• Barn og fysisk aktivitet i barnehagen: Hvordan kan aktivitetsnivået dokumenteres? 

      Stokke, Anne; Weydahl, Andi; Calogiuri, Giovanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Vi målte det fysiske aktivitetsnivået til 42 barn i løpet av en vanlig dag i barnehagen ved hjelp av ulike instrumenter. Denne studien vil gi kunnskap om barns fysiske aktivitet i barnehagen, og om barnas aktivitetsnivå kan bli tilstrekkelig evaluert av lærerne eller om det er behov for tekniske målinger. Videre har vi sammenlignet de ulike instrumentene brukt i observasjonen. De ansatte i barnehagen ...

    • Biological rhythms, chronodisruption and chrono-enhancement: The role of physical activity as synchronizer in correcting steroids circadian rhythm in metabolic dysfunctions and cancer 

      Vitale, Jacopo Antonino; Lombardi, Giovanni; Weydahl, Andi; Banfi, Giuseppe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-28)
      Rhythms can be observed at all levels of the biologic integration in humans. The observation that a biological or physiological variable shows a circadian rhythm can be explained by several multifactorial systems including external (exogenous), internal (endogenous) and psychobiological (lifestyle) mechanisms. Our body clock can be synchronized with the environment by external factors, called ...
    • BONUS - Eldres erfaringer ved langvarig deltakelse i gruppetrening. En undersøkelse av en gruppe eldres helserelaterte livskvalitet og hvilke faktorer som var verdsatt ved deltakelse i gruppetrening

    • Chronotype and response to training during the polar night: a pilot study 

      Vitale, Jacopo Antonino; Bjørkesett, Eva; Campana, Andrea; Panizza, Giacomo; Weydahl, Andi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-19)
      Background:<br> An individual’s chronotype influences his or her physiological rhythms. Some studies have looked at the effect of time of day on the responses to exercise, but studies on the effect of long-term training are lacking. <br>Objective:<br> To report the effects of an 8-week training period during the polar night in non- athletes of different chronotypes living at 70°N. <br>Design:<br> ...
    • Chronotype, Physical Activity, and Sport Performance: A Systematic Review 

      Vitale, Jacopo Antonino; Weydahl, Andi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-11)
      Background:<br> Many variables related to sport have been shown to have circadian rhythms. Chronotype is the expression of circadian rhythmicity in an individual, and three categories of chronotype are defined: morning types (M-types), evening types (E-types), and neither types (N-types). M-types show earlier peaks of several psychophysiological variables during the day than E-types. The effect ...
    • Communicating public avalanche warnings – what works? 

      Engeset, Rune; Pfuhl, Gerit; Landrø, Markus; Mannberg, Andrea; Hetland, Audun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-20)
      Like many other mountainous countries, Norway has experienced a rapid increase in both recreational winter activities and fatalities in avalanche terrain during the past few decades: during the decade 2008–2017, 64 recreational avalanche fatalities were recorded in Norway. This is a 106% increase from that of the previous decade. In 2013, Norway therefore launched the National Avalanche Warning ...

      Sagelv, Edvard Hamnvik; Ekelund, Ulf; Stensrud, Trine (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-05-30)
      Conclusion: There is no effect of either breaking up sedentary behaviour each hour or performing 30 minutes of vigorous physical activity in one bout compared with prolonged sitting for six hours on glucose metabolism.
    • Comparison of Long and Short High-Intensity Interval Exercise Bouts on Running Performance, Physiological and Perceptual Responses 

      Valstad, Sverre; Heimburg, Erna von; Welde, Boye; van den Tillaar, Roland (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-18)
      This study compared the effects of long (4×4 min) and short intervals (4×8×20 s) of high-intensity interval exercise bouts (HIIT) on running performance, physiological and perceptual responses, and excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Twelve healthy college students (8 men, 4 women; mean age=22±2 years) performed long (90–95% of peak heart rate) and short intervals (maximal intensity) of ...
    • Comparison of non-invasive individual monitoring of the training and health of athletes with commercially available wearable technologies 

      Düking, Peter; Hotho, Andreas; Holmberg, Hans-Christer; Sperlich, Billy (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-09)
      Athletes adapt their training daily to optimize performance, as well as avoid fatigue, overtraining and other undesirable effects on their health. To optimize training load, each athlete must take his/her own personal objective and subjective characteristics into consideration and an increasing number of wearable technologies (wearables) provide convenient monitoring of various parameters. ...
    • Den norske idrettsmodellen - i utakt med tiden? 

      Rafoss, Kolbjørn; Tangen, Jan Ove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      I artikkelen drøftes spørsmålet om den norske idrettsmodellen er i utakt med tiden. Vi svarer ja på spørsmålet. Dette skyldes en utdatert måte å tenke idrett og politikk på. Det foreligger en kulturell fortelling – den norske idrettsmodellen – som hindrer innsikt i og forståelse for nye trender og endringer i befolkningens fysiske og idrettslige utfoldelse. Idrettsmodellen tar utgangspunkt i at ...
    • Developing a Linear Mixed Model to Predict RPE and sRPE in Female Elite Football Players Using External Load Measures 

      Vollstad, Jakob Kjos (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)
      Abstract Introduction: Despite the broad consensus on the importance of training load monitoring and management for footballers’ performance, existing research on female football players remains scarce. The present study aimed to develop and evaluate a linear mixed model (LMM) to predict the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and session RPE (sRPE) in female elite football players using GPS-derived ...

    • Effects of the menstrual cycle on sports-physiological performance in female team handball players 

      Kildalsen, Ingrid (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-06-06)
      <p>Objective: Team handball is a physically demanding sport. Research has not kept up with the increasing number of women participating in exercise and sports. The menstrual cycle (MC) is complex and should be included when conducting sport and exercise research on female athletes. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of three different phases of the menstrual ...
