Comparison of muscle activation and kinematics during free-weight back squats with different loads
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Although several studies have examined the effects of performing resistance training with different percentages of one-repetition maximum (1-RM), little is known of the neuromuscular effects and kinematics of lifting low ... -
Cystatin B, cathepsin L and D related to surrogate markers for cardiovascular disease in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Objective: This study investigated potential associations between novel biomarkers for cardiovascular disease and other surrogate markers for health. Methods: Community sample of 170 (92 boys and 78 girls) children aged ... -
Different cardiorespiratory fitness expressions based on the maximal cycle ergometer test show no effect on the relation of cardiorespiratory fitness to the academic achievement of nine-year-olds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and academic achievement has been inconclusive. The results may depend on how cardiorespiratory fitness is expressed. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of ... -
Effects of ten weeks dynamic or isometric core training on climbing performance among highly trained climbers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This is the first study to compare the effects of isometric vs. dynamic core training and characterize core-training adaptations using climbing-specific performance and core strength tests in elite climbers. The aim of the ... -
Electromyographic comparison of the barbell deadlift using constant versus variable resistance in healthy, trained men
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Variable, external resistance is proposed to increasingly augment the muscular stress throughout a dynamic movement. However, it is uncertain how different levels of variable resistance affect the activation in the deadlift. ... -

IQ and mental health are vital predictors of work drop out and early mortality. Multi-state analyses of Norwegian male conscripts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Disability benefits and sick leave benefits represents huge costs in western countries. The pathways and prognostic factors for receiving these benefits seen in recent years are complex and manifold. We postulate ... -
Reproducibility of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time over two seasons in children; Comparing a day-by-day and a week-by-week approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Introduction Knowledge of reproducibility of accelerometer-determined physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (SED) estimates are a prerequisite to conduct high-quality epidemiological studies. Yet, estimates of ... -
Sedentary behavior and light physical activity are associated with brachial and central blood pressure in hypertensive patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background Physical activity is recommended as a part of a comprehensive lifestyle approach in the treatment of hypertension, but there is a lack of data about the relationship between different intensities of physical ... -
The Andersen Aerobic Fitness Test: Reliability and Validity in 10-Year-Old Children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-17)Background: High aerobic fitness is consistently associated with a favorable metabolic risk profile in children. Direct measurement of peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) is often not feasible, thus indirect tests such as ... -
The association between serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor and a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents: The CHAMPS-study DK
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background and objective Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes pose a global health burden. Therefore, clarifying the pathology of these risk factors is essential. Previous studies have found positive and negative ... -
The effects of performing integrated compared to isolated core exercises
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Integrated exercises that mimic daily tasks are generally preferred for improving performance and the later stages of rehabilitation, but it is unknown whether integrated core exercises are better than isolated core exercises ...
