Deep Learning for Classifying Physical Activities from Accelerometer Data
2021
Physical inactivity increases the risk of many adverse health conditions, including the world’s major non-communicable diseases, such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and breast and colon cancers, shortening life expectancy. There are minimal medical care and personal trainers’ methods to monitor a patient’s actual physical activity types. To improve activity monitoring, we propose an artificial-intelligence-based approach to classify the physical movement activity patterns. In more detail, we employ two deep learning (DL) methods, namely a deep feed-forward neural network (DNN) and a deep recurrent neural network (RNN) for this purpose. We evaluate the proposed models on two phy…

Physical activity is an important stimulus for asthma symptoms. Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction is traditionally used when physical activity is the cause of asthma symptoms, but this is measured after exercise.

Stress in School. Some Empirical Hints on the Circadian Cortisol Rhythm of Children in Outdoor and Indoor Classes
2017
This prospective longitudinal survey compared the stress levels of students taught using an outdoor curriculum in a forest, with children in a normal school setting. We were especially interested in the effect outdoor teaching might have on the children’s normal diurnal cortisol rhythm. 48 children (mean age = 11.23; standard deviation (SD) = 0.46) were enrolled, with 37 in the intervention group (IG), and 11 in the control group (CG). The intervention consisted of one full school day per week in the forest over the school year. Stress levels were measured in cortisol with three samples of saliva per day. Furthermore, the data allowed for statistical control of physical activity (PA) values…
"I naturen kommer jeg liksom på plass i meg selv" : sansende nærvær i naturopplevelser som helsefremmende kontekst i psykisk helsearbeid
2013
Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid ME-504 2013 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Bakgrunn: Hovedtyngden av forskningen på sammenheng mellom psykisk helse og naturopplevelser dokumenterer betydningen av fysisk aktivitet i friluftsliv, men antyder at det er noe mer, og foreslår det meditative elementet i naturopplevelser som mulig virksom faktor i forhold til psykisk helse. Hensikt og problemstilling: Hensikten i denne studien er å utvikle beskrivelser av det meditative elementet i naturopplevelser, av hvilke kvaliteter i naturmøtet som oppleves som noe særegent i kraft av at det gjør noe med oss, og å drøfte hvordan dette kan forstås i et helsefremmende perspektiv. Problemstillingen: Hvorda…
Associations between changes in physical fitness and psychological difficulties status among Norwegian adolescents
2021
Abstract Objectives To investigate the associations for one-year changes in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and body mass index, with psychological difficulties status in adolescents. Methods Norwegian 14-15-year-olds (n = 925) participated in data collection at two time points separated by one year. Psychological difficulties were assessed via the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire and data from follow-up serve as the dependent variable. Cardiorespiratory fitness (the Andersen-test), muscular strength (Eurofit) and body mass index were measured. Change scores were calculated from the physical fitness variables and serve as independent variables in linear mixed effects mo…
