Cyclists' improvement of pedaling efficacy and performance after heavy strength training
Hansen, Ernst Albin; Rønnestad, Bent R.; Vegge, Geir; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The authors tested whether heavy strength training, including hip-flexion exercise, would reduce the extent of the phase in the crank revolution where negative or retarding crank torque occurs. Negative torque normally ... -
Effect of heavy strength training on thigh muscle cross-sectional area, performance determinants, and performance in well-trained cyclists
Rønnestad, Bent R.; Hansen, Ernst Albin; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-12)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of heavy strength training on thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), determinants of cycling performance, and cycling performance in well-trained cyclists. Twenty ... -
Energy expenditure and comfort during Nordic Walking with different pole lengths
Hansen, Ernst Albin; Smith, Gerald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-07)Energy expenditure and comfort for Nordic walking with self-selected and 7.5-cm shorter poles and ordinary walking were measured during uphill (12°), downhill (12°), and horizontally. Twelve (11 women and 1 man) Nordic ... -
Factors affecting cadence choice during submaximal cycling and cadence influence on performance
Hansen, Ernst Albin; Smith, Gerald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-03)Cadence choice during cycling has been of considerable interest among cyclists, coaches, and researchers for nearly 100 years. The present review examines and summarizes the current knowledge of factors affecting the freely ... -
In-season strength maintenance training increases well-trained cyclists’ performance
Rønnestad, Bent R.; Hansen, Ernst Albin; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-08-27)We investigated the effects of strength maintenance training on thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), leg strength, determinants of cycling performance, and cycling performance. Well-trained cyclists completed either ... -
Strength training improves 5-min all-out performance following 185 min of cycling
Rønnestad, Bent R.; Hansen, Ernst Albin; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-11-09)To investigate the effects of heavy strength training on the mean power output in a 5-min all-out trial following 185 min of submaximal cycling at 44% of maximal aerobic power output in well-trained cyclists. Twenty ... -
Voluntary movement frequencies in submaximal one- and two-legged knee extension exercise and pedaling
Stang, Julie; Wiig, Håvard; Hermansen, Marte; Hansen, Ernst Albin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-05)Understanding of behavior and control of human voluntary rhythmic stereotyped leg movements is useful in work to improve performance, function, and rehabilitation of exercising, healthy, and injured humans. The present ...
