Association between work stress, physical exercise, and chronic shoulder/neck pain: the HUNT Study
(Master thesis, 2012)Background: It is well documented that high work stress and low job control is associated with increased risk of shoulder/neck pain while regular physical exercise reduces this risk. However, there is limited knowledge ... -
Association of chronic pain and fibromyalgia with cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome: the Norwegian HUNT study
(Master thesis, 2011)Background: Chronic pain is a common condition, affecting a high percentage of the population. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome characterized by chronic widespread pain, fatigue and tenderness at specific anatomical locations ... -
Biomechanical analysis of the herringbone technique in classical cross-country skiing
(Master thesis, 2011)Purpose: To investigate the mechanics of the cross-country herringbone technique and to enhance the understanding of adaptations in kinematics and kinetics due to increasing velocity. Method: Eleven male elite cross-country ... -
Biometric Characterization of the Stretch Response in Children with Cerebral Palsy and its Relation with the Tardieu Scale
(Master thesis, 2011)Objective: The main purpose of this study was to determine to what extent resistance to passive stretch, obtained as in the Tardieu test (TS), can evaluate spasticity in the elbow flexors of children with cerebral palsy ... -
Daytime stress, shoulder/neck-pain, and the relation to nocturnal heart rate variability
(Master thesis, 2011)Stress and musculoskeletal pain (MSP) may affect the regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Earlier studies have revealed that subjects with MSP show reduced heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep indicating an ... -
Effect of physical activity on gestational age and preterm birth: The HUNT study
(Master thesis, 2011)Background The level of physical activity (PA) in the general population is considered too low, and this has also been shown for pregnant women. Although recent research has shown that regular moderate PA may be beneficial ... -
Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction Diagnostics: Impact of a Repeated Exercise Challenge Test
(Master thesis, 2011)OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study was to evaluate whether a repeated exercise challenge test requires reconsideration of the final exercise-induced bronchoconstriction diagnosis due to a difference in test results, and if so, ... -
High-level mobility in adults with traumatic brain injury and adults bom with very low birth weight
(Master thesis, 2012)Background and aim: Persons sustaining different types of brain injury may experience difficulties with advanced mobility. Both persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and persons born with very low birth weight (VLBW) ... -
Oxygen consumption in cycling: The difference between the whole body and the local muscles
(Master thesis, 2011)Introduction: Oxygen consumption during exercise has been extensively studied with the focus primarily on whole body oxygen consumption (tVO2). The purpose of this thesis was to use Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to ... -
Physical activity before and during pregnancy and size at birth
(Master thesis, 2011)Background: Newborn macrosomia is related to a range of serious health outcomes for both the baby and the mother. Maternal lifestyle factors, including physical activity and body mass index, may influence the final birth ... -
The Association between Circulating Androgen Levels, Body Composition, and Physical Performance in Female Soccer Players and Cross-Country Skiers
(Master thesis, 2012)Background: In recent research, links have been found between androgens and anabolic body composition. Some findings suggest that androgen hormones in female athletes are positively associated with both power and aerobic ... -
The association between physical activity, mental health, and personality: The HUNT study
(Master thesis, 2011)Background: Previous studies have suggested that physically active behavior is associated with reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. It is uncertain whether this relationship is affected by a third underlying factor. ... -
The Association between Weight Change and Cardiovascular Mortality: The HUNT Study, Norway
(Master thesis, 2011)Background: Obesity has become a widespread health problem all over the world and is related to adverse levels of cardiovascular risk factors, which rapidly improve after weight loss. However, observational studies have ... -
The effect of skiing intensity on shooting performance in biathlon
(Master thesis, 2012)An earlier study of shooting performance in biathletes found a decrease in performance as the intensity increased. No studies have focused on the technique used by biathletes in standing shooting, which differs from the ... -
The effect of strength and absolute load on position variability in isometric position tasks
(Master thesis, 2012)The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between strength and position control, with an emphasis on measurements at low, absolute levels of force, as well as to examine the effect of load on position ... -
The relation between change in blood pressure and death from cardiovascular disease
(Master thesis, 2011)Background: It is well established that high blood pressure (BP) increase the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, most studies have focused on baseline BP, and relatively few have examined the effects ... -
The relation between chronic musculoskeletal pain and obesity: The HUNT Study, Norway
(Master thesis, 2011)Background: General obesity is a risk factor for fibromyalgia (FM), especially in physically inactive women, while abdominal obesity is a recognized risk factor for, and a feature in several metabolic diseases. Women with ... -
The Relation Between Leisure Time Physical Exercise, Physical and Psychosocial Work Demands, and Risk of Fibromyalgia in Working Women; The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study
(Master thesis, 2011)Background: The associations between physical exercise, physical and psychosocial work demands, and risk of musculoskeletal pain are well documented. However, studies investigating these independent associations related ... -
The Relation between Stress, Muscle Activity, and Shoulder/Neck Pain: a Long-Term Field Study on Health Care Workers
(Master thesis, 2011)Background: Shoulder and neck pain (SNP) is one of the main causes for sick-leave, and the high prevalence affects occupations with both high, moderate and low workloads. At present, the knowledge about pain mechanisms in ... -
Upper Extremity Muscle Endurance in Children with Cerebral Palsy
(Master thesis, 2011)Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether submaximal muscle endurance at 20% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) is as reduced as muscle strength in elbow flexion in children with cerebral palsy (CP), ...
