(Doctoral thesis, 2016)Inertial measurement units (IMU) are implemented in a variety of commonly-used technological equipment including cars and smartphones. IMUs are sensitive to motion, sample at high frequency, and have become small, wireless, ... -
Quantification of underestimation of physical activity during cycling to school when using accelerometry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05)Background: Cycling to and from school is an important source of physical activity (PA) in youth but it is not captured by the dominant objective method to quantify PA. The aim of this study was to quantify the underestimation ... -
Quantifying instantaneous performance in alpine ski racing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-24)Alpine ski racing is a popular sport in many countries and a lot of research has gone into optimising athlete performance. Two factors influence athlete performance in a ski race: speed and the chosen path between the ... -
Quantifying quadriceps muscle strength in patients with ACL injury, focal cartilage lesions, and degenerative meniscus tears: differences and clinical implications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-11)Background: Reduced quadriceps strength influences knee function and increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis. Thus, it is of significant clinical relevance to precisely quantify strength deficits in patients with knee ... -
Quantitative and Qualitative Assessment of the Posterior Medial Meniscus Anatomy : Defining Meniscal Ramp Lesions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Meniscal ramp lesions have been defined as a tear of the peripheral attachment of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (PHMM) at the meniscocapsular junction or an injury to the meniscotibial attachment. ... -
Race analysis in competitive swimming: A narrative review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Researchers have quantified swimming races for several decades to provide objective information on race strategy and characteristics. The purpose of the present review was to summarize knowledge established in the literature ... -
Radial and oblique impact testing of alpine helmets onto snow surfaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recent studies have found that alpine helmets reduce the risk of focal injuries associated with radial impacts, which is likely due to current alpine helmet standards requiring helmets to be drop-tested on flat anvils with ... -
Randomised controlled trial of a complex intervention by primary care nurses to increase walking in patients aged 60–74 years: Protocol of the PACE-Lift (Pedometer Accelerometer Consultation Evaluation - Lift) trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-04)Physical activity is essential for older people's physical and mental health and for maintaining independence. Guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes weekly, of at least moderate intensity physical activity, with ... -
A randomized controlled trial of a blended physical literacy intervention to support physical activity and health of primary school children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: The concept of physical literacy (PL) has been advocated as the need to create environments fostering sustainable engagement in PA. This study adopted ecological approach to evaluate the effectiveness of a ... -
Randomized trial of cardiovascular prevention in Norway combining an in-hospital lifestyle course with primary care follow-up: The Hjerteløftet study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aims: Cardiovascular risk factor control is suboptimal in Europe, including Norway. The present study examined the efficacy of a multimodal primary prevention intervention programme based on the existing Norwegian health ... -
