A comparison between BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio for identifying cardio-metabolic risk in children and adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-22)BACKGROUND: There is controversial evidence on the associations between anthropometric measures with clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors in pediatric ages. We aimed to examine the associations between body ... -
Active Smarter Kids (ASK): rationale and design of a cluster-randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of daily physical activity on children's academic performance and risk factors for non-communicable diseases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-28)Background: Evidence is emerging from school-based studies that physical activity might favorably affect children’s academic performance. However, there is a need for high-quality studies to support this. Therefore, the ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study examined the impact of high adherence to a neuromuscular training (NMT) warm-up on the risk of lower extremity (LE) injuries in children’s soccer. Twenty U11–U14 youth clubs (n = 92 teams, 1409 players) were ... -
Adiposity, physical activity and neuromuscular performance in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)We investigated the associations of body fat percentage, objectively assessed moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and different types of physical activity assessed by a questionnaire with neuromuscular performance. ... -
An international comparison of patterns of participation in leisure activities for children with and without disabilities in Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-10)Purpose: To investigate whether there are differences in participation in leisure activities between children with and without disabilities in Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands and how much personal and environmental ... -
Are screen-based sedentary behaviors longitudinally associated with dietary behaviors and leisure-time physical activity in the transition into adolescence?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-25)Background: There is a need for more longitudinal studies investigating the associations between screen-based sedentary behaviors (SB), dietary behaviors and leisure-time physical activity (PA). Methods: In the HEIA ... -
Associations between motor competence and physical activity levels of children with intellectual disabilities and/or autism spectrum disorder: Movement matters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Motor competence is important for lifelong physical activity (PA). The current study aimed to examine associations between PA and motor competence. In total, 43 children aged 7–12 years with intellectual disabilities and/or ... -
Associations of physical activity, sedentary time, and cardiorespiratory fitness with heart rate variability in 6- to 9-year-old children: the PANIC study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose: To study the associations of physical activity (PA), sedentary time (ST), and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with heart rate variability (HRV) in children. Methods: The participants were a population sample of ... -
Being present with the patient : a critical investigation of bodily sensitivity and presence in the field of physiotherapy.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This article advocates integrating ideas from phenomenological theory regarding the body with a psychoanalytical theory of language to enrich our understanding of the meaning of bodily presence in the practice of physiotherapy. ... -
Calibration and cross-validation of a wrist-worn Actigraph in young preschoolers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-06)Objective: To calibrate the Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer for wrist-worn placement in young preschoolers by developing intensity thresholds for sedentary, low- and high-intensity physical activity. Furthermore, to ... -
Can you swim in waves? Children´s swimming, floating and entry skills in calm and simulated unsteady water conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Little is known about the transfer of swimming skills from indoor, flat, calm conditions to outdoor, wavy, unsteady conditions. The aim of the current study was to examine the differences in swimming, floating, and entry ... -
Cardiometabolic associations between physical activity, adiposity, and lipoprotein subclasses in prepubertal Norwegian children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lipoprotein subclasses possess crucial cardiometabolic information. Due to strong multicollinearity among variables, little is known about the strength of influence of physical activity (PA) and adiposity upon this ... -
The causal pathway effects of a physical activity intervention on adiposity in children: The KISS Study cluster randomized clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Very little information on the potential mechanisms of the physical activity interventions effects on adiposity is available. We evaluated the possible mediating factors of a physical activity school‐based ... -
Changes in adolescents’ and parents’ intakes of sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit and vegetables after 20 months: results from the HEIA study a comprehensive, multi-component school-based randomized trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-20)Background: Interventions conducted in school-aged children often involve parents, but few studies have reported effects on parents’ own behaviour as a result of these interventions. Objective: To determine if a ... -
Changes in physical activity and sedentary time during adolescence: Gender differences during weekdays and weekend days
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the gender‐specific and time‐segmented changes in accelerometer measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) during adolescence. Methods: The study ... -
Children's moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on weekdays versus weekend days: A multi-country analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: The Structured Days Hypothesis (SDH) posits that children’s behaviors associated with obesity – such as physical activity – are more favorable on days that contain more ‘structure’ (i.e., a pre-planned, segmented, ... -
A closer look at the relationship among accelerometer-based physical activity metrics: ICAD pooled data
