      Non-curricular time spent in school context might provide a potential opportunity to promote physical activity (PA) and enhance children’s health. This study examined the effects of a structured recess intervention over 12 weeks on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), PA daily levels and anthropometric characteristics, in 2nd and 3rd grade school children. This non-randomized controlled study included ...

    • Flywheel squats versus free weight high load squats for improving high velocity movements in football. A randomized controlled trial 

      Sagelv, Edvard Hamnvik; Pedersen, Sigurd; Nilsen, Lars Petter R.; Casolo, Andrea; Welde, Boye; Randers, Morten B.; Pettersen, Svein Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-02)
      <i>Background</i> - High load (HL: > 85% of one repetition maximum (1RM)) squats with maximal intended velocity contractions (MIVC) combined with football sessions can be considered a relevant and time-efficient practice for maintaining and improving high velocity movements in football. Flywheel (FW) resistance exercise (RE) have recently emerged with promising results on physical parameters associated ...
