Sammendrag
There is a scarcity of data on the current levels and secular trends in physical activity,
physical fitness, and their relationship with key risk factors for diseases such as type 2
diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Thus, the overall main objectives were: 1) to
describe physical activity, physical fitness and CVD risk factor levels and 2) to examine the
independent associations of muscle fitness and aerobic fitness with clustered CVD risk in 9-
and 15-year-old Norwegians. Paper I: Kolle E, Steene-Johannessen J, Andersen LB, Anderssen SA. Objectively assessed
physical activity and aerobic fitness in a population-based sample of Norwegian 9- and
15-year-olds. Scand J Med Sci Sports 2009. Published Online: Apr 2009.
