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, ... -
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 ... -
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 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, 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 ... -
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 ... -
Changes in physical activity and basic psychological needs related to mental health among people with physical disability during the Covid-19 pandemic in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: People with a physical disability are more inactive than the general population. Due to the positive effects of physical activity (PA) on physical and mental health, maintaining a physically active lifestyle ... -
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, ... -
Comparison of equations for predicting energy expenditure from accelerometer counts in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-01-14)Several prediction equations developed to convert body movement measured by accelerometry into energy expenditure have been published. The aim of this study was to examine the degree of agreement between three different ... -
Comparison of free-living physical activity measurements between ActiGraph GT3X-BT and Fitbit Charge 3 in young people with haemophilia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction: Measurement of physical activity (PA) using commercial activity trackers such as Fitbit devices has become increasingly popular, also for people with haemophilia (PWH). The accuracy of the Fitbit model Charge ... -
Compulsive exercise and mental health challenges in fitness instructors; Presence and interactions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Some physically active people exercise compulsively, which can be associated with several mental health challenges. Fitness instructors are considered important role models for an active, healthy lifestyle; yet ... -
Contributions of changes in physical activity, sedentary time, diet and body weight to changes in cardiometabolic risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Increased physical activity (PA), reduced time spent sedentary (SED), healthier diet and reduced body weight may all have a positive impact on cardiometabolic risk. The relative importance of change in each of ... -
Correlates of accelerometer-assessed physical activity in pregnancy?: The 2015 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objective methods to measure physical activity (PA) have become available and widely used given the high degree of precision to evaluate PA. However, few studies have used accelerometers to measure PA during pregnancy, ... -
Cost-effectiveness of a day-camp weight-loss intervention programme for children: Results based on a randomised controlled trial with one-year follow-up
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Aims: The aim was to analyse the cost-effectiveness of an intensive weight-loss intervention for children compared with a low-intensity intervention. Methods: One hundred and fifteen overweight children (mean age 12.0 ± ... -
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 ... -
Criterion validity of two physical activity and one sedentary time questionnaire against accelerometry in a large cohort of adults and older adults
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives: We compared the ability of physical activity and sitting time questionnaires (PAQ) for ranking individuals versus continuous volume calculations (physical activity level (PAL), metabolic equivalents of task ... -
