Aerobic fitness thresholds to define poor cardiometabolic health in children and youth
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Aerobic fitness is an apparent candidate for screening children and youth for poor cardiometabolic health and future risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Yet, age‐ and sex‐specific cut points for children and youth ... -
Associations between biological maturity level, match locomotion, and physical capacities in youth male soccer players
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction: Biological maturity level has shown to affect sport performance in youths. However, most previous studies have used noninvasive methods to estimate maturity level. Thus, the main aim of the present study was ... -
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 ... -
Conundrums in the breathless athlete; exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction or asthma?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) are the two disorders commonly considered when athletes complain of exertional dyspnea. They are highly different but ... -
Effects of 9 Weeks of High- or Moderate-Intensity Training on Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Inhibitory Control, and Plasma Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Danish Adolescents—A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Purpose The primary aims of this study were to examine the effects of 9 weeks of aerobic training, comprising three 30-min sessions per week, on V̇O2max, inhibitory control, and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor ... -
Longitudinal changes in maximal oxygen uptake in adolescent girls and boys with different training backgrounds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of high-volume endurance training on the development of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in physically active boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 15 years, using ... -
Physical activity spectrum discriminant analysis—A method to compare detailed patterns between groups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Investigating physical activity (PA) patterns as a detailed intensity spectrum instead of crude intensity categories have improved the ability to analyze the relationship between measured PA and health variables. The aim ... -
Physical capacity, not skeletal maturity, distinguishes competitive levels in male Norwegian U14 players
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The main aim of the present study was to compare skeletal maturity level and physi-cal capacities between male Norwegian soccer players playing at elite, sub-elite and non-elite level. Secondary, we aimed to investigate ... -
Re-examination of accelerometer data processing and calibration for the assessment of physical activity intensity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This review re‐examines the use of accelerometer and oxygen uptake data for the assessment of activity intensity. Accelerometers capture mechanical work, while oxygen uptake captures the energy cost of this work. Frequency ... -
Reference values for and cross-validation of time to exhaustion on a modified Balke protocol in Norwegian men and women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The aims of the present study were to provide reference values for time to exhaustion (TTE) on a modified Balke treadmill protocol, and to perform a cross‐validation of TTE as a measure of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), ... -
The Andersen aerobic fitness test: New peak oxygen consumption prediction equations in 10 and 16-year olds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Measurement of aerobic fitness by determining peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) is often not feasible in children and adolescents, thus field tests such as the Andersen test are required in many settings, for example in ... -
Validation of SenseWear Armband in children, adolescents, and adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)SenseWear Armband (SW) is a multisensor monitor to assess physical activity and energy expenditure. Its prediction algorithms have been updated periodically. The aim was to validate SW in children, adolescents, and adults. ...
