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 ... -
Comparison of Core Muscle Activation between a Prone Bridge and 6-RM Back Squats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The purpose of this study was to compare core muscle activation during a prone bridge (plank) until failure and 6-RM back squats. Twelve resistance-trained males (age 23.5 ± 2.6 years, body mass 87.8 ± 21.3 kg, body height ... -
Comparison of finger flexor resistance training, with and without blood flow restriction, on perceptional and physiological responses in advanced climbers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study compared perceptional and physiological responses of finger flexor exercise performed with free flow and blood flow restriction (BFR). Thirteen male advanced climbers completed three sessions of finger flexor ... -
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 ... -
A Comparison of Muscle Activation between Barbell Bench Press and Dumbbell Flyes in Resistance-Trained Males
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The purpose of the study was to compare the muscle activity in the prime movers and antagonist between the barbell bench press (BBP) and the dumbbell flyes (DF) Seventeen resistance-trained men (age 22.9 ± 1.8 yrs; height ... -
Comparison of Muscle Activity in Three Single-Joint, Hip Extension Exercises in Resistance-Trained Women
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of the study was to compare neuromuscular activation in the gluteus maximus, the biceps femoris and the erector spinae from the Romanian deadlift, the 45-degree Roman chair back extension and the seated machine ... -
Comparison of Short-Sprint and Heavy Strength Training on Cycling Performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Purpose: To compare the effects of short-sprint training (SST) and heavy-strength training (HST) following a 4-week strength-training period on sprint and endurance capacities in well-trained cyclists. Methods: Twenty-eight ... -
The Conforming, The Innovating and The Connecting Teacher: A qualitative study of why teachers in lower secondary school adopt physically active learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper explores why teachers adopt physically active learning (PAL). Data were collected through ‘go-alongs’ supplemented by individual interviews with 13 teachers in seven Norwegian lower secondary schools. Data were ... -
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 ... -
Contributions of mean and shape of blood pressure distribution to worldwide trends and variations in raised blood pressure: A pooled analysis of 1018 population-based measurement studies with 88.6 million participants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) ... -
Correlates of Commuter Cycling in Three Norwegian Counties
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Globally, there is an increasing challenge of physical inactivity and associated diseases. Commuter cycling is an everyday physical activity with great potential to increase the health status in a population. We aimed to ... -
Cross-sectional and prospective associations between aerobic fitness and lipoprotein particle profile in a cohort of Norwegian schoolchildren
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background and aims The associations between aerobic fitness and traditional measures of lipid metabolism in children are uncertain. We investigated whether higher levels of aerobic fitness benefit lipoprotein metabolism ... -
Cross-sectional and prospective associations between physical activity, body mass index and waist circumference in children and adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Objective: To study the cross-sectional and prospective associations between physical activity (PA) of different intensities, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in children and adolescents using isotemporal ... -
Cross-sectional and prospective associations between sleep, screen time, active school travel, sports/exercise participation and physical activity in children and adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background The aim of this study was to investigate how sleep, screen time, active school travel and sport and/or exercise participation associates with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in nationally ... -
Cross-sectional associations of objectively measured physical activity with brain-derived neurotrophic factor in adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between objectively measured physical activity and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were ... -
Cross-Sectional Associations of Reallocating Time Between Sedentary and Active Behaviours on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Young People : An International Children’s Accelerometry Database (ICAD) Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Introduction Sedentary time and time spent in various intensity-specific physical activity are co-dependent, and increasing time spent in one behaviour requires decreased time in another. Objective The aim of the present ... -
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 ... -
