  2. 21. Physical activity and fitness among adolescents in Sweden with a 20-year trend perspective

    Author : Maria Westerståhl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Exercise; physical activity; sports; fitness; physical capacity; body weight; overweight; leisure-time; attitude; socio-economic; physical education; teenager; student; gender; time trend;

    Abstract : To prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes, it is important to avoid body fatness, to remain physically active and to maintain aerobic fitness. It is also important to maintain a certain level of muscular strength to be able to perform everyday tasks in adolescence and adulthood. READ MORE

  4. 22. Adolescent nutrition in rural Bangladesh : Studies on diet, cardiometabolic indicators, physical activity and fitness in the MINIMat cohort

    Author : Mohammad Redwanul Islam; Eva-Charlotte Ekström; Syed Moshfiqur Rahman; Lauren Lissner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dietary patterns; ultra-processed foods; rural adolescents; low- and middle-income countries; Bangladesh; cardiometabolic risk; accelerometry; fitness;

    Abstract : Adolescent nutrition is crucial for curbing non-communicable disease burden among transitioning populations in resource-limited settings. This thesis explored the gender and socio-economic stratification of diet, physical activity (PA) and fitness, and the relationship of these modifiable dimensions of nutrition with cardiometabolic risk among adolescents of a birth cohort in rural Bangladesh.

  5. 23. Electromyography and bite force studies of muscular function and dysfunction in masticatory muscles

    Author : Catharina Hagberg; []
    Keywords : Electromyography; bite force; contraction; isometric; masticatory muscles; mastication; intramuscular injections;

    Abstract : Electromyographic (EMG) activity versus bite force was studied during a gradually increased isometric contraction up to maximal effort for patients with painful masseter muscles and referents. The masseter muscle, the anterior temporal muscle and the descending part of the trapezius muscle were chosen for the recordings. READ MORE

  6. 24. Quantification of skeletal, muscular and kinematics parameters in scoliosis : methodological and clinical studies

    Author : Khaled Mohamed Diab; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Idiopathic scoliosis; new methods; scoliotic angle; vertebral body volume; intercostal muscle; ultrasonography; ground reaction force; centre of mass; centre of pressure; motor control;

    Abstract : This dissertation presents new methods derived for precise evaluation of a number of anatomical and functional variables of the complex thoracospinal deformity in scoliosis. By consensus the scoliotic angle at the frontal plane is measured on radiographs using the Cobb method. READ MORE

  7. 25. Game demands and fatigue profiles in elite football – an individual approach -Implications for training and recovery strategies

    Author : Dan Fransson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Soccer; match analysis; performance; muscle fatigue; small-sided games; training; high intensity excercise; muscular oxidative capacity;

    Abstract : The physical activities performed during a football game are of intermittent prolonged character, including explosive actions and running at different speeds. The prolonged intermittent activities are conjoined with periods where physical intensity is markedly increased. READ MORE
