About Fawzi Kadi

Fawzi Kadi is Professor of Sports Physiology at Örebro University. His research focuses on (1) the development of prevention models in primary care settings aiming to mitigate the onset of chronic diseases and promotion of healthy aging through lifestyle changes with a particular focus on physical activity and eating habits, and (2) mechanisms of action in the development of chronic diseases, metabolic disturbances, and low-grade systemic inflammation as well as links to increased fat mass and sarcopenia. With respect to education at basic and advanced levels he has developed 1) Sweden's first master program in sport physiology and medicine , 2) a bachelor program in sports sciences and 3) the "Neurology and orthopedics theme" within the medical education program at Örebro University.
