      Hamarsland, Håvard; Paulsen, Gøran; Solberg, Paul André; Slaathaug, Ole Gunnar; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      . Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an arduous 1-wk military course on measures of physical performance, body composition, and blood biomarkers. Methods: Participants were apprentices in ...

      Oberholzer, Laura; Montero, David; Robach, Paul; Siebenmann, Christoph; Ryrsøe, Camilla Koch; Bonne, Thomas C.; Bejder, Jacob; Karlsen, Trine; Edvardsen, Elisabeth; Hamarsland, Håvard; Cepeda-Lopez, Ana C.; Rittweger, Jörn; Treff, Gunnar; Ahlgrim, Christoph; Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Hallén, Jostein; Andersen, Andreas Breenfeldt; Rønnestad, Bent R.; Lundby, Carsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024-01-01)
      Blood volume (BV) is an important clinical parameter and is usually reported per kg of body mass (BM). When fat mass is elevated, this underestimates BV/BM. One aim was to study if differences in BV/BM related to sex, age, ...
    • Native whey induces similar post exercise muscle anabolic responses as regular whey, despite greater leucinemia, in elderly individuals 

      Hamarsland, Håvard; Aas, Sigve Nyvik; Nordengen, Anne Lene; Holte, Kari; Garthe, Ina; Paulsen, Gøran; Cotter, Matthew; Børsheim, Elisabet; Benestad, Haakon Breien; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Objective: Elderly muscle seems less sensitive to the anabolic stimulus of a meal. Changes in blood concentrations of leucine are suggested as one important trigger of the anabolic response in muscle. The aim of this study ...
    • No Difference Between Spray Dried Milk and Native Whey Supplementation with Strength Training 

      Hamarsland, Håvard; Handegard, Vilde; Kåshagen, Mauritz; Benestad, Haakon Breien; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background: A rapid digestibility and high leucine content are considered important for maximal stimulation of muscle protein synthesis. Consequently, with these properties, native whey may hold greater anabolic potential ...
