Head injuries in FIS World Cup alpine skiers, snowboarders and freestyle skiers: Epidemiology and video analyses of head impact injury mechanisms
(Doctoral thesis, 2019)Background: Head injuries represent a concern in skiing and snowboarding, where traumatic brain injury is the most common cause of death. We therefore wanted to describe the risk of head injuries across disciplines and sex ... -
Health conditions detected in a comprehensive periodic health evaluation of 558
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-24)Background: Despite widespread use of periodic health evaluation (PHE) to detect and prevent injury and illness in athletes, its effectiveness in detecting health conditions and relevant risk factors is still debated. ... -
The health effects of 14 weeks of physical activity in a real-life setting for adults with intellectual disabilities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: The life expectancy of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) is reduced compared to the general population, and one of the main contributors to earlier death is inactivity. Aim: To investigate how ... -
Health protection of the olympic athlete
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Protection of the athletes' health is a clearly articulated objective of the International Olympic Committee. Longitudinal surveillance of injuries and illnesses can provide valuable data that may identify high-risk sports ... -
Health-related aspects of objectively measured daily physical activity in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02-03)It is well established that physical inactivity in adults is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Whether daily physical activity level is related to risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in children ... -
Health-related physical fitness: Status of body composition, musculoskeletal- and neuromotor fitness, and the e ect of a tailored, telephone and email based exercise intervention on body composition and physical fitness
(Doctoral thesis, 2019)Background: The increasing obesity prevalence rates in addition to the increasing physical inactivity rates present serious public health challenges worldwide. The effect of these trends on aspects of health-related physical ... -
Healthier than the rest?: physical activity and cardiovascular disease risk factors in adults in the county of Sogn & Fjordane, Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2015)Physical activity (PA) is important to maintain good health and prevent noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, low levels of PA are observed worldwide. Monitoring of CVD risk factors, ... -
The healthy body image (HBI) intervention: Effects of a school-based cluster-randomized controlled trial with 12-months follow-up
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We examined the effects of the Healthy Body Image (HBI) intervention on positive embodiment and health-related quality of life among Norwegian high school students. The intervention comprised three interactive workshops, ... -
The healthy body image intervention and reduction in eating disorder symptomatology and muscle building supplement use in high school students: A study of mediating factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Mediation analysis is important to test the theoretical framework underpinning an intervention. We therefore aimed to investigate if the healthy body image (HBI) intervention’s effect on eating disorder (ED) ... -
The Healthy Body Image intervention: A school-based, cluster-randomized controlled trial in high school students
(Doctoral thesis, 2020)Background: Researchers have been encouraged to design and evaluate health promotive interventions specifically tailored to promote positive embodiment in adolescents because it is associated with important mental and ... -
Heart rate variability as a measure of exercise- and training response: a parallel eight weeks experimental training study comparing effects of sprint interval training and continuously moderate intensity training on short- and long-term heart rate variability in moderately fit young women and men
(Master thesis, 2011)Aims: Heart rate variability (HRV) is proposed to be a measure of cardiac autonomic activity. This study was designed to investigate the short- and long-term HRV before, during and after eight weeks (3x/week) of sprint ... -
Heat flow, heat capacity and thermal resistance of localized surfaces of the human body using a new calorimetric sensor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A non-invasive sensor equipped with a programmable thermostat has been developed to assess in vivo the heat flow transmitted by conduction from human skin to the sensor thermostat. This device enables the assessment of the ... -
Heat shock protein translocation and expression response is attenuated in response to repeated eccentric exercise
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-11-20)Aim: This study hypothesized that heat shock protein (HSP) translocation and upregulation is more probable to occur after eccentric exercise than after concentric exercise or repeated eccentric exercise. Methods: Fourteen ... -
Heat shock proteins and endogenous antioxidants in skeletal muscle: acute responses to exercise and adaptations to training
(Doctoral thesis, 2014)Muscular training adaptations do not only involve the normally investigated increases in muscle size (strength training) or mitochondrial capacity (endurance training), because several homeostatic systems need to follow. ... -
Heavy strength training improves running and cycling performance following prolonged submaximal work in well‐trained female athletes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-03)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of adding heavy strength training to female duathletes' normal endurance training on both cycling and running performance. Nineteen well‐trained female duathletes ... -
Heavy-load exercise in older adults activates vasculogenesis and has a stronger impact on muscle gene expression than in young adults
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: A striking effect of old age is the involuntary loss of muscle mass and strength leading to sarcopenia and reduced physiological functions. However, effects of heavy-load exercise in older adults on diseases ... -
Heel-strike in walking: Assessment of potential sources of intra- and inter-subject variability in the activation patterns of muscles stabilizing the knee joint
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-04-26)The electromyographic (EMG) signal is known to show large intra-subject and inter-subject variability. Adaptation to, and preparation for, the heel-strike event have been hypothesized to be major sources of EMG variability ... -
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: A pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which ... -
