      <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 ...
    • Five years of exercise intervention at different intensities and development of white matter hyperintensities in community dwelling older adults, a Generation 100 sub-study 

      Arild, Anette; Vangberg, Torgil Riise; Nikkels, Hanne; Lydersen, Stian; Wisløff, Ulrik; Stensvold, Dorthe; Håberg, Asta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-18)
      We investigated if a five-year supervised exercise intervention with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus control; physical activity according to national guidelines, attenuated the growth of white matter hyperintensities (WMH). We hypothesized that supervised exercise, in particular HIIT, reduced WMH growth. Older adults from the general ...
