(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Bakgrunn: Barn med Downs syndrom viser en forsinkelse i utviklingen av postural kontroll og frivillige komponenter av motorisk kontroll, sammenlignet med jevnaldrende. Forsinkelsen gjelder startposisjoner mot tyngdekraften, ... -
Investigating the frequencies of different exploratory actions among world-class climbers: Data from world cup bouldering competitions
(Master thesis, 2023)Tidligere studier har undersøkt utforskende handlinger i klatring, men ingen har undersøkt frekvensen av utforskende handlinger i buldring. Målet med denne studien var å beskrive frekvensen av utforskende handlinger som ... -
Investigating the relationship between allocentric spatial working memory and biomarker status in preclinical and prodromal Alzheimer’s disease.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The 4 Mountain Test (4MT) is a test of allocentric spatial working memory and has been proposed as an earlier marker of predementia Alzheimer’s disease (AD) than episodic verbal memory. We here compare the 4MT to the CERAD ... -
Investigating the spectral features of the brain meso-scale structure at rest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Recent studies provide novel insights into the meso-scale organization of the brain, highlighting the co-occurrence of different structures: classic assortative (modular), disassortative, and core-periphery. However, the ... -
Investigation of an Exercise-Induced State of Hypofrontality: And its Potential Association with Central Fatigue
(Master thesis, 2012)The reticular-activating hypofrontality model of acute exercise (RAH) predicts exercise-induced hypoactivity in frontal cortex which mediates executive function. Connors Continuous Performance Test (CCPT) was used to ... -
Investigation of energy expenditure during walking in children with cerebral palsy and typically developing children using raw acceleration data
(Master thesis, 2016)Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience motor disabilities which can lead to difficulties when walking. This is apparent in lower walking speed and higher energy expenditure (EE) when walking compared to ... -
Investigation of individual strategies in the aerial phase in ski jumping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The purpose of this investigation was to examine the performance strategy of three ski jumpers during the steady glide phase and explain how different strategical solutions can lead to jumps of roughly the same length. In ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Five principles for health promotion (HP) stand out in various forms, providing guidance for HP measures and policy implementation: (1) a broad and positive health concept, (2) participation and involvement of key stakeholders, ... -
Involvement in research and development projects among community-working occupational therapists in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted (n = 561). Almost half of the participants took part in research and development projects. Being involved in research and development was associated with lower age, having ... -
