• Propulsive Power in Cross-Country Skiing: Application and Limitations of a Novel Wearable Sensor-Based Method During Roller Skiing 

      Gløersen, Øyvind Nøstdahl; Losnegard, Thomas; Malthe-Sørenssen, Anders; Dysthe, Dag Kristian; Gilgien, Matthias (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Cross-country skiing is an endurance sport that requires extremely high maximal aerobic power. Due to downhill sections where the athletes can recover, skiersmust also have the ability to perform repeated efforts where ...
    • The relationship between selected load-velocity profile parameters and 50 m front crawl swimming performance 

      Gonjo, Tomohiro; Njøs, Nikolai; Eriksrud, Ola; Olstad, Bjørn Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The purpose of the present study was to establish relationships between sprint front crawl performance and a swimming load-velocity profile. Fourteen male national-level swimmers performed 50 m front crawl and semi-tethered ...

      Szczepan, Stefan; Wróblewska, Zofia; Klich, Sebastian; Michalik, Kamil; Gonjo, Tomohiro; Olstad, Bjørn Harald; Rejman, Marek (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      This study aimed to evaluate the test-retest reliability of a sprint performance test with semi-tethered front crawl swimming to indirectly assess the current potential to perform at maximal anaerobic effort in adolescent ...
    • Reliability of load-velocity profiling in front crawl swimming 

      Olstad, Bjørn Harald; Gonjo, Tomohiro; Njøs, Nikolai; Abächerli, Kathrin; Eriksrud, Ola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The purposes of this study were to establish test-retest reliability of calculating load-velocity profiles in front crawl swimming using five and three different external loads, and if outcome results were comparable between ...
    • Similar energy expenditure during BodyPump and heavy load resistance exercise in overweight women 

      Rustaden, Anne Mette; Gjestvang, Christina; Bø, Kari; Haakstad, Lene Annette Hagen; Paulsen, Gøran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Purpose: High-repetition, low-load resistance exercise in group class settings has gained popularity in recent years, with BodyPump as a prime example. For individuals using exercise for body-weight management, the energy ...
    • The Training of Olympic Alpine Ski Racers 

      Gilgien, Matthias; Reid, Robert Cortas; Raschner, Christian; Supej, Matej; Holmberg, Hans-Christer (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Alpine combined was the only alpine ski racing event at the first Winter Olympic Games in 1936, but since then, slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, and team events have also become Olympic events. Substantial improvements ...
    • Validity of velocity measurements of a motorized resistance device during change of direction 

      Eriksrud, Ola; Ahlbeck, Fredrik; Harper, Damian; Gløersen, Øyvind Nøstdahl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The aim of this study was to determine validity of velocity measurements of a motorized resistance device (MRD) during change of direction (CoD). Eight male (age: 22.1 ± 4.2 yrs; weight: 83.3 ± 17.1 kg; height: 181.6 ± 12.6 cm) ...
    • Whole body vibration for chronic patellar tendinopathy: A randomized equivalence trial 

      Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Herfert, Jürgen; Lampl, Katrin; Hecht, Stefan; Niebauer, Josef; Maffulli, Nicola; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Purpose: Whole body vibration (WBV) triggers anabolic responses in various tissues, including tendons, without requiring high force production. In this waitlist-controlled equivalence trial, we tested its clinical effectiveness ...
