Elin Ekblom Bak (born 5 June 1981) is a Swedish football midfielder, currently playing for Elitettan club Älta IF. She previously played for teams including Tyresö FF in Sweden's Damallsvenskan.[2] [3]
She also works as a scientist, publishing research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine which posited that sedentary behaviour such as sitting at a desk is harmful even for people who exercise regularly.[4]
Ekblom Bak made her senior Sweden debut on 1 February 2004, in a 3–1 win over Canada.[5]
She signed a professional contract with Espanyol in Spain, but rules prevented her from playing League matches, only in Cup and non competitive games. Ekblom Bak engaged sports lawyer Jean-Louis Dupont to make a legal challenge on her behalf and the rules eventually changed, but disgruntled Ekblom Bak had already decided to leave.[6]
