A closer look at the relationship among accelerometer-based physical activity metrics: ICAD pooled data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Accelerometers are widely used to assess child physical activity (PA) levels. Using the accelerometer data, several PA metrics can be estimated. Knowledge about the relationships between these different metrics ... -
A comparative study on adolescents sex education in Zambia and Norway
(Student paper, others, 2014) -
A comparative study to explore the challenges faced by newly qualified nurses in their first year of practice : A cultural perspective of Norway and Zambia.
(Student paper, others, 2013)The purpose of this study was to explore challenges facing newly qualified nurses in the first year of practice, a cultural perspective on Norway and Zambia. This was a qualitative type of study with a purposeful convenience ... -
A comparison of 10 accelerometer non-wear time criteria and logbooks in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background There are many unresolved issues regarding data reduction algorithms for accelerometry. The choice of criterion for removal of non-wear time might have a profound influence on physical activity (PA) and sedentary ... -
A feeling of nature in contemporary Norwegian picturebooks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This article examines and discusses how children’s literature, in particular four contemporary Norwegian picturebooks in which maps are provided, may help readers to connect, combine and relate their aesthetic reading ... -
A longitudinal analysis of the relationships of physical activity and body fat with nerve growth factor and brain-derived neural factor in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neural factor (BDNF) are important for brain function and detectable in the blood. This study explored the longitudinal associations of physical activity and body fat ... -
A Study to Explore Male and Female Involvement in Reproductive health and early childhood care in Norway and Zambia
(Student paper, others, 2013)The impact of male involvement in reproductive health and early childhood care in European countries including Norway has shown to yield great benefits for both the mother and child and the man himself. It has demonstrated ... -
Aarup 1960 and the poetics of materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)All design has its own conditional modes of expression; however, these are realised through the maker’s sense of the possibilities of materiality. This essay was inspired by a reclaimed piece of 1960s furniture designed ... -
Accelerometer epoch setting is decisive for associations between physical activity and metabolic health in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)When analysing physical activity (PA) levels using accelerometry, the epoch setting is critical to capture intensity-specific PA correctly. The aim of the present study was to investigate the PA intensity signatures related ... -
Accuracy of Tracking Devices’ Ability to Assess Exercise Energy Expenditure in Professional Female Soccer Players: Implications for Quantifying Energy Availability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The purpose of the study was to assess the accuracy of commonly used GPS/accelerometer-based tracking devices in the estimation of exercise energy expenditure (EEE) during high-intensity intermittent exercise. A total of ... -
Acoustic noise improves motor learning in spontaneously hypertensive rats, a rat model of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat model of ADHD displays impaired motor learning. We used this characteristic to study if the recently described acoustic noise benefit in learning in children with ADHD is also observed ... -
The ActiGraph counts processing and the assessment of vigorous activity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different band‐pass filters on the measurement bias with ActiGraph counts during high speed running and for estimating free‐living vigorous physical activity (VPA). ... -
An Action Research Approach to Initial Teacher Education in Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-02)This study is an Action Research approach to Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in Norway. Starting from the most important question for me as a teacher educator in Religious Education (RE), namely, ‘How can I improve my ... -
Active Learning Norwegian Preschool(er)s (ACTNOW) – Design of a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of Staff Professional Development to Promote Physical Activity, Motor Skills, and Cognition in Preschoolers [Study protocol]
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction: There is a dearth of high-quality evidence on effective, sustainable, and scalable interventions to increase physical activity (PA) and concomitant outcomes in preschoolers. Specifically, there is a need to ... -
Active Smarter Kids (ASK): Rationale and design of a cluster-randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of daily physical activity on children's academic performance and risk factors for non-communicable diseases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: Evidence is emerging from school-based studies that physical activity might favorably affect children’s academic performance. However, there is a need for high-quality studies to support this. Therefore, the ... -
Activity Level and Nature of Practice and Play in Children’s Football
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This study analyzes the activity level and nature of organized football training (deliberate practice, DPR), compared with when children play football on their own (deliberate play, DPL), in a sample of selected (YT) and ... -
