Long-distance dog sled races, e.g. Iditarod (Alaska) and Finnmarksløpet (Northern Norway), are extremely demanding sporting events that might expose mushers, handlers and a large number of organisers and volunteers to risks for their health. The purpose of this systematic literature review (PROSPERO registration n. CRD42017069136) was to identify and summarise all available scientific literature ...

Conclusion: There is no effect of either breaking up sedentary behaviour each hour or performing 30 minutes of vigorous physical activity in one bout compared with prolonged sitting for six hours on glucose metabolism.

Hensikt: Denne studien kartlegger hvilke transportmidler Altas befolkning bruker til reiser. Videre har det vært et mål å undersøke; hva som karakteriserer aktive og passive reisende i forhold til sosial bakgrunn, hvilket reisemønster vi finner blant aktiv reisende, hva som karakteriserer de ulike yrkesgruppenes transportvaner, og hvilke helseeffekter vi finner blant gruppen aktiv reisende.

I denne historiske studien har jeg undersøkt forsøket på å slå sammen Mo IL og IL Stålkameratenes fotballgrupper i perioden 1988-1998. I oppgaven fremstilles hendelsesforløpet utfra et struktur- og aktørperspektiv. Strukturene er tradisjonene, historien og identiteten som preget klubbene og som la rammene rundt prosessen. Aktørene er de personene som aktivt deltok i prosessen. Jeg har undersøkt ...

Denne undersøkelsen gir et dypdykk i fire utvalgte personers livsverdensbeskrivelser av naturopplevelse etter at de gikk turen Norge på langs i løpet av 2014-2016. Problemstillingen lød slik: Hvordan beskriver fire utvalgte personer som har gått Norge på langs de siste tre årene sine naturopplevelser etter denne turen? Naturopplevelse ble delt inn i opplevelser med naturen, opplevelser med det sosiale ...

The main purpose of this study was to explore how transparent nature guiding is understood and practiced by experienced nature guides. In the context of nature guiding; transparent guiding and transparent nature guiding is articulated, but little elaborated and theorised. Therefore, the goal is to add new knowledge and understanding on transparent nature guiding. In the theoretical framework, ...

The present study evaluated the effect of a smaller, lighter ball on kicking speed and technical- tactical and physical match performance in high-level adult female footballers. In the laboratory test setting, the peak ball velocity was 6 % higher with the new ball (NB) than the standard ball (SB) (26.5 ± 0.5 vs. 25.1 ± 0.5 m · s − 1, p < 0.05). However, during match-play, no differences ...

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a four-week intervention program on motor skill performance in primary school children. Twenty-one children with mean age of 6.5 ± 0.7 years participated. The experimental group (EG) followed a specific movement program in three basic tasks: throwing, climbing, and jumping. The control group (CG) carried out an ordinary physical education ...

This paper discusses psychomotor development in early childhood and consists of three parts. The first part is a brief historical overview of the theoretical description and analysis of movement. The second part gives an overview of the variety of movement therapies and activity methods, which are effective in kindergarten work. The third part of the paper is an attempt to analyse and to reflect on ...

To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the differences in adaptation of arm and leg muscles to sprint training, over a period of 11 days 16 untrained men performed six sessions of 4–6 × 30-s all-out sprints (SIT) with the legs and arms, separately, with a 1-h interval of recovery. Limb-specific VO2peak, sprint performance (two 30-s Wingate tests with 4-min recovery), muscle efficiency and ...
