A novel approach to solve the “Missing marker problem” in marker-based motion analysis that exploits the segment coordination patterns in multi-limb motion data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-30)Marker-based human motion analysis is an important tool in clinical research and in many practical applications. Missing marker information caused by occlusions or a marker falling off is a common problem impairing data ... -
A novel approach to study human posture control: “Principal movements” obtained from a principal component analysis of kinematic marker data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-08)Human upright posture is maintained by postural movements, which can be quantified by “principal movements” (PMs) obtained through a principal component analysis (PCA) of kinematic marker data. The current study expands ... -
A pedometer-based walking intervention in 45- to 75-year-olds, with and without practice nurse support: The PACE-UP three-arm cluster RCT
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
A pilot study testing the feasibility of skin temperature monitoring to reduce recurrent foot ulcers in patients with diabetes: a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-09)Background: Although monitoring foot skin temperatures has been associated with diabetic foot ulcer recurrence, no studies have been carried out to test the feasibility among European Caucasians. Moreover, the educational ... -
A primary care nurse-delivered walking intervention in older adults: PACE (pedometer accelerometer consultation evaluation)-lift cluster randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-17)Background: Brisk walking in older people can increase step-counts and moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in ≥10-minute bouts, as advised in World Health Organization guidelines. Previous interventions ... -
A prospective study of the influence of perceived coaching style on burnout propensity in high level young athletes: using a self-determination theory perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-06)The article presents sports psychology research on the coach-athlete relationship for high school athletes at a training center for elite athlete athletes who participate in international competition. Structural equation ... -
A randomised controlled study of the long-term effects of exercise training on mortality in elderly people: study protocol for the Generation 100 study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Introduction: Epidemiological studies suggest that exercise has a tremendous preventative effect on morbidity and premature death, but these findings need to be confirmed by randomised trials. Generation 100 is a ... -
A randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of strength training on clinical and muscle cellular outcomes in patients with prostate cancer during androgen deprivation therapy: rationale and design
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-03-29)Background Studies indicate that strength training has beneficial effects on clinical health outcomes in prostate cancer patients during androgen deprivation therapy. However, randomized controlled trials are needed to ... -
A systematic review of reliability and objective criterion-related validity of physical activity questionnaires
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-08-31)Physical inactivity is one of the four leading risk factors for global mortality. Accurate measurement of physical activity (PA) and in particular by physical activity questionnaires (PAQs) remains a challenge. The aim of ... -
A valid and reliable method to measure jump-specific training and competition load in elite volleyball players
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose: Use of a commercially available wearable device to monitor jump load with elite volleyball players has become common practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of this device, ... -
A well balanced life based on ‘the joy of effort’: Olympic hype or a meaningful ideal?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-10)A key goal in the Olympic value system of Olympism is the all-round cultivation of the individual. According to its so-called ‘fundamental principles’, Olympism is a ‘philosophy of life’ with ideals of ‘exalting and combining ... -
