  2. 1. Exercise physiology and cardiac function. Aspects on determinants of maximal oxygen uptake

    Author : Katarina Steding Ehrenborg; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; respiratory indices; peak oxygen uptake; heart failure; cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; exercise physiology;

    Abstract : Although the athlete's heart has been of interest for over 100 years, further characterization of the athletes heart is needed in order to understand how training affects cardiac dimensions and function. Few studies have investigated the effects of training in female athletes and few have compared males and females. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical fitness; oxygen uptake; pregnancy; back pain; blood pressure; duration of gestation; relaxin; cycle ergometer test; physical exercise; perceived health;

    Abstract : Objectives To assess physical fitness in pregnancy and to evaluate its effect on perceived health, back pain, blood pressure and duration of gestation. Also, to evaluate the effect of serum relaxin levels on blood pressure and duration of gestation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cardiopulmonary Function in Healthy Individuals and in Patients After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

    Author : Margareta Genberg; Andrei Malinovschi; Eva Nylander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; echocardiography; cardiopulmonary execise testing; stress testing; onchology; childhood leukemia; healthy adults; breathing reserve; oxygen uptake; Clinical Physiology; Klinisk fysiologi;

    Abstract : Background: The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is the gold standard of clinical exercise tests, combining conventional stress testing with measurement of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production. In order to interpret CPET findings, adequate reference values are needed. Currently, no Swedish reference values exist. READ MORE

  6. 4. PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOMECHANICAL FACTORS DETERMINING CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING PERFORMANCE

    Author : Erik Andersson; Hans-Christer Holmberg; Glenn Björklund; Thomas Stöggl; Jos J. de Koning; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : cycle characteristics; energy cost; energy yield; incline; joint angles; kinematics; kinetics; mechanics; Nordic skiing; oxygen deficit; oxygen demand; technique transitions; total metabolic rate.;

    Abstract : Cross-country (c.c.) skiing is a complex sport discipline from both physiological and biomechanical perspectives, with varying course topographies that require different proportions of the involved sub-techniques to be utilised. A relatively new event in c. READ MORE

  7. 5. Physiological demands of competitive elite cross-country skiing

    Author : Magnus Carlsson; Michail Tonkonogi; Christer Malm; Eva Andersson; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Performance capability; maximal oxygen uptake; lactate threshold; lean mass; double poling; power output; maximal speed; sprint skiing; distance skiing.; Hälsa och välfärd; Health and Welfare;

    Abstract : Introduction Researchers have, for decades, contributed to an increased collective understanding of the physiological demands in cross-country skiing; however, almost all of these studies have used either non-elite subjects and/or performances that emulate cross-country skiing. To establish the physiological demands of cross-country skiing, it is important to relate the investigated physiological variables to the competitive performance of elite skiers. READ MORE
