"Shaking or stirring?": a case-study of physical education teacher education in Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2011)The aim of this study was to research physical education teacher educators’ (PETEs) (and to a lesser extent physical education [PE] students’) perspectives on the nature and purposes of physical education teacher education ... -
Shedding light on incidence and burden of physeal injuries in a youth elite football academy: A 4-season prospective study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction: Physeal injuries have been overlooked in epidemiological research in youth sports. Our prospective study investigated the incidence, severity, and burden of physeal injuries in a youth elite football academy. ... -
Shoe midsole hardness, sex and age effects on lower extremity kinematics during running
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-06)Previous studies investigating the effects of shoe midsole hardness on running kinematics have often used male subjects from within a narrow age range. It is unknown whether shoe midsole hardness has the same kinematic ... -
Short- versus full range of motion explosive training to enhance lower limb power production
(Master thesis, 2019)Introduction: Resistance training for sports requiring explosive movements is often performed over the full range of motion (ROM). Interestingly, training with either explosive dynamic or isometric contractions have showed ... -
Short-term and long-term cost-effectiveness of a pedometer-based exercise intervention in primary care: a within-trial analysis and beyond-trial modelling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objectives: A short-term and long-term cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of two pedometer-based walking interventions compared with usual care. Design: (A) Short-term CEA: parallel three-arm cluster randomised trial ... -
Short-term effects of strength and plyometric training on sprint and jump performance in professional soccer players
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-05)The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of combined strength and plyometric training with strength training alone on power-related measurements in professional soccer players. Subjects in the intervention team ... -
Should we individualize training based on force-velocity profiling to improve physical performance in athletes?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an individualized training program based on force-velocity (FV) profiling on jumping, sprinting, strength, and power in athletes. Forty national level team sport ... -
Shoulder complaints more likely in volleyball players with a thickened bursa or supraspinatus tendon neovessels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Shoulder problems are common in volleyball and greatly impede both training and player performance. Subacromial bursa (SAB) thickening and tendon neovascularity have shown relevance in other populations, but their relationship ... -
Sidecut radius and kinetic energy: equipment designed to reduce risk of severe traumatic knee injuries in alpine giant slalom ski racing.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-04)Background: Kinetic energy (Ekin) increases with speed by the power of 2 and is considered a major risk factor for injuries in alpine ski racing. There is no empirical knowledge about the effect of ski geometry on Ekin. ... -
Sidecut radius and the mechanics of turning—equipment designed to reduce risk of severe traumatic knee injuries in alpine giant slalom ski racing.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: There is limited empirical knowledge about the effect of ski geometry, particularly in the context of injury prevention in alpine ski racing. We investigated the effect of sidecut radius on biomechanical variables ... -
Signed up and dropped out: Who are the non-exercisers, what are exercise dropout rates and perceived barriers at fitness clubs?
(Master thesis, 2018)Background: Physical activity (PA) and exercise is favorable, but inactivity is an increasing problem. At the same time fitness clubs have expanded in popularity. To date, the scientific overview of non-exercisers at fitness ... -
Similar energy expenditure during BodyPump and heavy load resistance exercise in overweight women
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: High-repetition, low-load resistance exercise in group class settings has gained popularity in recent years, with BodyPump as a prime example. For individuals using exercise for body-weight management, the energy ... -
Similar increases on muscle functions in COPD and healthy after unilateral training: A randomized controlled study
(Master thesis, 2017)Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) characterize reduced lung functions and skeletal muscle dysfunctions. Resistance training has shown to improve muscle functions to similar degree as healthy. Previous ... -
Similar patterns of tendon regional hypertrophy after low-load blood flow restriction and high-load resistance training
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: Recent evidence indicates that low-load blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) training elicits an anabolic response in tendinous tissue. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the hypertrophic pattern induced ... -
