Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with drop out from sport in Norwegian adolescents
2020
Several studies indicate that participation in organized sport may result in higher physical activity levels among youth which are associated with high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness. However, no study has examined whether cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) is associated with drop out from sport. The study was a 5-year longitudinal study which followed a sample of adolescents, with measures of cardiorespiratory fitness, weight and height between the age of 14 and 19 yrs. Self-reported data about participation in sport, active commuting and physical activity level were also included. Through logistic regression analyses we found a positive association between cardiorespiratory fitness …
Forholdet mellom elevers motivasjon for kroppsøvingsfaget, motivasjonsklima og tilhørighet i kroppsøvingstimene, og deres intensjon om å være fysisk …
2021
Studiens hensikt var å undersøke forholdet mellom elevers tilhørighet i kroppsøvingstimene, deres opplevelse av motivasjonsklimaet i faget og deres intensjon om å være fysisk aktive etter endt obligatorisk skolegang, samt å undersøke i hvilken grad autonom og kontrollert motivasjon medierte det ovennevnte forholdet. Tverrsnittsdata fra 2610 avgangselever ved ungdoms- og videregående skoler fra fire forskjellige geografiske områder i Norge dannet grunnlaget for mediasjonsanalysen. Denne målte indirekte effekter ved hjelp av en bias-korrigert bootstrapping metode. Resultatene viste at opplevd tilhørighet og opplevd mestringsklima i faget var positivt assosiert med elevers intensjoner om å vær…

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) among Norwegian male athletes. Energy availability, health, and performance among male athletes at differ…
2021
Paper III is excluded from the dissertation until it will be published. Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a syndrome where low energy availability (LEA) has a negative impact on health [e.g., endocrine and metabolic alterations, reproductive dysfunction, impaired bone mineral density (BMD)] and performance. In females, the development and prevalence of RED-S have been well-investigated. However, research on males of all ages and performance levels is lacking. The overall aim of this dissertation was therefore to investigate RED-S among Norwegian male athletes at different age and performance levels. Three independent studies have been performed, and three original papers are in…
Transitioning to Platform-based Services and Business Models in a B2B Environment
2021
Given the considerable success of companies such as Apple, Amazon or Airbnb, the term platform is on everyone’s lips today. Accordingly, platforms have long since also found their way into service science. However, mastering the transition from established product-sales-based offerings to platform-based services and business models comes with a multitude of challenges. In a B2B context, incumbent companies need to carefully evaluate how they can benefit from the establishment of platforms, especially in light of the effects on their existing business models and ties to other actors. Hence, we invited scholars with different backgrounds to provide viewpoints on the opportunities and challeng…
Natur versus plast : en komparativ studie av naturgressbaner versus kunstgressbaner i norsk toppfotball
2014
Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Hovedformålet med denne studien er å sammenlikne økonomiske forhold tilknyttet natur- og kunstgressbaner i norsk toppfotball. Datagrunnlaget er basert på seks dybdeintervjuer fra fem aktuelle arenaer. Spørsmålsstillingene har omhandlet investerings-, drifts- og vedlikeholdskostnader, samt brukstid på arenaen og muligheten for ekstrainntekter. På bakgrunn av formålet ble to naturgressbaner og tre kunstgressbaner undersøkt. To av kunstgressbanene var spesielt interessante, da disse nylig har byttet fra naturgress. Studien avdekker at kunstgress er økonomisk mest fordelaktig til bruk i norsk toppfotball. Samtidig tydeliggjø…

2014
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap- Universitetet i Agder , 2014 Football is in its simplest form, a game where you have to kick a leather ball into a goal. By itself, it creates no values to society. The values football creates for society is through relationships the football club have to other parts of society. These relationships are looked upon in a system theoretical perspective. Through qualitative interviews with systems that have a structural link to the football club, it examined the relevance and foundation IK Start has in the rest of society. A system cannot, according to Luhmann (2000) maintain its existence without structural links to other systems in society. The system, which is…
