dc.description.abstract | The overall aim of this study is to create an understanding of how a heterogeneous sample of 18 men of different ages, education and ethnic backgrounds, living in or close to a rural town in Hedmark County in Norway, construct and express meanings related to health, body and physical activity. The data was compiled through individual in-depth interviews and analysed through a process informed by grounded theory. The aim of the study has been operationalized into four objectives: to understand how the participating men: 1) construct and express meanings related to health, 2) understand and express responsibility for health, 3) construct and express meanings related to their bodies, 4) construct and express meanings and values related to physical activity. The four papers that constitute this dissertation each answer to its respective objective. | nb_NO |
