    • Added mass in human swimmers: age and gender differences 

      Caspersen, Cecilie; Berthelsen, Petter A.; Eik, Mari; Pâkozdi, Csaba; Kjendlie, Per-Ludvik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-05-23)
      In unstationary swimming (changing velocity), some of the water around the swimmer is set in motion. This can be thought of as an added mass (Ma) of water. The purpose of this study was to find added mass on human swimmers ...

    • Combined strength and endurance training in competitive swimmers 

      Aspenes, Stian; Kjendlie, Per-Ludvik; Hoff, Jan; Helgerud, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-09-01)
      A combined intervention of strength and endurance training is common practice in elite swimming training, but the scientific evidence is scarce. The influences between strength and endurance training have been investigated ...

    • Critical evaluation of oxygen-uptake assessment in swimming 

      Sousa, Ana; Figueiredo, Pedro; Pendergast, David; Kjendlie, Per-Ludvik; Vilas-Boas, João P.; Fernandes, Ricardo J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-03)
      Swimming has become an important area of sport science research since the 1970s, with the bioenergetic factors assuming a fundamental performance-influencing role. The purpose of this study was to conduct a critical ...

    • Drag characteristics of competitive swimming children and adults 

      Kjendlie, Per-Ludvik; Stallman, Robert Keig (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 ...

    • High intensity interval training improves VO2peak, maximal lactate production, time trial and competition performance in 9-11 year old swimmers 

      Sperlich, Billy; Zinner, Christoph; Helleman, Ilka; Kjendlie, Per-Ludvik; Holmberg, H. C.; Mester, Joachim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-08-04)
      Training volume in swimming is usually very high when compared to the relatively short competition time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been demonstrated to improve performance in a relatively short training ...

    • Movement patterns in free water play after swimming lessons with flotation aids 

      Kjendlie, Per-Ludvik; Mendritzki, Marcel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The aim of this study was to investigate the movement patterns of children during free play in a swimming school setting. It was hypothesized that children being taught using flotation vests would be less likely to surface ...

    • Muscle activation in world champions, world-class and national breaststroke swimmers 

      Olstad, Bjørn Harald; Zinner, Christoph; Vaz, João Rocha; Cabri, Jan; Kjendlie, Per-Ludvik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-08)
      Purpose: Investigating the muscle activation patterns and coactivation with the support of kinematics in some of the world’s best breaststrokers and identify performance discriminates related to national elites at maximal ...

    • Muscle coordination during breaststroke swimming: comparison between elite swimmers and beginners
