On the effect of changing handgrip position on joint specific power and cycling kinematics in recreational and professional cyclists
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction In cycling, the utilization of the drops position (i.e. the lowest handlebar position relative to the ground) allows for reduced frontal area, likely improved aerodynamics and thus performance compared to the ... -
Player load in male elite soccer: Comparisons of patterns between matches and positions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Our primary aim was to explore the development of player load throughout match time (i.e., the pattern) using moving 5-min windows in an elite soccer team and our secondary aim was to compare player load patterns between ... -
Predictors of students’ participation in a learning environment survey with annual follow-ups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Longitudinal research is one effective way to gauge changes in a student cohort over time, however attrition in these studies is typically high, which can result in study bias. This study explored learning ... -

Rigid head-neck responses to unpredictable perturbations in patients with long standing neck pain does not change with treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In a previous study we have shown that patients with long standing non-specific neck-pain display more rigid neck movement behavior than controls in response to unpredictable perturbations. In the present study we investigated ... -
The role of external power demand on the choice of technique in classic cross-country skiing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In cross-country skiing, athletes use different techniques akin to locomotor gaits such as walking and running. Transitions between these techniques generally depend on speed and incline, in a similar way as walk-run ... -
The role of incline, speed and work rate on the choice of technique in classical roller skiing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Cross-country skiers use different sub-techniques like ‘gears’ (diagonals stride, double poling with kick, and double poling) depending on terrain (incline) and demand (speed and external work rate). Previous studies have ... -
