    • Aerobic fitness related to cardiovascular risk factors in young children 

      Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-12-13)
      Low aerobic fitness (maximum oxygen uptake (VO2PEAK)) is predictive for poor health in adults. In a cross-sectional study, we assessed if VO2PEAK is related to a composite risk factor score for cardiovascular disease (CVD) ...

    • Body fat related to daily physical activity and insulin concentrations in non-diabetic children 

      Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Eiberg, Stig; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo; Ahrén, Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-06-28)
      This study explored the associations between body fat versus daily physical activity and insulin concentrations in non-diabetic young children in a cross-sectional study of 172 children (93 boys and 79 girls) aged 8–11 ...

    • Daily physical activity related to aerobic fitness and body fat in an urban sample of children 

      Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo (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. ...

    • Maximal oxygen uptake versus maximal power output in children 

      Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-11)
      Maximal oxygen uptake ([Vdot]O2max) is considered the optimal method to assess aerobic fitness. The measurement of [Vdot]O2max, however, requires special equipment and training. Maximal exercise testing with determination ...

    • Objectively measured daily physical activity related to cardiac size in young children 

      Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-08-05)
      Training studies in children have suggested that endurance training can give enlargement of cardiac dimensions. This relationship has not been studied on a population-based level in young children with objective methods. ...
