Classmates motivate childhood cancer patients to participate in physical activity during treatment: A qualitative study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction Children with cancer experience reduced physical fitness and compromised social relationships during and following intensive treatment. This may negatively impact their quality of life. As part of the RESPECT ... -
Clinical responses following inspiratory muscle training in exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is relatively common in young people. Treatment rests on poor evidence; however, inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been proposed a promising strategy. We aimed to ... -
Coingestion of protein and carbohydrate in the early recovery phase, compared with carbohydrate only, improves endurance performance despite similar glycogen degradation and AMPK phosphorylation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The present study compared the effects of postexercise carbohydrate plus protein (CHO+PROT) and carbohydrate (CHO)-only supplementation on muscle glycogen metabolism, anabolic cell signaling, and subsequent exercise ... -
Contribution of oxygen extraction fraction to maximal oxygen uptake in healthy young men
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We analysed the importance of systemic and peripheral arteriovenous O2 difference (a-vO2 difference and a-vfO2 difference, respectively) and O2 extraction fraction for maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Fick law of diffusion ... -
Correlates of objectively assessed physical activity and sedentary time in children: a cross-sectional study (The European Youth Heart Study)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-09-07)BACKGROUND: Identifying leisure time activities performed before and after school that influence time in physical activity (PA) and/or time spent sedentary can provide useful information when designing interventions aimed ... -
Criteria for the determination of maximal oxygen uptake in patients newly diagnosed with cancer: Baseline data from the randomized controlled trial of physical training and cancer (Phys-Can)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction: Maximal oxygen uptake () is a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness often used to monitor changes in fitness during and after treatment in cancer patients. There is, however, limited knowledge in how criteria ... -
Cross-sectional and prospective associations between sleep, screen time, active school travel, sports/exercise participation and physical activity in children and adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: The aim of this study was to investigate how sleep, screen time, active school travel and sport and/or exercise participation associates with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in nationally ... -
Cross-Sectional Associations of Reallocating Time Between Sedentary and Active Behaviours on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Young People : An International Children’s Accelerometry Database (ICAD) Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Introduction Sedentary time and time spent in various intensity-specific physical activity are co-dependent, and increasing time spent in one behaviour requires decreased time in another. Objective The aim of the present ... -
Device-measured physical activity, adiposity and mortality: A harmonised meta-analysis of eight prospective cohort studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: The joint associations of total and intensity-specific physical activity with obesity in relation to all-cause mortality risk are unclear. Methods: We included 34 492 adults (72% women, median age 62.1 years, ... -
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 ... -
Differences in fat loss in response to physical activity among severely obese men and women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-02-04)Background: Direct measurement of physical activity may be critical to revealing its relationship with the change in fat mass over time. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between accelerometer-determined ... -
Different factors associate with body image in adolescence than in emerging adulthood: A gender comparison in a follow-up study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-31)All individuals have a certain perception of their own body, called body image. The view on body image is two dimensional: attitudinal and perceptual (Soponaru, Bojian, & Lorga, 2016). The attitudinal dimension is a ... -
