  2. 1. Omics Techniques Applied to Diabetes Research - Focus on HSL-Null Mice and Clonal β-Cells

    Author : Celine Fernandez; Molekylär endokrinologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; metabolomics; transcriptomics; treadmill; liver; HSL; cholesterol; proteomics;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels. For overt type 2 diabetes to develop, both insulin action and insulin secretion must be perturbed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Methods for analysis of 3D movement of the trunk during treadmill locomotion

    Author : Virgil P Stokes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : human. trunk. Iocomotion. kinematics. 3D. treadmill Stockhtolm 1997;

    Abstract : Human locomotion is a common activity and although much progress has been made in the analysis and modeling of movement, we still have a rather limited understanding of the basic mechanisms of normal locomotion. A full understanding requires the integration of the underlying neural mechanisms with the 3D dynamics (kinetics + kinematics) of locomotion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interventions for increased physical activity among office workers

    Author : Viktoria Wahlström; Lisbeth Slunga-Järvholm; Tommy Olsson; Therese Stenlund; Fredrik Öhberg; Andreas Holtermann; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; sedentary behavior; office workers; office design; intervention; treadmill workstation; objective measurements; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : The positive association between physical activity (PA) and health is well established. Technical developments in modern life have created major changes in our societies and working life, and a growing body of research has identified sedentary behavior (SB) as an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer as well as for premature mortality.

  6. 4. Active workstations : a NEAT way to prevent and treat overweight and obesity?

    Author : Frida Bergman; Tommy Olsson; Ann Sörlin; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Patrik Wennberg; Fredrik Öhberg; Mats Börjesson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; treadmill workstations; sedentary behaviour; light-intensity physical activity; non-exercise activity thermogenesis; office workers; obesity;

    Abstract : Background: Modern society is triggering sedentary behaviours in different domains. Different strategies can be used to reduce the time spent sitting and increase physical activity in the office environment, which is one domain where sedentary time is often high. One such strategy could be to install treadmill workstations. READ MORE

  7. 5. On self-efficacy and balance after stroke

    Author : Karin Hellström; Jan Lexell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Cerebrovascular disorders; rehabilitation; physiotherapy; balance; self-efficacy; treadmill walking; activities of daily living; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Rehabilitation Medicine; rehabiliteringsmedicin;

    Abstract : The general aim of this work was to evaluate the outcome of specialised stroke rehabilitation and to examine the relation between both subjectively perceived and objectively assessed balance and impairments and some activity limitations. A further, integrated aim was to establish some psychometric properties and the usability of a newly developed Falls-Efficacy Scale, Swedish version (FES(S)) in stroke rehabilitation. READ MORE
