In May of 2004, a class of 15 students went to Stockholm, Sweden for a graduate level class, Kinesiology 5721. The students spent the first week at the Karolinska Institute taking a class titled, Exercise in the Management and Prevention of Metabolic Disease. The students mingled daily with Swedish students from Karolinska and the Stockholm University College of Physical Education and Sports. The students also shared abstracts of their own research and spent one afternoon reviewing each other’s work.
At the end of the first week the students boarded the Silja Line and sailed overnight to Helsinki, Finland. After a day of exploring and sightseeing, they boarded the ship once again to return to Stockholm. During the second week in Stockholm, the students were allowed free time to experience the city. Students went to the Changing of the Guard at the Palace, Nobel Prize Museum, a Swedish National soccer game, the city hall, kayaking, and the 1912 Olympic Stadium, to name just a few of the many activities. Additionally, the students visited the University College of Physical Education and Sports and the research laboratories of Per Olaf Åstrand, the “Father of Work Physiology.” Students had the option of deviating from the return flight home, so many of the students had additional experiences in other countries, including Norway, Denmark, and Iceland, before returning to Minneapolis. |
