Multiple behaviour change intervention and outcomes in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes: the ADDITION-Plus randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-24)The aim of this study was to assess whether or not a theory-based behaviour change intervention delivered by trained and quality-assured lifestyle facilitators can achieve and maintain improvements in physical activity, ... -
The multivariate physical activity signature associated with metabolic health in children and youth: An International Children's Accelerometry Database (ICAD) analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)There is solid evidence for an association between physical activity and metabolic health outcomes in children and youth, but for methodological reasons most studies describe the intensity spectrum using only a few summary ... -
Muscle activation and kinematics in contemporary breaststroke swimming
(Doctoral thesis, 2016)This thesis consists of five studies, the main objectives of which were to establish a reliable method for conducting surface electromyography (EMG) in water over prolonged submersion (Study 1); to develop a specific method ... -
Muscle activation characteristics in cross-country skiers with a history of anterior compartment pain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-08-01)A large proportion of elite cross-country skiers suffer from chronic anterior compartment syndrome (CACS). This study used surface electromyograms (EMGs) to investigate whether differences existed in the activation ... -
Muscle Activation in Unilateral Barbell Exercises: Implications for Strength Training and Rehabilitation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The purpose of the present investigation was to assess lower-body muscle activity and hamstrings-to-quadriceps (HQ) activation ratios during performance of the split squat (SS), single-leg squat (SLS), and rear foot elevated ... -
Muscle activation in world champions, world-class and national breaststroke swimmers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-08)Purpose: Investigating the muscle activation patterns and coactivation with the support of kinematics in some of the world’s best breaststrokers and identify performance discriminates related to national elites at maximal ... -
Muscle activation of thigh muscles in predetermined and randomized cutting directions during side-cut faking tasks among female handball athletes: A cross-sectional study
(Master thesis, 2022)Purpose: Muscle activity is an important factor contributing to knee joint stability during side-cut faking maneuvers. The side-cut faking maneuver is one of the most common non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ... -
Muscle coordination during breaststroke swimming: comparison between elite swimmers and beginners
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02)The present study aimed to compare muscle coordination strategies of the upper and lower limb muscles between beginners and elite breaststroke swimmers. Surface electromyography (EMG) of eight muscles was recorded in 16 ... -
Muscle coordination, activation and kinematics of world-class and elite breaststroke swimmers during submaximal and maximal efforts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-25)The aims of this study were to describe muscular activation patterns and kinematic variables during the complete stroke cycle (SC) and the different phases of breaststroke swimming at submaximal and maximal efforts. Surface ... -
Muscle mechanics in diagonal stride cross-country skiing and the effect of speed and incline
(Master thesis, 2021)Background: In gaits, such as running and walking, decoupling of the muscle fascicles length changes from the length changes of whole muscle-tendon unit (MTU), allows muscle fascicles to work almost isometrically and close ... -
Muscle morphological and strength adaptations to endurance vs. resistance training
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Fascicle angle (FA) is suggested to increase as a result of fiber hypertrophy and furthermore to serve as the explanatory link in the discrepancy in the relative adaptations in the anatomical cross-sectional area (CSA) and ... -
Muscle protein breakdown is impaired during immobilization compared to during a subsequent retraining period in older men: no effect of anti-inflammatory medication
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Muscle inactivity reduces muscle protein synthesis (MPS), whereas a subsequent period of rehabilitation resistance training (retraining) increases MPS. However, less is known regarding muscle protein breakdown (MPB) during ... -
Muscle strength and hop performance criteria prior to return to sports after ACL reconstruction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-09-20)Purpose The purpose of this article is to present recommendations for new muscle strength and hop performance criteria prior to a return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods A search ... -
Muscle strength and osteoarthritis progression after surgery or exercise for degenerative meniscal tears: Secondary analyses of a randomized trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objective: To evaluate muscle strength changes following partial meniscectomy or exercise therapy for degenerative meniscal tears and the relationship between baseline muscle strength and osteoarthritis progression. Methods: ... -
Muscle strength characteristics following megaprosthetic knee reconstruction for bone sarcoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Objective: To assess muscle strength characteristics in patients with resection and megaprosthetic reconstruction of the knee for bone sarcoma compared to age- and sex-matched controls. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, ... -
Muscle strength is associated with physical function in community-dwelling older adults receiving home care: A cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Higher maximal- and explosive strength is associated with better physical function among older adults. Although the relationship between isometric maximal strength and physical function has been examined, few ... -
Muscular exercise capacity and body fat predict VO2peak in heart transplant recipients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-06-01)Heart transplant (HTx) recipients usually have reduced exercise capacity, with reported VO2peak levels of 50–70% of predicted values. This study aimed to evaluate central and peripheral factors predictive of VO2peak. ... -
Muscular HSP70 content is higher in elderly compared to young, but is normalized after 12 weeks of strength training
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: Aging is associated with increased myocellular stress and loss of muscle mass and function. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are upregulated during periods of stress as part of the cells protective system. Exercise can ... -
Musculoskeletal adaptations to strength training in frail elderly: A matter of quantity or quality?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background The improvement in muscle strength generally exceeds the increase in muscle size following strength training in frail elderly, highlighting the complex aetiology of strength deficit in aging. The aim of this ... -
