Cancer risk in Norwegian world class athletes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06-11)Background: Physical activity appears to be inversely related to cancer risk, although the evidence is convincing for colon cancer only. As physical activity levels are difficult to measure in the general population, ... -
Cannabis use and the spirit of sport: a response to Mike McNamee
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09)In a recent article in this journal, Mike McNamee (2012: 374–92) noted that “one particularly problematic aspect of present anti-doping policy relates to the existence of what are often and variously referred to as ‘social ... -
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 ... -
Cardiometabolic risk factors in children: reference values, association with cardiorespiratory fitness and effects of the Active Smarter Kids (ASK) physical activity intervention
(Doctoral thesis, 2020)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of disease-related morbidity and global mortality among adults (1, 2). In children, a clinical manifestation of CVD is not present, but studies have shown that atherosclerosis ... -
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in health and disease: cardiorespiratory fitness in adults in Norway and in lung cancer patients undergoing surgery
(Doctoral thesis, 2015)Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is used to quantify an individual’s exercise capacity and is recognized as the main variable for measurement during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). There are limited reference values ... -
Cardiopulmonary fitness, its relationship to dyspnea and the effect of high-intensity training among lung transplant recipients
(Master thesis, 2018)Background: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) remains low after lung transplantation (LTx) despite improvement in pulmonary function. The knowledge about the association to dyspnea is unclear and the effect of high-intensity ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index values in 9-year-old rural Norwegian children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-01-07)Aim: To describe cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index (BMI) values in a representative population of 9-year-old Norwegian children in two rural communities and compare present values with previous findings. Methods: ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular disease risk factors in children : effects of a two-year school-based daily physical activityintervention : The Sogndal school-intervention study
(Doctoral thesis, 2010)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the Western world. Several studies have shown that the pathological processes of atherosclerosis begin in childhood and progress throughout life. Consequently, ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity following lung transplantation: A national cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Low cardiorespiratory fitness and inactivity are common after lung transplantation (LTx). The causes of exercise intolerance are incompletely understood. Objectives: The aim of this study was to objectively ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and physical function in children with cancer from diagnosis throughout treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background: Children with cancer experience severe reductions in physical fitness and functionality during and following intensive treatment. This may negatively impact their quality of life. Purpose: To describe the ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness assessment using risk-stratified exercise testing and dose–response relationships with disease outcomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease, but assessing CRF in the population is challenging. Here we develop and validate a novel framework to estimate CRF (as maximal oxygen ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness in women after severe pre-eclampsia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Aims: To objectively study cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical activity (PA) and to evaluate limiting factors of exercise intolerance associated with poor CRF after severe pre-eclampsia. Methods: In this ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness on a treadmill in an adult cystic fibrosis population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives: (1) To describe the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in an adult cystic fibrosis population related to sex and age, (2) to evaluate the cause of low CRF and (3) to study the association between peak oxygen uptake ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and risk of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Aims/hypothesis The study aimed to quantitatively summarise the dose–response relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength on the one hand and risk of type 2 diabetes on the other and estimate the ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, and fatigue three months after first-ever ischemic stroke
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background: Research on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in relation to physical activity (PA) and fatigue after stroke is limited. Increased knowledge of interrelationships between these factors can help optimize rehabilitation ... -
Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Physical Activity, and Insulin Resistance in Children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: Few studies have investigated the independent and joint associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body fat percentage (BF%) with insulin resistance in children. We investigated the independent and combined ... -
Cardiorespiratory Reference Data in Older Adults: The Generation 100 Study.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Purpose: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is regarded a clinical vital sign, and accurate reference values for all age groups are essential. Little data exist on CRF and cardiorespiratory function in older adults. The aim ... -
Cardiorespiratory, hematological and body composition changes in maturing girls and boys with different training backgrounds
(Doctoral thesis, 2020)This thesis is based on one longitudinal study, monitoring a group of children from age 12 to age 15. The main objective was to establish the association between growth, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), hematological variables ... -
