A biomechanical and physiological comparison of the double poling and diagonal stride technique in cross-country skiing : under different combinations of inclines and intensities
(Master thesis, 2016)Background: High efficiency is an obvious determining factor for skiing performance. Hence, it is likely that efficiency in the double poling (DP) and diagonal stride (DIA) technique may be affected by incline since the ... -
A characterization of the somatostatin expressing cell population in the lateral entorhinal cortex of the mouse
(Master thesis, 2016)The lateral entorhinal cortex is a part of the parahippocampal region, and has received attention for being involved in object and object characterization task, hence conveying nonspatial input to the hippocampal formation. ... -
A controlled intervention study assessing the relation between hip abductor strength and knee valgus
(Master thesis, 2015)Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common and severe lower limb injury. Knee abduction moment has been associated with risk of non-contact ACL injury, and knee valgus angle has been reported as part ... -
A high-density EEG study on cortical activity in response to visual motion perception: Longitudinal comparison of preterm and full-term infants
(Master thesis, 2012)Electroencephalogram (EEG) was used to investigate brain electrical activity of full-term and preterm infants at 5 and 12 months of age as a functional response mechanism to structured forwards optic flow, structured ... -
A longitudinal study of amyloid beta 1-43 levels in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's disease
(Master thesis, 2015)Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative dis- ease and its prevalence is rising globally. Evidence suggests that the pathological lesion of AD in the brain starts 10-15 years before the onset of ... -
A longitudinal study of fractional anisotropy in white matter of preterm born very low birth weight adolescents and young adults compared to term born controls
(Master thesis, 2013)Preterm born children with very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight < 1500 g)are at increased risk of perinatal brain damage. Perinatal factors, such as low birthweight and morbidity leading to intensive care treatment ... -
A pilot case-control study on handball players’ lower limb asymmetries- Is the direction of asymmetry associated with lower limb injuries?
(Master thesis, 2024)Introduction: Inter-limb asymmetry refers to differences in performance or function between limbs, and 10-15% or more of it has been linked to a higher incidence of sports injuries. There is limited literature regarding ... -
A pilot study to explore the composition of complex physical activity in adolescents
(Master thesis, 2018)Background: Data models have been developed to recognize common physical activity types (e.g., walking, standing, sitting) based on accelerometer. However, few data models have been developed to investigate whether complex ... -
A pilot study: investigating the physical activity pattern in children with cerebral palsy and typically developed children
(Master thesis, 2017)Background: There’s a concern that children today are too inactive, and technology makes it possible for children to reach out to their friends from the sofa, instead of standing up and walking out to meet them. Children ... -
A Reappraisal of Ventilatory Thresholds in Cycling – What is the Evidence?
(Master thesis, 2023)ABSTRACT Background: Intensity zones are commonly used to individualize training programs. These zones are often based on ventilatory thresholds (VTs) retrieved from graded exercise testing (GXT) protocols. The VT1 ... -
Acute Effect of Exercise on Breast Milk Adiponectin Concentration: A Randomized Crossover Trial
(Master thesis, 2022)Bakgrunn: Konsentrasjonen av adiponektin i morsmelk, et hormon assosiert med økt metabolisme, kan påvirke spedbarns vektøkning. Trening kan påvirke adiponektinkonsentrasjonen i sirkulasjonssystemet, men det finnes ingen ... -
Acute effects of a work-related rehabilitation program on cardiovascular fitness, pain, and sleep
(Master thesis, 2014)Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the short-term effects of a work-related rehabilitation program on cardiovascular fitness, musculoskeletal symptoms, and cardiac autonomic regulation during sleep, by comparing a ... -
Acute physiological responses to external versus internal intensity control during a standard "threshold" training session in well trained endurance athletes
(Master thesis, 2023)Bakgrunn: Utholdenhetsutøvere bruker en rekke ulike strategier for å kontrollere overordnet og akutt treningsintensitet. To ofte brukte metoder for akutt intensitetskontroll i en økt er i) ekstern (fart) og ii) intern ... -
Age- and gender-specific reference data of objectively assessed body composition measures from the HUNT4 study
(Master thesis, 2023)Background The human body composition parameters have been associated with morbidity and all-cause mortality. Therefore, several measures to assess body composition have been investigated and reference values for them were ... -
Age-related differences in muscle microvascular response and muscle oxygen uptake: a near infrared spectroscopy approach
(Master thesis, 2021)Bakgrunn: Blodstrømmen til arm og ben har vist seg å være betydelig redusert hos eldre sammenlignet med yngre. Kunnskap om effekten av alder på den mikrovaskulære funksjonen er fortsatt begrenset. Nær infrarød spektroskopi ... -
Age-related differences in skeletal muscle oxidative function during whole-body exercise and isolated muscle work
(Master thesis, 2020)Introduksjon: Aldring er assosiert med en redusert funksjon a flere systemer i kroppen, hvor omfanget av funksjonstapet karakteriserer ‘sunn eller patologisk aldring’. Skjelettmuskulaturens oksidative kapasitet har blitt ... -
Age-related hearing decline in 60-70-year-old adults and its effect on postural control.
(Master thesis, 2023)Background: The auditory system has been considered to have a contribution to postural control together with visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems. Degradation of hearing acuity is prevalent in older populations, ... -
Alcohol and epileptic seizures
(Master thesis, 2017)Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between alcohol use and seizures in acutely hospitalized patients, both isolated seizures as well as in diagnosed epilepsy. We wished to study the extent ... -
Alterations in post-movement beta event related synchronization in relation to migraine attacks : a controlled, longitudinal study
