A randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of strength training on clinical and muscle cellular outcomes in patients with prostate cancer during androgen deprivation therapy: rationale and design
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-03-29)Background Studies indicate that strength training has beneficial effects on clinical health outcomes in prostate cancer patients during androgen deprivation therapy. However, randomized controlled trials are needed to ... -
Acute and long-term effects of blood flow restricted training on heat shock proteins and endogenous antioxidant systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Blood flow restricted exercise (BFRE) with low loads has been demonstrated to induce considerable stress to exercising muscles. Muscle cells have developed a series of defensive systems against exercise-induced stress. ... -
Application of dGNSS in alpine ski racing: Basis for evaluating physical demands and safety
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)External forces, such as ground reaction force or air drag acting on athletes' bodies in sports, determine the sport-specific demands on athletes' physical fitness. In order to establish appropriate physical conditioning ... -
Changes in health-related quality of life in elderly men after 12 weeks of strength training
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-30)Background: Muscular strength is associated with functional ability in elderly, and older adults are recommended to perform muscle-strengthening exercise. Understanding how improved muscle strength and -mass influence ... -
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease does not impair responses to resistance training
(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, ... -
Comparing the effects of variable and traditional resistance training on maximal strength and muscle power in healthy adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objectives: The aim of the study was to aggregate different effects between variable resistance training and traditional resistance training on maximal muscle strength and muscle power and identify potential sex- and ... -
Distribution of lower extremity work during clean variations performed with different effort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The purpose of this research was to investigate how lower extremity work was distributed during the pull of cleans performed lifting the barbell to the minimum height required to receive it in a full squat (minimal height ... -
Does low and heavy load resistance training affect musculoskeletal pain in overweight and obese women? Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Overweight and obesity are associated with musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the female population. However, regular resistance training may positively affect these complaints. Objective: The present study ... -
Does regular strength training cause urinary incontinence in overweight inactive women? A randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction and hypothesis: Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in women who exercise. We aimed to investigate new onset UI in formerly inactive, overweight or obese women (BMI > 25) participating in three different ... -
Eccentric cycling does not improve cycling performance in amateur cyclists
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Eccentric cycling training induces muscle hypertrophy and increases joint power output in non-athletes. Moreover, eccentric cycling can be considered a movement-specific type of strength training for cyclists, but it is ... -
Effectiveness of a resistance training program on physical function, muscle strength, and body composition in community-dwelling older adults receiving home care: A cluster-randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Aging is associated with reduced muscle mass and strength leading to impaired physical function. Resistance training programs incorporated into older adults’ real-life settings may have the potential to counteract ... -
Effects of heavy strength training on running performance and determinants of running performance in female endurance athletes
(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 ... -
Explosive Resistance Training Using Elastic Bands in Young Female Team Handball Players
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The aim of the study was to examine the effects of full-body elastic resistance band training in young female team handball players. 12 players (16.5±0.7 years, 166±5.0 cm, 65.9±8.8 kg) completed an 11-week control period ... -
Irisin and FNDC5: effects of 12-week strength training, and relations to muscle phenotype and body mass composition in untrained women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-07)Purpose: To investigate the effects of strength training on abundances of irisin-related biomarkers in skeletal muscle and blood of untrained young women, and their associations with body mass composition, muscle phenotype ... -
Ischemic strength training: a low-load alternative to heavy resistance exercise?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-05-04)Strength training with low loads in combination with vascular occlusion has been proposed as an alternative to heavy resistance exercise in the rehabilitation setting, especially when high forces acting upon the musculo-skeletal ... -
Morning Preconditioning Exercise Does Not Increase Afternoon Performance in Competitive Runners
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: Preconditioning exercise is a widely used strategy believed to enhance performance later the same day. The authors examined the influence of preconditioning exercises 6 hours prior to a time-to-exhaustion (TTE) ... -
Muscular HSP70 content is higher in elderly compared to young, but is normalized after 12 weeks of strength training
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: Aging is associated with increased myocellular stress and loss of muscle mass and function. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are upregulated during periods of stress as part of the cells protective system. Exercise can ... -
