Can the Paula method facilitate co-contraction of the pelvic floor muscles?: a 4D ultrasound study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-11-23)Introduction and hypothesis: The aim was to compare constriction of the levator hiatus (LH) and reduction of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) length during instruction of the Paula method (contraction of ring musculature of ... -
Can you breathe yourself to a better pelvic floor?: A systematic review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction: Some authors suggest that breathing exercises should be recommended instead of or in combination with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to prevent and treat urinary incontinence (UI) and pelvic organ prolapse ... -
Can you swim in waves? Children´s swimming, floating and entry skills in calm and simulated unsteady water conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Little is known about the transfer of swimming skills from indoor, flat, calm conditions to outdoor, wavy, unsteady conditions. The aim of the current study was to examine the differences in swimming, floating, and entry ... -
Can you swim?: an exploration of measuring real and perceived water competency
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Little is known about the relationship between real and perceived water competence among youth in the context of drowning prevention or of their perceptions of their risk of drowning. This study reports the findings of ... -
Can β2-agonists have an ergogenic effect on strength, sprint or power performance? Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives: We aimed to examine the effect of β2-agonists on anaerobic performance in healthy non-asthmatic subjects. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Eligibility criteria: We searched four databases (PubMed, ... -
Cancer patients’ experiences of using an Interactive Health Communication Application (IHCA)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-09)Interactive Health Communication Applications (IHCAs) are increasingly used in health care. Studies document that IHCAs provide patients with knowledge and social support, enhance self- efficacy and can improve behavioural ... -
Cancer risk in Norwegian world class athletes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06-11)Background: Physical activity appears to be inversely related to cancer risk, although the evidence is convincing for colon cancer only. As physical activity levels are difficult to measure in the general population, ... -
Cannabis use and the spirit of sport: a response to Mike McNamee
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09)In a recent article in this journal, Mike McNamee (2012: 374–92) noted that “one particularly problematic aspect of present anti-doping policy relates to the existence of what are often and variously referred to as ‘social ... -
Cardiometabolic associations between physical activity, adiposity, and lipoprotein subclasses in prepubertal Norwegian children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lipoprotein subclasses possess crucial cardiometabolic information. Due to strong multicollinearity among variables, little is known about the strength of influence of physical activity (PA) and adiposity upon this ... -
Cardiometabolic risk factors in children: reference values, association with cardiorespiratory fitness and effects of the Active Smarter Kids (ASK) physical activity intervention
(Doctoral thesis, 2020)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of disease-related morbidity and global mortality among adults (1, 2). In children, a clinical manifestation of CVD is not present, but studies have shown that atherosclerosis ... -
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in health and disease: cardiorespiratory fitness in adults in Norway and in lung cancer patients undergoing surgery
(Doctoral thesis, 2015)Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is used to quantify an individual’s exercise capacity and is recognized as the main variable for measurement during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). There are limited reference values ... -
Cardiopulmonary fitness, its relationship to dyspnea and the effect of high-intensity training among lung transplant recipients
(Master thesis, 2018)Background: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) remains low after lung transplantation (LTx) despite improvement in pulmonary function. The knowledge about the association to dyspnea is unclear and the effect of high-intensity ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index values in 9-year-old rural Norwegian children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-01-07)Aim: To describe cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index (BMI) values in a representative population of 9-year-old Norwegian children in two rural communities and compare present values with previous findings. Methods: ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular disease risk factors in children : effects of a two-year school-based daily physical activityintervention : The Sogndal school-intervention study
(Doctoral thesis, 2010)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the Western world. Several studies have shown that the pathological processes of atherosclerosis begin in childhood and progress throughout life. Consequently, ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity following lung transplantation: A national cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Low cardiorespiratory fitness and inactivity are common after lung transplantation (LTx). The causes of exercise intolerance are incompletely understood. Objectives: The aim of this study was to objectively ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and physical function in children with cancer from diagnosis throughout treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background: Children with cancer experience severe reductions in physical fitness and functionality during and following intensive treatment. This may negatively impact their quality of life. Purpose: To describe the ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness assessment using risk-stratified exercise testing and dose–response relationships with disease outcomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease, but assessing CRF in the population is challenging. Here we develop and validate a novel framework to estimate CRF (as maximal oxygen ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness on a treadmill in an adult cystic fibrosis population
