    • Improved maximal strength is not associated with improvements in sprint time or jump height in high-level female football players: a clusterrendomized controlled trial 

      Pedersen, Sigurd; Heitmann, Kim Arne; Sagelv, Edvard Hamnvik; Johansen, Dag; Pettersen, Svein Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-17)
      <i>Background</i> - Maximal strength increments are reported to result in improvements in sprint speed and jump height in elite male football players. Although similar effects are expected in females, this is yet to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of maximal strength training on sprint speed and jump height in high-level female football players.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> ...

    • Intra‐arterial blood pressure traits during and after heavy resistance exercise in healthy males 

      Heitmann, Kim Arne; Dalen, Håvard; Gundersen, Guri Holmen; Ingvaldsen, Rolf Petter; Welde, Boye (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-29)
      This randomized within‐subjects crossover‐designed study evaluated intra‐arterial blood pressure (BP) traits in seven healthy males (24 ± 1 years) during heavy resistance exercise (HRE) to failure (10 × 5 repetitions, 5RES) and not to failure (10 × 3 repetitions, 3RES), both at 5RM load. By combining few repetitions, avoidance of Valsalva maneuver, and restricting the duration of each contraction, ...

    • Physical activity and the structure and function of the left side of the heart 

      Heitmann, Kim Arne (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-03-16)
      Current knowledge about the relationship between exercise and cardiac remodelling is mostly based on studies of athletes. Little is known about cardiac adaptations to moderate doses of exercise in the general adult and elderly population, and whether exercise-induced cardiac remodelling is a benign physiological adaption of exercise or part of a pathophysiological mechanism. The main objective of ...

    • Physiological Comparisons of Elite Male Visma Ski Classics and National Level Cross-Country Skiers During Uphill Treadmill Roller Skiing 

      Sagelv, Edvard Hamnvik; Engseth, Tina; Pedersen, Sigurd; Pettersen, Svein Arne; Mathisen, Gunnar; Heitmann, Kim Arne; Welde, Boye; Thomassen, Tor Oskar; Stoggl, Thomas Leonhard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-16)
      Longer distance cross-country ski (14–220 km) races such as the Visma Ski Classics (VSC) has recently gained attention in addition to the traditional Olympic distances (5–50 km) associated with cross-country (XC) skiing. These long-distance races are characterized by extensive use of the upper body while double poling (DP). While there is a substantial amount of research on Olympic distance XC skiing, ...
