Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease does not impair responses to resistance training
Mølmen, Knut Sindre; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Falch, Gunnar Slettaløkken; Grundtvig, Morten; Koll, Lise; Hanestadhaugen, Marita; Khan, Yusuf; Ahmad, Rafi; Malerbakken, Bente; Lien, Roger; Raastad, Truls; Ellefsen, Stian; Rødølen, Tore Jørgen; Rønnestad, Bent R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prone to accelerated decay of muscle strength and mass with advancing age. This is believed to be driven by disease-inherent systemic pathophysiologies, ... -
A comparison of the effect of strength training on cycling performance between men and women
Vikmoen, Olav; Rønnestad, Bent R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During the last decade numerous review articles have been published on how concurrent strength and endurance training affect cycling performance. However, none of these have reviewed if there are any sex differences in the ... -
Cyclists' improvement of pedaling efficacy and performance after heavy strength training
Hansen, Ernst Albin; Rønnestad, Bent R.; Vegge, Geir; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The authors tested whether heavy strength training, including hip-flexion exercise, would reduce the extent of the phase in the crank revolution where negative or retarding crank torque occurs. Negative torque normally ... -
Effect of heavy strength training on thigh muscle cross-sectional area, performance determinants, and performance in well-trained cyclists
Rønnestad, Bent R.; Hansen, Ernst Albin; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-12)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of heavy strength training on thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), determinants of cycling performance, and cycling performance in well-trained cyclists. Twenty ... -
Effects of heavy strength training on running performance and determinants of running performance in female endurance athletes
Vikmoen, Olav; Raastad, Truls; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Bergstrøm, Kristoffer; Ellefsen, Stian; Rønnestad, Bent R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-08)Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of adding strength training to normal endurance training on running performance and running economy in well-trained female athletes. We hypothesized ... -
Effects of in-season strength maintenance training frequency in professional soccer players
Rønnestad, Bent R.; Nymark, Bernt Sivert; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-10)The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of in-season strength maintenance training frequency on strength, jump height, and 40-m sprint performance in professional soccer players. The players performed the ... -
Heavy strength training improves running and cycling performance following prolonged submaximal work in well‐trained female athletes
Vikmoen, Olav; Rønnestad, Bent R.; Ellefsen, Stian; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-03)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of adding heavy strength training to female duathletes' normal endurance training on both cycling and running performance. Nineteen well‐trained female duathletes ... -
In-season strength maintenance training increases well-trained cyclists’ performance
Rønnestad, Bent R.; Hansen, Ernst Albin; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-08-27)We investigated the effects of strength maintenance training on thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), leg strength, determinants of cycling performance, and cycling performance. Well-trained cyclists completed either ... -
Physiological elevation of endogenous hormones results in superior strength training adaptation
Rønnestad, Bent R.; Nygaard, Håvard; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of transiently elevated endogenous hormone concentrations during exercise on strength training adaptations. Nine subjects performed four unilateral strength training ... -
