    • Et blikk på barns vikår for fysisk aktivitet i barnehager. En komparativ studie, 1981 og 2009 

      Stokke, Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-01-01)
      Forskning viser at det fysiske miljøet er en nøkkeldeterminant for barns fysiske aktivitetsnivå. I Rammeplan for barnehagens innhold og oppgaver står det: Barnehagen skal ha areal og utstyr nok, tilby gode oppvekstmiljø som er både trygge og utfordrende og som skal fremme læring og mestring (KD 2006). I denne artikkelen presenteres resultater fra en landsrepresentativ kvantitativ spørreundersøkelse ...

      Thomassen, Tor Oskar (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2012)
    • Et blikk på barns vilkår for fysisk aktivitet inne i barnehager : en komparativ studie, 1981 og 2009 

      Stokke, Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-01-01)
      Det fysiske miljøet har betydning for barns lek og læring og det er viktig for kvaliteten i barnehagers virksomhet. Hvilke innemiljø tilbys barna, hvor mye tid får barna til lek inne og hvilke restriksjoner finnes knyttet til fysisk aktiv lek? Artikkelen vil især fokusere på kroppslig lek og endringer over tid. Derfor vil resultatene fra en landsrepresentativ kvantitativ spørreundersøkelse i norske ...
    • Hva gjøres for å fremme fysisk aktivitet i barnehager? En komparativ studie av førskolelæreres virksomhet i 1981 og 2009 

      Stokke, Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-01)
      Artikkelen viser empiri fra to like spørreskjemaundersøkelser, fra 1981 og 2009, der førskolelærerne selv skriver hva de gjør av virksomhet for å fremme fysisk aktivitet. Sammenlignes resultatene, viser det at det gjøres mer i dag for å fremme fysisk aktivitet enn i 1981. ”Å fornye det fysiske miljøet” var det eneste tiltaket det var gjort mindre av. En forklaring kan være mer naturmiljø i barnehagene ...

    • Barn og fysisk aktivitet i barnehagen: Hvordan kan aktivitetsnivået dokumenteres? 

      Stokke, Anne; Weydahl, Andi; Calogiuri, Giovanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Vi målte det fysiske aktivitetsnivået til 42 barn i løpet av en vanlig dag i barnehagen ved hjelp av ulike instrumenter. Denne studien vil gi kunnskap om barns fysiske aktivitet i barnehagen, og om barnas aktivitetsnivå kan bli tilstrekkelig evaluert av lærerne eller om det er behov for tekniske målinger. Videre har vi sammenlignet de ulike instrumentene brukt i observasjonen. De ansatte i barnehagen ...

    • Aerobic Games and Playful Exercises in 9-Year-Old Boys: Intensity and Fitness Effects 

      Mathisen, Gunnar; Jensen, Rein Magnus; Pettersen, Svein Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Previous research on exercise for pre-adolescents with the purpose of improving aerobic fitness levels has yielded contradictory results. Sufficient training intensity, frequency and duration are the crucial factors in achieving this goal; the question, however, is whether it is possible to reach sufficient intensity levels using aerobic games and playful exercises. Variety and fun are the important ...
    • Comparison of non-invasive individual monitoring of the training and health of athletes with commercially available wearable technologies 

      Düking, Peter; Hotho, Andreas; Holmberg, Hans-Christer; Sperlich, Billy (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-09)
      Athletes adapt their training daily to optimize performance, as well as avoid fatigue, overtraining and other undesirable effects on their health. To optimize training load, each athlete must take his/her own personal objective and subjective characteristics into consideration and an increasing number of wearable technologies (wearables) provide convenient monitoring of various parameters. ...

    • Motor competence and implications in primary school 

      Mathisen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-25)
      The level of motor competence for six-year-old children are of special interest because at this age they have started at school, and they have to master new requirements. Ninety-four children were tested in fine- and gross- motor skills, by the Movement ABC test. Within the fifth percentile of the USA norms, 9.6 % of the children would have to be classified as to have motor problems, with 11.7% ...
    • A comparison between two different conditions of breaking up sedentary behaviour on glucose metabolism 

      Sagelv, Edvard Hamnvik; Ekelund, Ulf; Stensrud, Trine (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-05-30)
      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.
    • Kicking velocity and effect on match performance when using a smaller, lighter ball in women's football 

      Andersen, Thomas Bull; Krustrup, Peter; Bendiksen, Mads; Ørntoft, Christina; Randers, Morten B.; Pettersen, Svein Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-23)
      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 ...

    • TRAINING EFFCT DURING THE MIDNIGHTSUN PERIOD IN DIFFERENT CHRONOTYPES 

      Weydahl, Andi (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)
      Our research takes place at 70oN. Where the sun is above the horizon for 8 weeks during summer, midnight sun and below the horizon for 8 weeks during winter, polar night. Earlier we found that adults with different chronotypes responded differently to exercise performed in day-light or darkness1. During the polar night evening (E) and neither (N) -types respond to training better than morning (M) ...
    • Den norske idrettsmodellen - i utakt med tiden? 

      Rafoss, Kolbjørn; Tangen, Jan Ove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      I artikkelen drøftes spørsmålet om den norske idrettsmodellen er i utakt med tiden. Vi svarer ja på spørsmålet. Dette skyldes en utdatert måte å tenke idrett og politikk på. Det foreligger en kulturell fortelling – den norske idrettsmodellen – som hindrer innsikt i og forståelse for nye trender og endringer i befolkningens fysiske og idrettslige utfoldelse. Idrettsmodellen tar utgangspunkt i at ...
