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 ... -
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness in childhood: A narrative review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is an important but not asthma-specific characteristic and can be assessed by direct and indirect methods, based on the stimulus causing airway obstruction. BHR has been proposed as a ... -
Cardiometabolic associations between physical activity, adiposity, and lipoprotein subclasses in prepubertal norwegian children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lipoprotein subclasses possess crucial cardiometabolic information. Due to strong multicollinearity among variables, little is known about the strength of influence of physical activity (PA) and adiposity upon this ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index values in 9-year-old rural Norwegian children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-01-07)Aim: To describe cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index (BMI) values in a representative population of 9-year-old Norwegian children in two rural communities and compare present values with previous findings. Methods: ... -
The causal pathway effects of a physical activity intervention on adiposity in children: The KISS Study cluster randomized clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Very little information on the potential mechanisms of the physical activity interventions effects on adiposity is available. We evaluated the possible mediating factors of a physical activity school‐based ... -
Children’s moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on weekdays versus weekend days: a multi-country analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose The Structured Days Hypothesis (SDH) posits that children’s behaviors associated with obesity – such as physical activity – are more favorable on days that contain more ‘structure’ (i.e., a pre-planned, segmented, ... -
Didactic sensitivity to children and place: a contribution to outdoor education cultures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There is a tendency in European education policy to emphasise more and better deliberate learning outcomes. The tendency is criticised for taking an instrumental view of education (Biesta, 2010, 2016, 2020a; van Manen, ... -
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 ... -
Interpretation of multivariate association patterns between multicollinear physical activity accelerometry data and cardiometabolic health in children-a tutorial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Associations between multicollinear accelerometry-derived physical activity (PA) data and cardiometabolic health in children needs to be analyzed using an approach that can handle collinearity among the explanatory variables. ... -
Multicollinear physical activity accelerometry data and associations to cardiometabolic health: Challenges, pitfalls, and potential solutions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: The analysis of associations between accelerometer-derived physical activity (PA) intensities and cardiometabolic health is a major challenge due to multicollinearity between the explanatory variables. This ... -
Resemblance in accelerometer-assessed physical activity in families with children: The Lolland-Falster Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Evidence of intra-family resemblance in physical activity (PA) is lacking. The association between parent and child PA appears weak, the influence of age and gender on this association is uncertain, and no ... -
Sammenhengen mellom fysisk aktivitet og inntak av frukt og grønnsaker blant norske skoleelever: En kvantitativ studie basert på data fra undersøkelsen «Helsevaner blant skoleelever»
(Master thesis, 2022)Bakgrunn: Norske helsemyndigheter har som mål å skape et mer aktivitetsvennlig samfunn og påvirke barn og unges kostvaner, uavhengig av kjønn, alder og sosioøkonomisk status. Likevel rapporterer majoriteten av barn og ... -
Temporal trends in physical activity levels across more than a decade – a national physical activity surveillance system among Norwegian children and adolescents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background There is a scarcity of device measured data on temporal changes in physical activity (PA) in large population-based samples. The purpose of this study is to describe gender and age-group specific temporal trends ... -
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 ... -
Unpacking the joy of movement – ‘it’s almost never the same’
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Researchers, politicians, physical educators, and children – all advocate the significance of joy of movement. Children desire movement because they find it joyful and meaningful, while politicians and physical educators ... -
Using a multi-stakeholder experience-based design process to co-develop the Creating Active Schools Framework
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background UK and global policies recommend whole-school approaches to improve childrens’ inadequate physical activity (PA) levels. Yet, recent meta-analyses establish current interventions as ineffective due to suboptimal ...
