1. Physical loads and aspects of physical performance in middle-aged men and women
Abstract : This investigation aimed at a description of different aspects of physical loads during a 24 year follow-up (1970-1993) in 484 men and women born between 1935 and 1952, in relation to different aspects of physical performance, as measured at follow-up. The subjects were originally recruited in 1969 from the Stockholm county generalpopulation. READ MORE

2. The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Human Skeletal Muscle Adaptations to Resistance Exercise
Abstract : Aerobic exercise (AE) may interfere with muscle adaptations induced by resistance exercise (RE). Three experimental campaigns were conducted to explore the influence of AE on molecular, functional and muscular adaptations to acute and chronic RE. Twenty-nine men performed unilateral knee extensor RE preceded by AE (AE+RE). READ MORE

3. Mitochondrial function in human skeletal muscle: with special reference to exercise and training
Abstract : The overall objective of this thesis was to study the adaptation of oxidative function in human skeletal muscle to acute exercise of different modes, intensities and durations, and to endurance training. The effects of endurance training on mitochondrial function were evaluated in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies by measurements of mitochondrial oxygen consumption in isolated mitochondria and permeabilised muscle fibres and measurements of mitochondrial ATP production rate in isolated mitochondria.

4. The application of the Critical Power construct to endurance exercise
Abstract : Critical power (CP) is a theoretical construct reflecting the highest work rate that can be maintained by continuous aerobic energy resynthesis for an infinite period of time. In practice, however, the CP estimate derived from mathematical modelling usually leads to exhaustion within 1 h. READ MORE

5. Firefighters' physical work capacity
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to identify valid, simple, and inexpensive physical tests that can be used for evaluation of firefighters’ physical work capacity. Paper I included fulltime- and part-time firefighters (n = 193), aged 20-60 years. READ MORE
