Peter has a Ph.D. in exercise physiology at the department of sports science at Örebro University, Sweden. His research is focused on physiological adaptations to training and physical activity. He teaches exercise physiology, anatomy and theory, and the methodology of training.

Peter has extensive experience in collaboration with external partners including, companies, sports movements, and authorities, concerning optimization of training, diet, and recovery. In his dissertation, he has looked at how exercise, training, and diet affect older women. The results show a clear connection between good exercise habits and high physical ability. This applies regardless of what exercise habits you have had earlier in life, supporting the well-known saying that it is never too late to start exercising. One of his studies did not show any connection between sedentary and functional ability, which indicates that being sedentary is not dangerous, but rather the lack of physical activity.

Peter means that this is the opposite of what is often presented in the media today. Therefore, the focus should be on increasing physical activity, such as brisk walking, rather than reducing the time you sit still.
