Altered Triceps Surae Muscle-Tendon Unit Properties after 6 Months of Static Stretching
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction: This study examined the effects of 24 wk of daily static stretching of the plantarflexors (unilateral 4 × 60-s stretching, whereas the contralateral leg served as a control; n = 26) on joint range of motion ... -
Analysis of a severe head injury in world cup alpine skiing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death in alpine skiing. It has been found that helmet use can reduce the incidence of head injuries between 15% and 60%. However, knowledge on optimal helmet performance ... -
Are self-report measures able to define individuals as physically active or inactive?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02)Purpose: Assess the agreement between commonly used self-report methods compared with objectively measured physical activity (PA) in defining the prevalence of individuals compliant with PA recommendations. Methods: Time ... -
Association between Lower Extremity Muscle Strength and Noncontact ACL Injuries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Purpose: This study aimed to prospectively investigate the association between isolated and functional lower extremity muscle strength and the risk for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in Norwegian female ... -
Associations between Device-measured Physical Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in the Transition to Early Adulthood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purposes: The aims of this study were to investigate the cross-sectional and prospective associations between accelerometer-measured physical activity and cardiometabolic health in the transition to adulthood. Methods: ... -
Caffeine and performance over consecutive days of simulated competition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09)Purpose: Performance improvements after caffeine (CAF) ingestion are well documented when using a 1-d protocol. In numerous competitions such as the Tour de France, Tour de Ski, world championships, and National College ... -
Caffeine increases performance in cross-country double-poling time trial exercise
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-11)PURPOSE: Caffeine (CAF) improves performance in both short- and long-duration running and cycling where performance relies on power output and endurance capacity of leg muscles. No studies have so far tested ... -
Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Physical Activity, and Insulin Resistance in Children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: Few studies have investigated the independent and joint associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body fat percentage (BF%) with insulin resistance in children. We investigated the independent and combined ... -
Cardiorespiratory Reference Data in Older Adults: The Generation 100 Study.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Purpose: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is regarded a clinical vital sign, and accurate reference values for all age groups are essential. Little data exist on CRF and cardiorespiratory function in older adults. The aim ... -
Depressed Physical Performance Outlasts Hormonal Disturbances after Military Training
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018). Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an arduous 1-wk military course on measures of physical performance, body composition, and blood biomarkers. Methods: Participants were apprentices in ... -
Dietary Nitrate and Nitric Oxide Metabolism Mouth, Circulation, Skeletal Muscle, and Exercise Performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous signaling molecule that plays an important role in myriad physiological processes including the regulation of vascular tone, neurotransmission, mitochondrial respiration and skeletal muscle ... -
Effects of 150- And 450-mL Acute Blood Losses on Maximal Oxygen Uptake and Exercise Capacity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: This study investigated whether maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) and exercise capacity are affected by small acute blood loss (150 mL) and elucidated compensatory mechanisms. Methods: Thirteen male subjects (V˙O2max, ... -
Effects of increased loading on in vivo tendon properties: a systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09)Introduction: In vivo measurements have been used in the past two decades to investigate the effects of increased loading on tendon properties, yet the current understanding of tendon macroscopic changes to training is ... -
Effects of Reducing Sedentary Time on Glucose Metabolism in Pakistani Immigrant Men
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-04)Purpose: This study aimed to examine the association between changes in objectively measured overall physical activity (PA) and changes in fasting and postprandial plasma insulin, C-peptide, and glucose concentrations in ... -
Exploring the relationship between adiposity and fitness in young children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-09)Objective: High levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) may attenuate the association between excessive adiposity and the risks of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. The purpose of this study was to stratify children ... -
