00:00.480 --> 00:02.799
— When do I feel at my very best?

00:02.800 --> 00:07.616
Professionally, I always feel good
when I get an article published.

00:07.640 --> 00:11.520
In my personal life, I feel best when
I get to be with my children and—

00:11.640 --> 00:13.919
—engage in different physical activities.

00:13.920 --> 00:18.780
My name is Cecilia Fridén
and I am a professor of physiotherapy.

00:19.400 --> 00:23.276
The area I am passionate about
is women’s health—

00:23.300 --> 00:27.040
—physical activity, and equality.

00:27.280 --> 00:29.836
The decision that ultimately led me
to begin research was probably—

00:29.860 --> 00:32.860
—was that my interest
was sparked so strongly—

00:32.880 --> 00:36.236
—when I studied at GIH
to become a physical education teacher.

00:36.260 --> 00:39.476
That's when I realized that
I needed to continue studying—

00:39.500 --> 00:42.016
—to be able to
enter doctoral studies.

00:42.040 --> 00:44.999
That's why I chose
to become a physiotherapist.

00:45.000 --> 00:48.600
Within my research field,
I have mainly focused on—

00:48.720 --> 00:50.796
—equality in sports.

00:50.820 --> 00:54.212
But I think that
it reflects society as a whole.

00:54.360 --> 00:57.999
My future dreams are
to lead a large group—

00:58.000 --> 01:02.076
—that researches together
within my area of interest.

01:02.100 --> 01:05.396
I would like to bring
together different professions.

01:05.420 --> 01:09.596
Those who understand
women’s physiology—

01:09.620 --> 01:11.976
—such as gynecologists
and muscle physiologists.

01:12.000 --> 01:15.076
But I also want to collaborate with—

01:15.100 --> 01:18.676
—those who work with
technology or education.

01:18.700 --> 01:22.956
So that we can truly
reach those it concerns.

01:22.980 --> 01:27.876
That is, girls in school
and women throughout life.

01:27.900 --> 01:30.636
Oh, a bucket list sport.

01:30.660 --> 01:34.596
I have been involved in
athletics all my life.

01:34.620 --> 01:36.896
It would be fun
to be able to play football.

01:36.920 --> 01:40.560
I still think it looks very fun.
