A 12-month randomised pilot trial of the Alzheimer’s and music therapy study: a feasibility assessment of music therapy and physical activity in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: The Alzheimer’s and Music Therapy (ALMUTH) study is the first randomised controlled trial (RCT) design with 12 months of active non-pharmacological therapy (NPT) implementing music therapy (MT) and physical ... -
3rd graders’ experience of Life Skills in primary school
(Master thesis, 2021)The following master thesis will explore Norwegian 3rd graders’ experience of Life Skills in primary school. Not much is currently known about pupils’ experience of this, and the study, therefore, takes on a qualitative ... -
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 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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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). ... -
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 ... -
Acute Effects of Barbell Bouncing and External Cueing on Power Output in Bench Press Throw in Resistance-Trained Men
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The aims of this study were to compare power output during a bench press throw (BPT) executed with (BPTbounce) and without (BPT) the barbell bounce technique, and examine the effect of cueing different barbell descent ... -
Acute Effects of Elastic Bands as Resistance or Assistance on EMG, Kinetics, and Kinematics During Deadlift in Resistance-Trained Men
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The aim of the study was to compare neuromuscular activation, kinetics and kinematics in three variations of the deadlift: (1) free weights, (2) free weights with elastic bands as resistance (bands anchored to the ground) ... -
Adolescent determinants of life-course leisure-time vigorous physical activity trajectories: a 27-Year longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Abstract Background Adolescence is regarded as formative years for building the foundations for life-long health and well-being, and adolescent determinants of physical activity (PA) development is particularly interesting. ... -
Adolescent wine consumption is inversely associated with long-term weight gain: Results from follow-up of 20 or 22 years
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Several studies have suggested a link between the type of alcoholic beverage consumption and body weight. However, results from longitudinal studies have been inconsistent, and the association between adolescent ... -
Adolescents' physical activity is associated with previous and current physical activity practice by their parents
