    Abstract : Walking and cycling to work can contribute to population health, but more objective knowledge concerning exercise intensities, oxygen uptake and the metabolic demands of this physical activity is needed for this and other evaluations. To attain this, valid and reliable instruments are a requirement. READ MORE

  4. 2. Measurements for improvement of running capacity : physiological and biomechanical evaluations

    Author : Lennart Gullstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Running economy; treadmill; track running; measurement methods;

    Abstract : Introduction: Running is included in a large number of sports and one of the most well investigated modes of locomotion in both physiology and biomechanics. This thesis focuses on how some new methods from both areas may be used to capture running capacity in mid-distance and distance running from laboratory and field recordings. READ MORE
