Early life determinants of physical activity and sedentary time: current knowledge and future research
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Previous findings of the association between low birth weight and subsequent health outcomes have led to the “developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis”. Furthermore, modifiable and partly modifiable early ... -
Early proximal migration of cups is associated with late revision in THA: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 26 RSA studies and 49 survival studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-12)Background and purpose: The association between excessive early migration of acetabular cups and late aseptic revision has been scantily reported. We therefore performed 2 parallel systematic reviews and meta-analyses to ... -
Eccentric cycling does not improve cycling performance in amateur cyclists
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Eccentric cycling training induces muscle hypertrophy and increases joint power output in non-athletes. Moreover, eccentric cycling can be considered a movement-specific type of strength training for cyclists, but it is ... -
ECSS Position Statement 2009: prevention of acute sports injuries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06-09)To maximize the health benefits of sports and exercise and to minimize the direct and indirect costs associated with injuries, developing and adopting injury prevention strategies is an important goal. The aim of this ECSS ... -
Effcts of technique supervision during repeated sprint training in high level junior soccer players
(Master thesis, 2014)Although sprinting skills are considered important in soccer, several aspects regarding sprint conditioning of players remain unclear in research literature. No studies have so far investigated the effect of direct ... -
Effect of a prenatal lifestyle intervention on physical activity level in late pregnancy and the first year postpartum.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Despite documented health benefits for mother and baby, physical activity (PA)-level tends to decline in pregnancy. Overweight/obese and physically inactive women are two selected groups at increased risk of ... -
Effect of a primary care walking intervention with and without nurse support on physical activity levels in 45- to 75-year-olds: The pedometer and consultation evaluation (PACE-UP) cluster randomised clinical trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-03)Pedometers can increase walking and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels, but their effectiveness with or without support has not been rigorously evaluated. We assessed the effectiveness of a pedometer-based ... -
Effect of a regular exercise programme on pelvic girdle and low back pain in previously inactive pregnant women: a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)OBJECTIVE: To determine whether participation in a group fitness class for pregnant women can prevent and treat pelvic girdle pain and low back pain. DESIGN: An observer-blinded randomized controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS: ... -
Effect of aerobic dance on cardiorespiratory fitness in pregnant women: A randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-03)Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of aerobic dance on cardiorespiratory fitness in pregnant women. Design: Randomised controlled trial. Participants: Sixty-two primiparous women with a mean age of 30.6 [standard ... -
Effect of concomitant cartilage lesions on patient-reported outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A Nationwide chohort study from Norway and Sweden of 8470 patients With 5 year follow-up
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)All patients who underwent unilateral primary ACLR registered in the Norwegian and Swedish National Knee Ligament Registries from 2005 to 2008 (n = 15,783) were included in the study. At 5-year follow-up, 8470 (54%) patients ... -
Effect of Endurance and Strength Training on the Slow Component of VO2 Kinetics in Elderly Humans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We compared the effects of 8 weeks of high intensity, aerobic interval training (HIT) and isoinertial resistance training (IRT) on: (i) O2 kinetics during heavy (HiEx) intensity exercise and; (ii) work economy during ... -
Effect of energy restriction and physical exercise intervention on phenotypic flexibility as examined by transcriptomics analyses of mRNA from adipose tissue and whole body magnetic resonance imaging
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-07)Overweight and obesity lead to changes in adipose tissue such as inflammation and reduced insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study was to assess how altered energy balance by reduced food intake or enhanced physical ... -
