Digital exercise interventions for improving measures of central obesity: a systematic review
(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 ... -
Effects of interval training on quality of life and cardiometabolic risk markers in older adults: a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-04)<i>Purpose</i>: To explore the effects of 10 weeks of progressive vigorous interval training as a single intervention on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cardiometabolic risk markers in centrally obese 70-year-old individuals.<p><p> <i>Participants and methods</i>: A randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov registration no. NCT03450655) including seventy-seven community-dwelling ... -
Effects of Resistance Training on Functional Strength and Muscle Mass in 70-Year-Old Individuals With Pre-sarcopenia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-07)Objective: Sarcopenia has been defined as age-related loss of muscle mass and function. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the effects of a 10-week instructor-led resistance training program on functional strength and body composition in men and women aged 70 years with presarcopenia. Design, Setting, and Participants: Participants were randomized to either 10 weeks of a ... -

Feasibility of an Online Delivered, Home-Based Resistance Training Program for Older Adults – A Mixed Methods Approach
(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
(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 ... -
Self-reported protein intake and properties of bone in community-dwelling older individuals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-31)Summary This study revealed that a quick and simple estimation of protein intake was related to measures of bone density and area in 70-year-old individuals. Furthermore, these associations were mediated by muscle mass when investigating peripheral measurement sites such as arms and legs.<p> <p>Purpose Recent evidence suggests that dietary protein is beneficial for bone health in older individuals, ... -
Short-term balance training and acute effects on postural sway in balance-deficient older adults: a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-09)<p>Background: We aimed to determine the effectiveness of 4 weeks of balance exercise compared with no intervention on objectively measured postural sway. <p>Methods: This was a single-center parallel randomized controlled, open label, trial. A six-sided dice was used for allocation at a 1:1-ratio between exercise and control. The trial was performed at a university hospital clinic in Sweden and ... -

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