysisk form og folkehelse, fysisk aktivitet hjå barn og unge, fysisk aktivitet i barnehage og skule, måling av fysisk aktivitet og fysisk form, akselerometer, samt risikovurdering og risikohandtering i friluftsliv og havpadling, undervising, leiing og læring i havpadling. Eg leiar to store forsking- og utviklingsprosjekt i barnehagen, Active Learning Norwegian Preschool(er)s (ACTNOW) og Move-play-explore in early childhood education (MoveEarly).
