Active recovery training does not affect the antioxidant response to soccer games in elite female players
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-07-08)Changes in plasma endogenous and dietary antioxidants and oxidative stress markers were studied following two 90 min elite female soccer games separated by 72 h of either active or passive recovery. The active recovery ... -
Analysis of classical time-trial preformance and technique-specific physiological determinants in elite female cross-country skiers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-03)The present study investigated the contribution of performance on uphill, flat, and downhill sections to overall performance in an international 10-km classical time-trial in elite female cross-country skiers, as well as ... -
Association between paradoxical HDL cholesterol decrease and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients initiated on statin treatment in a primary care setting.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03)ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Statin-induced changes in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are unrelated. Many patients initiated on statins experience a ... -
Beta-Adrenoceptor stimulation potentiates insulin-stimulated PKB phosphorylation in rat cardiomyocytes via cAMP and PKA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-03-23)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Genetic approaches have documented protein kinase B (PKB) as a pivotal regulator of heart function. Insulin strongly activates PKB, whereas adrenaline is not considered a major physiological regulator ... -
Dietary arginine and linear growth: the Copenhagen School Child Intervention Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-10-10)The amino acid arginine is a well-known growth hormone (GH) stimulator and GH is an important modulator of linear growth. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary arginine on growth velocity ... -
Effect of exercises with weight vests and a patient education programme for women with osteopenia and a healed wrist fracture: a randomized, controlled trial of the OsteoACTIVE programme.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-14)Background: Exercise programmes have shown to be important for the prevention of fractures in patients with established osteoporosis. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of such programmes for women with low ... -
Effect of four additional physical education lessons on body composition in children aged 8-13 years: A prospective study during two school years
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-17)Background: Strategies for combating increasing childhood obesity is called for. School settings have been pointed out as potentially effective settings for prevention. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the effect ... -
Evaluation of focal cartilage lesions of the knee using MRI T2 mapping and delayed Gadolinium Enhanced MRI of Cartilage (dGEMRIC)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Assessment of degenerative changes of the cartilage is important in knee cartilage repair surgery. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) T2 mapping and delayed Gadolinium Enhanced MRI of Cartilage (dGEMRIC) are able ... -
Evidence-based intervention in physical activity: lessons from around the world
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-07-18)Promotion of physical activity is a priority for health agencies. We searched for reviews of physical activity interventions, published between 2000 and 2011, and identified effective, promising, or emerging interventions ... -
Global physical activity levels: surveillance progress, pitfalls, and prospects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-07-18)To implement effective non-communicable disease prevention programmes, policy makers need data for physical activity levels and trends. In this report, we describe physical activity levels worldwide with data for adults ... -
Heat shock protein translocation and expression response is attenuated in response to repeated eccentric exercise
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-11-20)Aim: This study hypothesized that heat shock protein (HSP) translocation and upregulation is more probable to occur after eccentric exercise than after concentric exercise or repeated eccentric exercise. Methods: Fourteen ... -
Heat shock proteins and endogenous antioxidants in skeletal muscle: acute responses to exercise and adaptations to training
(Doctoral thesis, 2014)Muscular training adaptations do not only involve the normally investigated increases in muscle size (strength training) or mitochondrial capacity (endurance training), because several homeostatic systems need to follow. ... -
Immunohistochemical changes in the expression of HSP27 in exercised human vastus lateralis muscle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-06-28)Aim: The role of HSP27 in the adaptive process of skeletal muscle to exercise, especially in humans, is not well understood. The objective of this study was to investigate immunohistochemical changes in HSP27 expression ... -
Injuries in youth female football: risk factors, prevention and compliance
(Doctoral thesis, 2011)Football is one of the most popular team sports worldwide. Although the positive health benefits of regular physical activity are well-documented, being active also entails a certain risk of injury. In football, studies ... -
Intervention effects on dietary intake among children by maternal education level: results of the Copenhagen School Child Intervention Study (CoSCIS)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-03)Dietary intake among Danish children, in general, does not comply with the official recommendations. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the 3-year effect of a multi-component school-based intervention on ... -
Marker-based classification of young–elderly gait pattern differences via direct PCA feature extraction and SVMs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-12-08)The classification of gait patterns has great potential as a diagnostic tool, for example, for the diagnosis of injury or to identify at-risk gait in the elderly. The purpose of the paper is to present a method for classifying ... -
Modulating exercise-induced hormesis: does less equal more?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-01)Hormesis encompasses the notion that low levels of stress stimulate or upregulate existing cellular and molecular pathways that improve the capacity of cells and organisms to withstand greater stress. This notion underlies ... -
