(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on our lives and society, influencing both individuals’ lifestyles and habits. Recent research shows that anxiety and loneliness have continued to rise, along with changes ... -
Comparison of climbing-specific strength and endurance between lead and boulder climbers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Albeit differences in climbing-specific strength of the forearms have been demonstrated between lead and boulder climbers, little is known about the potential differences in force and power output of the upper body ... -
The consequences of using different epoch lengths on the classification of accelerometer based sedentary behaviour and physical activity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We examined the influence of using different epoch lengths on the classification accuracy of laboratory-controlled sedentary behaviour (SB), and free-living total time and time spent in bouts of SB and moderate-to-vigorous ... -
Cumbersome but desirable—Breaking the code of everyday cycling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction Cycling for transport could integrate physical activity (PA) into daily routines and potentially increase total PA levels. However, for parents with young children, most factors affecting transport mode choice ... -
Different Effects of Adding White Noise on Cognitive Performance of Sub-, Normal and Super-Attentive School Children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Abstract Objectives Noise often has detrimental effects on performance. However, because of the phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR), auditory white noise (WN) can alter the “signal to noise” ratio and improve ... -
Effects of bouncing the barbell in bench press on throwing velocity and strength among handball players
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Bench press is a popular training-exercise in throw related sports such as javelin, baseball and handball. Athletes in these sports often use bouncing (i.e., letting the barbell collide with the chest) to create an increased ... -
The effects of ten weeks resistance training on sticking region in chest-press exercises
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The aim of the study was to compare the effects of a 10-week chest-press resistance training on lifting regions in a trained exercise and a none-trained exercise; the barbell bench press (BBP). Thirty-five resistance trained ... -
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 ... -
From cars to bikes - the effect of an intervention providing access to different bike types: A randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction We aimed to investigate whether providing parents with children in kindergarten with access to different bicycle types could influence (i) travel behavior and cycling amount, and (ii) intrinsic motivation for ... -
Health and well-being of university students before and during COVID-19 pandemic: A gender comparison
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective COVID-19 has affected people’s health in various ways. University students are a particularly sensitive group for mental and physical health issues. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the mental and ... -
Health-related quality of life and intensity-specific physical activity in high-risk adults attending a behavior change service within primary care
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Objectives Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important outcome for health interventions, such as physical activity (PA) promotion among high-risk populations. The aim of this study was to investigate levels of ... -
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 ... -
Less physical activity and more varied and disrupted sleep is associated with a less favorable metabolic profile in adolescents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Sleep and physical activity are modifiable behaviors that play an important role in preventing overweight, obesity, and metabolic health problems. Studies of the association between concurrent objective measures ... -
Muscle activation with swinging loads in bench press
