Altitude and endurance athletes : effects of acute and chronic hypoxic exposure
(Doctoral thesis, 2008)“How does altitude affect performance"? This question has been asked by athletes, coaches and sport scientists for many years. Most of the current interest in altitude and altitude training can be traced back to the 1968 ... -
Physical education in Scandinavia with a focus on Sweden : a comparative perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008)PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to investigate meanings attached to physical education in the Scandinavian countries through (1) the different national syllabi; and (2) interpretations and conclusions researchers ... -
'No systematic doping in football': A critical review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-01-01)This essay examines the degree to which football administrators are correct to believe that there is relatively little use of performance-enhancing drugs in elite football. In contrast to FIFA's reliance on the results of ... -
Comparison of equations for predicting energy expenditure from accelerometer counts in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-01-14)Several prediction equations developed to convert body movement measured by accelerometry into energy expenditure have been published. The aim of this study was to examine the degree of agreement between three different ... -
Validation of ActiReg (R) to measure physical activity and energy expenditure against doubly labelled water in obese persons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-01-15)ActiReg® is an instrument that uses combined recordings of body position and motion to calculate energy expenditure (EE) and physical activity (PA). The aim of the study was to compare mean total energy expenditure (TEE) ... -
A proposed framework for developing a plan for research in lifesaving and water safety
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02)In the centers for aquatic research, the infrastructure, methodology, and expertise already exist. What remains is to integrate the needs and interests of lifesaving research into these programs. Especially in physiology ... -
Drag characteristics of competitive swimming children and adults
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02)The aims of this study were to compare drag in swimming children and adults, quantify technique using the technique drag index (TDI), and use the Froude number (Fr) to study whether children or adults reach hull speed at ... -
Daily physical activity related to aerobic fitness and body fat in an urban sample of children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02-03)This study evaluates associations between objectively measured daily physical activity vs aerobic fitness and body fat in children aged 8–11 years. A cross-sectional study of 225 children aged 7.9–11.1 years was performed. ... -
Between- and within-day variability in physical activity and inactivity in 9-and 15-year-old European children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02-03)To examine differences in levels of physical activity (PA), time spent at moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) and time spent sedentary between and within days in children from four European countries, 1954 9 - and ... -
Health-related aspects of objectively measured daily physical activity in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02-03)It is well established that physical inactivity in adults is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Whether daily physical activity level is related to risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in children ... -
