    • Eccentric cycling does not improve cycling performance in amateur cyclists 

      Paulsen, Gøran; Eidsheim, Hedda; Helland, Christian; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Solberg, Paul André; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Eccentric cycling training induces muscle hypertrophy and increases joint power output in non-athletes. Moreover, eccentric cycling can be considered a movement-specific type of strength training for cyclists, but it is ...
    • Force-velocity profiling in athletes: Reliability and agreement across methods 

      Lindberg, Kolbjørn Andreas; Bjørnsen, Thomas; Helland, Christian; Rønnestad, Bent; Haugen, Thomas André; Østerås, Sindre; Kristoffersen, Morten; Paulsen, Gøran; Solberg, Paul André; Frank, Martin Thorsen; Midttun, Magnus; Sæland, Fredrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The aim of the study was to examine the test-retest reliability and agreement across methods for assessing individual force-velocity (FV) profiles of the lower limbs in athletes. Using a multicenter approach, 27 male ...
    • Is Rating of Perceived Exertion a Valuable Tool for Monitoring Exercise Intensity During Steady-State Conditions in Elite Endurance Athletes? 

      Losnegard, Thomas Johansen; Skarli, Sondre; Hansen, Joar; Roterud, Stian; Svendsen, Ida S.; Rønnestad, Bent; Paulsen, Gøran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
