    • Digital exercise interventions for improving measures of central obesity: a systematic review 

      Ballin, Marcel; Hult, Andreas; Björk, Sabine; Dinsmore, John; Nordström, Peter; Nordström, Anna Hava (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-14)
      <i>Objectives</i> - We aimed to systematically review the potential benefits of digital exercise interventions for improving measures of central obesity including visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and anthropometric surrogates for VAT in overweight or centrally obese adults aged 18 or over.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - A systematic literature search was conducted in three databases up until March 2020 ...

    • Feasibility of an Online Delivered, Home-Based Resistance Training Program for Older Adults – A Mixed Methods Approach 

      Vikberg, Sanna; Björk, Sabine; Nordström, Anna Hava; Nordström, Peter; Hult, Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-03)
      Background: Physical inactivity and low muscle mass are risk factors for falls, fractures and overall poor health. However, physical activity is reduced with increased age and only a fraction of older adults engages in resistance training (RT). Thus, strategies that facilitate RT among older adults are needed. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness and user experience, ...

    • A multiple risk factor program is associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease in 70-year-olds: A cohort study from Sweden 

      Nordström, Anna; Bergman, Jonathan; Björk, Sabine; Carlberg, Bo; Johansson, Jonas; Hult, Andreas; Nordström, Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-11)
      <i>Background</i> - In individuals below 65 years of age, primary prevention programs have not been successful in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. However, no large study to our knowledge has previously evaluated the effects of prevention programs in individuals aged 65 years or older. The present cohort study evaluated the risk of CVD in a primary prevention program for ...

    • Web-based exercise versus supervised exercise for decreasing visceral adipose tissue in older adults with central obesity: A randomized controlled trial 

      Ballin, Marcel; Hult, Andreas; Björk, Sabine; Lundberg, Emmy; Nordström, Peter; Nordström, Anna Hava (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-12)
      <i>Background</i> - Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease and increases with age. While supervised exercise (SE) may be an effective approach, web-based exercise (WE) have other advantages such as being more readily accessible. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of WE on VAT, body composition and cardiometabolic risk markers in centrally obese older adults ...
