Arm crank and wheelchair ergometry produce similar peak oxygen uptake but different work economy values in individuals with spinal cord injury
Tørhaug, Tom; Brurok, Berit; Hoff, Jan; Helgerud, Jan; Leivseth, Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Objective. To study whether values for peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and work economy (WE) at a standardized workload are different when tested by arm crank ergometry (ACE) and wheelchair ergometry (WCE). Methods. Twelve ... -

Tørhaug, Tom; Brurok, Berit; Hoff, Jan; Helgerud, Jan; Leivseth, Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Effect of lower extremity functional electrical stimulation pulsed isometric contractions on arm cycling peak oxygen uptake in spinal cord injured individuals
Brurok, Berit; Tørhaug, Tom; Karlsen, Trine; Leivseth, Gunnar; Helgerud, Jan; Hoff, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Objective: To compare peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) between: (i) functional electrical stimulation lower extremity pulsed isometric muscle contractions combined with arm cycling (FES iso hybrid), (ii) functional electrical ... -
Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training After Stroke (the HIIT-Stroke Study): A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Gjellesvik, Tor Ivar; Becker, Frank; Tjønna, Arnt Erik; Indredavik, Bent; Nilsen, Halvard Knut; Brurok, Berit; Tørhaug, Tom; Busuladzic, Maja; Lydersen, Stian; Askim, Torunn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective: To examine if 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in addition to standard care would increase and maintain peak oxygen uptake (Vo2peak) more than standard care alone in patients with stroke. Design: ... -
Exercise testing and training after spinal cord injury; Strengthen the endurance from arm crank and wheelchair ergometry, lower extremity passive and electro- stimulated movements and upper body bench press exercise.
Tørhaug, Tom (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:43, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Avhandlingen beskriver test og treningsresponser hos en gruppe ryggmargsskadde. Testing har foregått i samarbeid med erfarne treningsfysiologer på validert medisin-tekniskutstyr med støtte fra svært gode laboratoriefasiliteter ... -
Oxygen uptake during functional activities after stroke - Reliability and validity of a portable ergospirometry system
Gjellesvik, Tor Ivar; Brurok, Berit; Tjønna, Arnt Erik; Tørhaug, Tom; Askim, Torunn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background People with stroke have a low peak aerobic capacity and experience increased effort during performance of daily activities. The purpose of this study was to examine test-retest reliability of a portable ...
