Vertikal og horisontal samhandling som tilnærming i folkehelsearbeidet : En kvalitativ casestudie av Røde Kors satsingen «FUN 365»
2017
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap ME516 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Background and purpose: The theme of this study is collaboration as an approach in public health. The study focuses on the experience of actors from various sectors and government levels involved in a collaboration regarding complex public health issues such as child poverty. Method: The study is based on a qualitative design where a case study is used as a strategy of research. The empirical basis is FUN 365, a measure initiated by the Red Cross. FUN 365 is a child and family camp concept aimed at children and families affected by child poverty. The method used for collecting data is mainly qualitative research interview,…

2019
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap ME517 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Background: Muscle strengthand poweris a determining feature of performance in many different sports and thephysiologicalfactors that affect muscle functionare many. Previous studies have mostly concernedadult athletes, while researchfeaturing young elite athletes or differences between sports have been scarce. Purpose: The study’s purposeis to investigate possibleconnectionsbetween physiological factors such as resting metabolic rate, protein intake, and fat-free mass and muscle functionamong young elite athletes in southern Norway.Differences between sport-groupswere alsoinvestigated. Method: A total of 36young elite athlet…
The Talk Test and nasal breathing when running below and above the first lactate turnpoint
2021
Master's thesis in Sports science (ME517) Objective: The use of lactate and heart rate as intensity control tools may be expensive for certain populations and may lead athletes to be excessively ‘numbers fixated’. The aim of this study was to investigate if the Talk Test and/or a mouth closed ‘nose breathing’ test could serve as an effective intensity control tool and differentiate between running below and above the first lactate turn point. Conclusion: At the group level, both MCT and TT responses demarcate statistically significant and practically meaningful differences in physiological intensity and perceived exertion. However, neither the MCT nor the TT consistently differentiate betwe…
Variation in exercise intensity during typical training drills in youth footballers measured via GPS tracking devices
2020
Master's thesis in Sports science (ME517) PURPOSE: The present study aims to investigate the between-athlete and within-athlete variation in intensity occurring during various small-sided games (SSG) formats to determine their relevance within soccer specific drills. METHODS:19 youth male football players (age:14.0 ±1.0 y, height: 1.6 ±7.4 m, body mass: 54.5 ±7.5 kg) were monitored during an 8-week period two times per week. The first two weeks consisted of a familiarization phase followed by 6 weeks of monitoring. Subjects performed a standardized warmup prior to completing various formats of SSG games (3 vs. 3 and 6 vs. 6). Each SSG were performed with a duration of 2 x 4 minutes interspe…
Effectiveness of traditional- vs individualized power training based on force-velocity profiling on maximal power, rate of force development, myoelec…
2020
Master's thesis in Sports science (ME517) INTRODUCTION. Muscle power is reported to be a good indicator of functional independency in elderly. Individualized power-training based on force-velocity (F-v) profiling has received increasing attention for optimizing muscle power development. The aim of this study is to investigate effectiveness of traditional- vs individualized power-training based on F-v profiling on maximal power(Pmax), rate of force development (RFD), myoelectric activity (EMG), and rate of myoelectric activity (RMA) in older men. METHOD. Forty-nine older men (67.7±5.3years) underwent physical testing before and after a 10-week training intervention. Subjects were randomized …
Sammenhengen mellom underliggende fysisk kapasitet og fysisk prestasjon på fotballbanen for toppfotballspillere
2021
Master's thesis in Sports science (ME517) For å være i stand til å opprettholde intensiteten og kvaliteten som kreves for å prestere godt i fotball gjennomenkamp og sesong, er det viktig med god fysisk kapasitet. De senere årene har det blitt observert at spillets intensitet har økt, og dermed også fysiske krav til spillere. Det er blant annet observert en økning i antall sprinter og høyintensitetsaksjoner under kamp uten at total distanse har økt nevneverdig, hvilket antyder at kravene til eksplosive ferdigheter har økt. Hensikten med denne observasjonsstudien var derfor å undersøke sammenhengen mellom underliggende fysisk kapasitet i sprint, spenst og beinstyrke, og fysisk prestasjon på f…
Tissue oxygen saturation during different blood flow restriction exercise protocols
2018
Master's thesis Sports Science ME517 - University of Agder 2018 Low load BFRRE induce more strength and hypertrophy than work-matched resistance exercise alone. Although the potential for hypertrophic adaptions seem to be comparable between high load conventional resistance exercise and low load BFRRE. Adaptions in hypertrophy following BFRRE seem to be greater with loads of 30% than 20%. There does not seem to be any relationship between the dose of low load BFRRE and the muscular adaption hypertrophy. There is lack of research of lower volumes, in terms of what is necessary for muscular adaptions. Hypertrophy is speculated to be more affected by frequency when exercising over shorter peri…

Er det en sammenheng mellom en kraft-hastighetsprofil målt i lab og en kraft-hastighetsprofil målt med GPS på fotballbanen?
2021
Master's thesis in Sports science (ME517) Introduksjon: God fysisk kapasitet er svært nødvendig for å kunne prestere og lykkes i fotball. Kapasiteten til fotballspillere er stadig i utvikling. Denne utkilingen harde siste årene økt kraftig. Hensikten med denne undersøkelsen er å finne sammenhengen mellom kraft-hastighetsprofilering fra lab og felt (GPS). Kan man slippe å måtte bruke mye penger og tid på testing i lab når man kan få samme resultat fra GPS data? Konklusjon: Funnene i denne studien baserte seg på spørsmålet om sammenhengen mellom prestasjon på GPS og labtesting viste signifikant sammenheng. Resultatet viser at det er flere variabler. Dette tyder på at det vil være mulig å kunn…
Unsteady physiology and perception during long “steady state” runs. What role do training characteristics play?
2021
Master's thesis in Sports science (ME517) PURPOSE: To contribute to a better understanding of low-intensity (<LT1) endurance training by quantifying and explaining the physiological mechanisms associated with cardiac drift and fatigue during low-intensity running and relate them to training characteristics. […] RESULTS: There was a significant drift for heart rate, oxygen consumption, ventilation, RER and RPE during both runs (P<0.05). There was no difference in drift between groups for any measurements, except for running economy during LR100. The drift was similar during LR90 and LR100 for all measurements except RER, which was significantly greater during LR90 (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The p…
