About

Maria Ekblom is a Senior Lecturer at The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences in Sweden. Her research focuses on the relationship between physical activity, sleep health, and cognitive performance, with recent articles exploring topics such as the impact of physical activity breaks on working memory and the effects of systemic inflammation on brain aging. She also investigates insulin resistance, muscle health, and innovative interventions for improving movement behaviors and mental health in various populations.
