Maximal oxygen uptake versus maximal power output in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-11)Maximal oxygen uptake ([Vdot]O2max) is considered the optimal method to assess aerobic fitness. The measurement of [Vdot]O2max, however, requires special equipment and training. Maximal exercise testing with determination ... -
Maximal Strength Training as a Therapeutic Approach in Long-Standing Anorexia Nervosa: A Case Study of a Woman With Osteopenia, Menstrual Dysfunction, and Compulsive Exercise
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In persons with anorexia nervosa (AN), compulsive exercise and osteopenia are common symptoms. Although treatment of osteopenia besides weight regain is lacking, maximal strength training (MST) has been found to be effective ... -
The meaning of democracy in an era of good governance: Views of representation and their implications for board composition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Contemporary sport governance contexts are marked by a trend towards efficiency-based board composition and an increasing use of instruments aimed to (re)shape boards. Yet, democratic governance is integral to many countries’ ... -
Meaningful Change Scores in the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Meaningful change scores in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have not yet been established. Purpose: To define the ... -
Measurement invariance of the empowering and disempowering motivational climate questionnaire-coach in youth sport
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The purpose of this study was to test the measurement invariance (across five languages, two time points, and two experimental conditions) of the empowering and disempowering motivational climate questionnaire-coach (EDMCQ-C; ... -
Measurement properties and performance of an eight-minute submaximal treadmill test in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A controlled study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Poor cardiorespiratory fitness is previously reported in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) measured both by maximal and submaximal exercise tests, but a submaximal exercise test with acceptable ... -
Measuring change in trials of physical activity interventions: A comparison of self-report questionnaire and accelerometry within the PACE-UP trial 11 Medical and Health Sciences 1117 Public Health and Health Services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Few trials have compared estimates of change in physical activity (PA) levels using self-reported and objective PA measures when evaluating trial outcomes. The PACE-UP trial offered the opportunity to assess ... -
Mechanical and free living comparisons of four generations of the Actigraph activity monitor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-09-12)Background More studies include multiple generations of the Actigraph activity monitor. So far no studies have compared the output including the newest generation and investigated the impact on the output of the activity ... -
Mechanical and material tendon properties in patients with proximal patellar tendinopathy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction: The effect of chronic patellar tendinopathy on tissue function and integrity is currently unclear and underinvestigated. The aim of this cohort comparison was to examine morphological, material, and mechanical ... -
Mechanical loading of bioengineered skeletal muscle in vitro recapitulates gene expression signatures of resistance exercise in vivo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Understanding the role of mechanical loading and exercise in skeletal muscle (SkM) is paramount for delineating the molecular mechanisms that govern changes in muscle mass. However, it is unknown whether loading of ... -
Mechanical properties of the patellar tendon in elite volleyball players with and without patellar tendinopathy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background: Although differences in mechanical properties between symptomatic and healthy tendons have been observed for the Achilles tendon, the impact of tendinopathy on patellar tendon mechanics is not fully documented. ... -
Mechanical properties, physiological behavior, and function of aponeurosis and tendon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)During human movement, the muscle and tendinous structures interact as a mechanical system in which forces are generated and transmitted to the bone and energy is stored and released to optimize function and economy of ... -
Mechanical work performed during three variations of the clean
(Master thesis, 2016-08-15)The purpose of this research was to compare the work performed on the barbell and about the lower extremity joints during the propulsion phase of cleans performed with different objectives. Eight experienced weightlifters ... -
