Estimation of free-living energy expenditure by heart rate and movement sensing: a doubly-labelled water study.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-08)Background: Accurate assessment of energy expenditure (EE) is important for the study of energy balance and metabolic disorders. Combined heart rate (HR) and acceleration (ACC) sensing may increase precision of physical ... -
Evidence against a beneficial effect of irisin in humans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-11)Brown adipose tissue has gained interest as a potential target to treat obesity and metabolic diseases. Irisin is a newly identified hormone secreted from skeletal muscle enhancing browning of white fat cells, which improves ... -
Exercise in vivo marks human myotubes in vitro: Training-induced increase in lipid metabolism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background and aims: Physical activity has preventive as well as therapeutic benefits for overweight subjects. In this study we aimed to examine effects of in vivo exercise on in vitro metabolic adaptations by studying ... -
Exploring the provision and motives behind the adoption of health-promotion programmes in professional football clubs across four European countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study mapped existing health-promotion provisions targeting adults in professional football clubs across England, the Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal, and explored motives behind the clubs’ adoption of the European ... -
Force-velocity profiling in athletes: Reliability and agreement across methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of the study was to examine the test-retest reliability and agreement across methods for assessing individual force-velocity (FV) profiles of the lower limbs in athletes. Using a multicenter approach, 27 male ... -
General versus sports-specific injury prevention programs in athletes: A systematic review on the effect on injury rates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Introduction: Annually, 2 million sports-related injuries are reported in Germany of which athletes contribute to a large proportion. Multiple sport injury prevention programs designed to decrease acute and overuse injuries ... -
Hand reach star excursion balance test: An alternative test for dynamic postural control and functional mobility
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Tests of dynamic postural control eliciting full-body three-dimensional joint movements in a systematic manner are scarce. The well-established star excursion balance test (SEBT) elicits primarily three-dimensional lower ... -
How many days are needed to estimate wrist-worn accelerometry-assessed physical activity during the second trimester in pregnancy?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Objective methods to measure physical activity (PA) can lead to better cross-cultural comparisons, monitoring temporal PA trends, and measuring the effect of interventions. However, when applying this technology ... -
Identification and validation of novel contraction-regulated myokines released from primary human skeletal muscle cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-04-24)Proteins secreted by skeletal muscle, so called myokines, have been shown to affect muscle physiology and additionally exert systemic effects on other tissues and organs. Although recent profiling studies have identified ... -
Increased Plin2 expression in human skeletal muscle is associated with sarcopenia and muscle weakness
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-15)Human aging is associated with a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength and a concomitant fat accumulation in form of inter-muscular adipose tissue, causing skeletal muscle function decline and immobilization. Fat ... -
Influence of adiposity and physical activity on the cardiometabolic association pattern of lipoprotein subclasses to aerobic fitness in prepubertal children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aerobic fitness (AF) and lipoprotein subclasses associate to each other and to cardiovascular health. Adiposity and physical activity (PA) influence the association pattern of AF to lipoproteins almost inversely making it ... -
Intake of protein plus carbohydrate during the first two hours after exhaustive cycling improves performance the following day
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-14)Intake of protein immediately after exercise stimulates protein synthesis but improved recovery of performance is not consistently observed. The primary aim of the present study was to compare performance 18 h after ... -
Intra- and inter-individual variability in the underwater pull-out technique in 200 m breaststroke turns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the intra- and inter-individual variability in arm-leg coordination during the underwater phase of the turn segment in 200 m breaststroke. Thirteen male swimmers were ... -
Number of days required to estimate physical activity constructs objectively measured in different age groups: Findings from three Brazilian (Pelotas) population-based birth cohorts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: The present study aims to estimate the minimum number of accelerometer measurement days needed to estimate habitual physical activity (PA) among 6- (2010), 18- (2011) and 30- (2012) year-old participants, belonging ... -
Objectively measured sedentary time among five ethnic groups in Amsterdam: The HELIUS study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-31)Introduction: Sedentary behaviour is increasingly recognised as a health risk. While differences in this behaviour might help explain ethnic differences in disease profiles, studies on sedentary behaviour in ethnic minorities ... -
Organized sport participation is associated with higher levels of overall health-related physical activity in children (CHAMPS study-DK)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-11)Introduction: Many children fail to meet international guideline recommendations for health-related activity (≥60 minutes/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA]), and intervention studies to date have ... -
Performance in youth track and field is associated with birth quartile: A register-based study among athletes in Norway from 10 years to senior level
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction: Earlier studies have demonstrated that the oldest in a competition class are more likely to succeed than the youngest, a phenomenon called relative age effect (RAE). Track and field give us an opportunity to ... -
Physical activity levels in adults and elderly from triaxial and uniaxial accelerometry: The Tromsø Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: Surveillance of physical activity at the population level increases the knowledge on levels and trends of physical activity, which may support public health initiatives to promote physical activity. Physical ... -
Physical activity promoting teaching practices and children’s physical activity within physical education lessons underpinned by motor learning theory (SAMPLE-PE)
