Eccentric cycling does not improve cycling performance in amateur cyclists
(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 ... -
Effects of antioxidant-rich foods on altitude-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in elite endurance athletes: A randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Various altitude training regimes, systematically used to improve oxygen carrying capacity and sports performance, have been associated with increased oxidative stress and inflammation. We investigated whether ... -
Exploring the provision and motives behind the adoption of health-promotion programmes in professional football clubs across four European countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study mapped existing health-promotion provisions targeting adults in professional football clubs across England, the Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal, and explored motives behind the clubs’ adoption of the European ... -
Force-velocity profiling in athletes: Reliability and agreement across methods
(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 ... -
General versus sports-specific injury prevention programs in athletes: A systematic review on the effect on injury rates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Introduction: Annually, 2 million sports-related injuries are reported in Germany of which athletes contribute to a large proportion. Multiple sport injury prevention programs designed to decrease acute and overuse injuries ... -
How many days are needed to estimate wrist-worn accelerometry-assessed physical activity during the second trimester in pregnancy?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Objective methods to measure physical activity (PA) can lead to better cross-cultural comparisons, monitoring temporal PA trends, and measuring the effect of interventions. However, when applying this technology ... -
Influence of adiposity and physical activity on the cardiometabolic association pattern of lipoprotein subclasses to aerobic fitness in prepubertal children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aerobic fitness (AF) and lipoprotein subclasses associate to each other and to cardiovascular health. Adiposity and physical activity (PA) influence the association pattern of AF to lipoproteins almost inversely making it ... -
Intra- and inter-individual variability in the underwater pull-out technique in 200 m breaststroke turns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the intra- and inter-individual variability in arm-leg coordination during the underwater phase of the turn segment in 200 m breaststroke. Thirteen male swimmers were ... -
Number of days required to estimate physical activity constructs objectively measured in different age groups: Findings from three Brazilian (Pelotas) population-based birth cohorts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: The present study aims to estimate the minimum number of accelerometer measurement days needed to estimate habitual physical activity (PA) among 6- (2010), 18- (2011) and 30- (2012) year-old participants, belonging ... -
Performance in youth track and field is associated with birth quartile: A register-based study among athletes in Norway from 10 years to senior level
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction: Earlier studies have demonstrated that the oldest in a competition class are more likely to succeed than the youngest, a phenomenon called relative age effect (RAE). Track and field give us an opportunity to ... -
Physical activity levels in adults and elderly from triaxial and uniaxial accelerometry: The Tromsø Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: Surveillance of physical activity at the population level increases the knowledge on levels and trends of physical activity, which may support public health initiatives to promote physical activity. Physical ... -
Physical activity promoting teaching practices and children’s physical activity within physical education lessons underpinned by motor learning theory (SAMPLE-PE)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose: Movement competence is a key outcome for primary physical education (PE) curricula. As movement development in children emerges through physical activity (PA), it is important to determine the extent of PA promotion ... -
The relationship between the relative age effect and performance among athletes in World Handball Championships
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study examines the relative age effect (RAE) and its impact on the performance of elite male (n = 3,358) and female (n = 3,273) handball players in the U-19 (n = 2,188), U-21 (n = 2,031), and senior (n = 2,412) ... -
Simple muscle architecture analysis (SMA): An ImageJ macro tool to automate measurements in B-mode ultrasound scans
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In vivo measurements of muscle architecture (i.e. the spatial arrangement of muscle fascicles) are routinely included in research and clinical settings to monitor muscle structure, function and plasticity. However, in most ... -
The relative age effect in selection to international team matches in Norwegian handball
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Many elite sport organisations have introduced structured talent identification and development (TID) initiatives in youth sports to better facilitate elite sport performance. However, selection mechanisms for TID programmes ...
