Acute hamstring injuries : diagnosis and prognosis
(Doctoral thesis, 2018)Introduction: Acute hamstring injury is one of the most common non-contact muscle injuries in sports. The incidence remains high, causing a significant loss of time from training and competition, and a substantial risk of ... -
Effects of an acute bout of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction: -with special reference to muscle damage, hypertrophic signaling and satellite cells
(Doctoral thesis, 2011)Main findings: Blood flow restriction reduces muscle endurance at low exercise loads (20-40% of 1RM) but not necessarily at moderate to higher loads (>50% of 1RM) in the knee extension exercise. The intramuscular pressures ... -
Effects of strength training and supplementation with different milk proteins on regulation of muscle mass in young and elderly
(Doctoral thesis, 2017)The ability to maintain a normal muscle masss or to increase muscle mass from a subotimal level, is of great interest from both a sports and health perspective. The health perspective is especially important for our growing ... -
Effects of strength training for prostate cancer patients during androgen deprivation therapy
(Doctoral thesis, 2015)Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) increases survival rates among prostate cancer (PCa) patients with locally advanced disease, but is associated with side effects that may impair daily function through negative effects ... -
Effects of strength training on specific strength and muscle protein quality control in frail elderly
(Doctoral thesis, 2019)With aging, the loss of muscle strength exceeds the loss of muscle mass. Specific strength, defined as strength normalized to the cross-sectional area of a muscle or muscle group, declines accordingly. A reduced voluntary ... -
Exercise-induced muscle damage in humans : heat shock proteins and inflammation in recovery, regeneration and adaptation
(Doctoral thesis, 2009)Paper I: Paulsen G, Crameri R, Benestad HB, Fjeld JG, Mørkrid L, Hallén J, Raastad T. Time course of leukocyte accumulation in human muscle after eccentric exercise. Med.Sci.Sports Exerc. 2009: In press -
Heat shock proteins and endogenous antioxidants in skeletal muscle: acute responses to exercise and adaptations to training
(Doctoral thesis, 2014)Muscular training adaptations do not only involve the normally investigated increases in muscle size (strength training) or mitochondrial capacity (endurance training), because several homeostatic systems need to follow. ... -
Muscle activation and kinematics in contemporary breaststroke swimming
(Doctoral thesis, 2016)This thesis consists of five studies, the main objectives of which were to establish a reliable method for conducting surface electromyography (EMG) in water over prolonged submersion (Study 1); to develop a specific method ... -
Physiological determinants of performance in modern elite cross-country skiing
(Doctoral thesis, 2013)This thesis consists of four studies with additional unpublished results, in which the main objective was to examine factors that determine performance in modern elite cross-country (XC) skiing. Thirty-two elite male XC ... -
Role of glycogen content on glucose uptake and glycogen synthase in skeletal muscles: The effect of contraction and insulin
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-04)The present thesis is based on 4 papers which have investigated contraction- and insulin-mediated regulations of glucose uptake and GS activation in skeletal muscles with different glycogen contents. The level of glycogen ... -
The role of Achilles tendon properties in the mechanical function of the human triceps surae
(Doctoral thesis, 2019)The mechanical output of the muscle-tendon unit (MTU) is in part governed by the viscoelastic nature of tendinous tissues. The tendon contributes to beneficial contractile conditions during various types of movement. Yet, ...
