The effect of endurance training on body composition and blood lipids in older adults : a randomized controlled trial
(Master thesis, 2016)Background: Ageing is associated with changes in body composition and blood lipids. Reduced muscle mass and increased body fat are inevitable consequence of the ageing process. In addition, total cholesterol is known to ... -
The effect of endurance training on lower extremity strength in older persons
(Master thesis, 2016)Background and aim: The world’s population in general lives longer and are healthier than earlier. Still, there are many neuromuscular changes that occur with increasing age. Age – related decline in muscle mass, muscle ... -
The effect of exercise intensity on joint power and dynamics in ergometer double-poling performed by cross-country skiers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of increasing exercise intensity on the role of joint powers in ergometer double poling (DP), while taking specific dynamic constraints into account. One main question ... -
The effect of exercise intensity on speed and heart rate profiles, work rate and kinematics in skating cross-country skiing
(Master thesis, 2016)The exercise intensity during cross-country skiing competitions fluctuates. However, it is presently not known to what extent this occurs during ski-specific training at the different intensities. The aim of the present ... -
The effect of exhaustive exercise on the choice of technique and physiological response in classical roller skiing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exhaustive exercise on technique preference and the accompanying physiological response during classic skiing at constant workload, but with varying incline–speed ... -
The effect of fatigue on technique transitions in classical roller skiing
(Master thesis, 2015)Introduction: Classical cross-country skiing consists of three main sub-techniques; double poling (DP), double poling with kick (DK) and diagonal stride (DIA). The skiers’ transition between these like a "gear system", ... -
The effect of five years aerobic exercise training on objectively measured physical activity in older adults
(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Background There is a lot of research highlighting the importance of physical activity. However, how to increase or maintain physical activity as people age is an unanswered question. High intensity exercise had ... -
The Effect of Group-Based versus Individually Performed Exercise on Ventilatory Efficiency in Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Master thesis, 2023)Hensikt: Undersøke effekten av 12 ukers hjemme-basert likemanns-trening i gruppe sammenliknet med individuell trening på ventilatorisk effektivitet, målt ved ventilatorisk ekvivalent for karbondioksid (EqV̇CO2VThan), hos ... -
The effect of high- and moderate intensity training on fast, preferred and dual task gait speed in elderly community dwelling adults : a three-armed randomized controlled trial
(Master thesis, 2017)Background: Gait speed, both preferred and fast, are decreasing with age. Reduced gait speed is associated with disability, mortality and falls. Interventions has shown to improve gait speed, but current research does not ... -
The effect of hormone replacement therapy containing estrogen on muscle strength and muscle mass in postmenopausal women
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Bakgrunn: Halvparten av verdens befolkning er kvinner, som sannsynligvis vil oppleve overgangsalderen i deres livsløp. I overgangsalderen synker østrogennivået, dette kan ha en negativ påvirkning på skjelettmuskelstyrke ... -
The effect of intensity and stroke rate on timing and coordination during ergometer rowing
(Master thesis, 2020)Formål: Hensikten med denne studien er å undersøke den individuelle og kombinerte effekten av intensitet og ro-takt på mekaniske og elektromyografiske (EMG) utfallsvariabler (dvs. amplitude og tidshendelser) og tidsprofiler ... -
The Effect of Intensity on Joint-Specific Power and Mechanical Energy during Double Poling in Elite Cross-Country Skiers
(Master thesis, 2014)Purpose: The present study examined the absolute behavior and the relative contributions to poling power of 1) joint-specific powers and 2) total body power (Pbody, i.e. the rate of change in total body mechanical ... -
The effect of low temperatures on muscle function while wearing protective clothing used in the mining industry
(Master thesis, 2014)The purpose of this study was to investigate how muscle function is affected by cold environments in persons wearing cold protective clothing for the mining industry when performing work-related tasks. 15 subjects were ... -
The Effect of Maximal Speed Ability, Pacing Strategy, and Technique on the Finish Sprint of a Sprint Cross-Country Skiing Competition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose: The aims of this study were to investigate the contribution from maximal speed (Vmax) and %Vmax to the finish-sprint speed obtained in a cross-country (XC) sprint in the classical and skating style, as well as ... -
The effect of maximal vs. submaximal contractions on crossover fatigue between limbs
(Master thesis, 2017)Background: When targeting increased muscle strength, resistance training is revered as the ideal method of achieving this goal. Emerging amounts of evidence indicates that to increase muscular strength, exerting the muscle ... -
The Effect of Medical Exercise Therapy on Pressure Sensitivity in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Cohort Pilot Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction While continued research into pain and exercise may address the underlying mechanisms, the mechanisms through which exercise may act are still poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the ... -
The Effect of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Blood Glucose and Respiratory Exchange Ratio during High- vs. Low-Intensity Exercise
(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Background Previous studies have demonstrated conflicting results regarding substrate metabolism across the menstrual cycle (MC). While some studies suggest that substrate metabolism may vary across MC phases ... -
The Effect of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Post-Exercise Blood Recovery Variables in Physically Active Women
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Bakgrunn: Menstruasjonssyklusen (MC) er en stor del av den kvinnelige kroppen. Det er usikkert om MC kan påvirke idrettsrelaterte faktorer som trening, restitusjon og prestasjon. En indirekte markør for muskelskade er ... -
