16. Muscle mitochondria in sepsis
Abstract : Patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) for sepsis induced multiple organ failure often suffer from skeletal muscle fatigue after ICU discharge. Since mitochondria are the main determinants of muscle fatigability, their function in muscle of these patients was the theme of this thesis. READ MORE

17. Intracellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle fatigue : role of creatine kinase
Abstract : During intense physical activity the maximal power output of skeletal muscles is reduced, a condition described as muscle fatigue. The cause of impaired muscle function seen in fatigue is multifactorial. READ MORE

18. The Fight on the Flights : Emergency evacuations – human physiological performance, leg muscle activity and gait biomechanics during exhaustive stair and slope ascent
Abstract : Physical exhaustion can constrain stair ascending capacity during emergency evacuation. The overall aim of this research was to explore and compare stair ascending capacities and physiological limitations when using two different modes: 1) self-preferred pace on three different public stairways, and 2) four machine-controlled paces on a stair machine corresponding to different percentages of maximal aerobic capacity (V̇O2max).

19. Cellular mechanisms of human muscle fatigue and disease-related loss of muscle function
Abstract : A loss of skeletal muscle function and mass is a hallmark of several diseases resulting in a dismal life quality and poor prognosis. Impaired intracellular Ca2+- handling has been proposed as an underlying cause of these manifestations. READ MORE

20. Physiology of Adventure Racing : with emphasis on circulatory response and cardiac fatigue
Abstract : The overall aims of this thesis were to elucidate the circulatory responses to ultra-endurance exercise (Adventure Racing), and furthermore, to contribute to the clarification of the so called “exercise-induced cardiac fatigue” in relation to said exercise. An Adventure race (AR) varies in duration from six hours to over six days, in which the participants have to navigate through a number of check-points over a pre-set course, using a combination of three or more endurance/outdoor sports, e.
