Architectural changes in superficial and deep compartments of the tibialis anterior during electrical stimulation over different sites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Electrical stimulation is widely used in rehabilitation to prevent muscle weakness and to assist the functional recovery of neural deficits. Its application is however limited by the rapid development of muscle fatigue due ... -
Automated Characterization of Muscle Architectural Variation in Ultrasound Images
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Fascicle (fiber bundle) orientation and length are useful parameters to infer the force potential of skeletal muscles. Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to determine fascicle characteristics. In most of the literature, ... -
Branched-chain amino acid metabolism, insulin sensitivity and liver fat response to exercise training in sedentary dysglycaemic and normoglycaemic men
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aims/hypothesis: Obesity and insulin resistance may be associated with elevated plasma concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and impaired BCAA metabolism. However, it is unknown whether the insulin-sensitising ... -
Comparison of finger flexor resistance training, with and without blood flow restriction, on perceptional and physiological responses in advanced climbers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study compared perceptional and physiological responses of finger flexor exercise performed with free flow and blood flow restriction (BFR). Thirteen male advanced climbers completed three sessions of finger flexor ... -
Costamere remodeling with muscle loading and unloading in healthy young men
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-08)Costameres are mechano-sensory sites of focal adhesion in the sarcolemma that provide a structural anchor for myofibrils. Their turnover is regulated by integrin-associated focal adhesion kinase (FAK). We hypothesized that ... -
DL_Track_US: A python package to analyse muscle ultrasonography images
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ultrasonography can be used to assess muscle architectural parameters during static and dynamic conditions. Nevertheless, the analysis of the acquired ultrasonography images presents a major difficulty. Muscle architectural ... -
Epidemiology of MRI-detected muscle injury in athletes participating in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objective: Muscle injury is one of the most common injuries occurring at the Olympic Games often with devastating consequences. Epidemiological injury surveillance is recognised by the IOC as essential for injury prevention ... -
Functional and Structural Adaptations of Skeletal Muscle in Long-Term Juvenile Dermatomyositis: a Controlled Cross-Sectional Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objective: To compare muscle strength and endurance of the knee extensors between patients with long‐term juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) and controls and between patients with active disease and those with inactive disease, ... -
Heavy-load exercise in older adults activates vasculogenesis and has a stronger impact on muscle gene expression than in young adults
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: A striking effect of old age is the involuntary loss of muscle mass and strength leading to sarcopenia and reduced physiological functions. However, effects of heavy-load exercise in older adults on diseases ... -
Illness and injury among Norwegian Para athletes over five consecutive Paralympic Summer and Winter Games cycles: prevailing high illness burden on the road from 2012 to 2020
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective: To describe the illness and injury pattern of Norwegian Para athletes over five consecutive Paralympic Summer and Winter Games cycles and to identify which health problems should be targeted in risk management ... -
Rate of force development relationships to muscle architecture and contractile behavior in the human vastus lateralis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In this study, we tested the hypotheses that (i) rate of force development (RFD) is correlated to muscle architecture and dynamics and that (ii) force–length–velocity properties limit knee extensor RFD. Twenty-one healthy ... -
Subsarcolemmal lipid droplet responses to a combined endurance and strength exercise intervention
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Muscle lipid stores and insulin sensitivity have a recognized association although the mechanism remains unclear. We investigated how a 12‐week supervised combined endurance and strength exercise intervention influenced ... -
Using deep learning to generate synthetic B-mode musculoskeletal ultrasound images
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background and objective Deep learning approaches are common in image processing, but often rely on supervised learning, which requires a large volume of training images, usually accompanied by hand-crafted labels. As ...
