SammanfattningSjälvförsvarsträning i form av Krav Maga anges av många elever ha en stor inverkan på deras liv, genom att öka deras självförtroende, välmående, stresshantering, social nätverk osv. Detta är inget som tidigare har visats vetenskapligt för Krav Maga och vi ville därför mäta 3 olika faktorer, fysisk prestation, mental tuffhet och självskattat hälsotillstånd.Detta genomfördes genom att vi rekryterade en grupp testpersoner vid terminsstart.

What causes people to move within and between certain places and not within and between others? How do physical outdoor environments affect the way people act and move? Do different environments generate different body language and mimics in the bodies that inhabit them?
