• Blood Volume, Hemoglobin Mass, and Peak Oxygen Uptake in Older Adults: The Generation 100 Study 

      Lundgren, Kari Margrethe; Aspvik, Nils Petter; Langlo, Knut Asbjørn Rise; Braaten, Tonje Bjørndal; Wisløff, Ulrik; Stensvold, Dorthe; Karlsen, Trine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-01)
      <p>Purpose: To investigate the association between blood volume, hemoglobin mass (Hb<sub>mass</sub>), and peak oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2peak</sub>) in healthy older adults. <p>Methods: Fifty fit or unfit participants from the prospective randomized Generation 100 Study (<i>n</i> = 1,566) were included (age- and sex-specific VO<sub>2peak</sub> above or below average values). Blood, plasma, and erythrocyte ...
    • Effect of lower extremity functional electrical stimulation pulsed isometric contractions on arm cycling peak oxygen uptake in spinal cord injured individuals 

      Brurok, Berit; Tørhaug, Tom; Karlsen, Trine; Leivseth, Gunnar; Helgerud, Jan; Hoff, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-11)
      <p><i>Objective - </i>To compare peak oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2peak</sub>) between: (<i>i</i>) functional electrical stimulation lower extremity pulsed isometric muscle contractions combined with arm cycling (FES iso hybrid), (<i>ii</i>) functional electrical stimulation cycling combined with arm cycling (FES hybrid cycling), and (<i>iii</i>) arm cycling exercise (ACE) in individuals with spinal cord ...

      Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of ionic liquids (ILs) are investigated in this work. A hot disk method for ILs thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity measurement is utilized. Firstly, the thermal conductivity of water is measured to check the reliability of the hot disk method. In addition, the thermal conductivity of pure ILs, including BmimBF<sub>4</sub>, BmimPF<sub>6</sub>, ...
    • No Effect of Calanus Oil on Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Healthy Participants: A Randomized Controlled Study 

      Tauschek, Lucas Christian; Røsbjørgen, Ragnhild; Dalen, Håvard; Larsen, Terje; Karlsen, Trine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-08-23)
      We aimed to investigate the long-term effect of daily Calanus oil supplementation on maximal oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2</sub>max) in healthy 30- to 50-year-old participants. The study was motivated by preclinical studies reporting increased VO<sub>2</sub>max and metabolic health with omega-3 rich Calanus oil. In a double-blinded study, 71 participants were randomized to receive 2 g/day of Calanus or ...
