    Do you have biographical information on Martti Karvonen of Finland, a fitness expert?

    Question #62339. Asked by macmjm. (Feb 07 06 9:53 AM)


    Ludax

    Karvonen is a physiologist of the classical school of applied physiology - an expert in work, exercise, and sports physiology - and an internationally renown physician.

    A devoted Seven Countries Study collaborator, he was an independent investigator who organized Finnish population studies as early as 1956. He later recruited the Seven Countries cohorts in Eastern and Western Finland to compare the separate cultures within that country.

    In the course of a long and active career, he initiated innumerable physiological studies and well-crafted epidemiological studies, clinical trials, and community research projects.
