    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; altitude training; athlete monitoring; athlete testing; biathlon; endurance exercise; epidemiology; illness; injury; metabolic profiling; metabolomics; Nordic skiing; performance development; winter sports; epidemiologi; fysiologiska tester; höghöjdträning; längdåkning; metabolisk profilering; metabolomics; monitorering; prestationsutveckling; sjukdom; skador; skidskytte; uthållighetsträning; vintersport;

    Abstract : Competitive cross-country (XC) ski athletes (defined hereafter as XC skiers and biathletes combined) are vulnerable to developing various health-related symptoms and conditions due to several factors, such as high physiological and psychological demands, extreme competition and training environments, high training loads, demanding competition schedules, and frequent travel. On initiating this work, we (the author and supervisory team) were approached by the Swedish Ski Association (SSF) and the Swedish Biathlon Federation (SSSF) to investigate the relationships between training, racing, and health problems, with a specific focus on illnesses (rather than injuries), and an ultimate goal of improving future support practices and athletic performance.

  4. 17. A multi-disciplinary approach to studying performance among high-level golfers : physiological and biomechanical aspects

    Author : James Parker; Charlotte M. Olsson; Toni Arndt; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Carry distance; clubhead speed; driver performance; golf kinematics; sports performance; strength training; isokinetic training;

    Abstract : In competitive golf, the player’s ability to hit the ball a long distance affects the score in a positive way. Swing kinematics is considered an important factor in driver performance; one way of improving swing kinematics is through strength and power training. READ MORE

    Abstract : Female soccer is becoming more popular and professional in the world. There are, however, limited scientific data available on how elite female players respond to physical stress during soccer games. An effective recovery strategy following a game is important, because there are few recovery days between the games in international tournaments. READ MORE

  7. 20. Performance and Flotation-REST in Tests of Marksmanship, Problem-solving and Perceived Exertion

    Author : Henrik Bergman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Flotation-REST; archery; performance; primary- and secondary process; creativity; originality; EMG;

    Abstract : This present thesis examines whether or not relaxation as floating may be exploited to reinforce primary process (inner-directed) orientation, and thereby enhance performance, creative problem-solving ability and originality. Two Articles are presented both using randomized factorial design. Article I include two subexperiments. READ MORE
