Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap -Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background: Previous research indicates that there is a correlation between parents’ socioeconomic status and their children’s’ motor competence and physical activity. Furthermore, it is claimed that good motor competence correlate with children’s’ social, cognitive and physical development. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of motor competence in children from 1th to 10th grade, and if it correlated with parents’ educational level. Method: Participants were 55 students (5-16 years). Their motor competence was measured by the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder, while physical activity levels and p…

Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap- Universitetet i Agder 2014 Physical education (PE) in schools should contribute to sustained physical activity participation among students (udir.no). The content and teaching activities in PE classes can be a significant contribution to what students are left with the experiences of the subject. Based on theory and empirical research in within the realm of sport didactics, I have examined how learning activities - and teaching methods in PE can affect students' emotional and behavioral experiences. Moreover, I have examined the role of differential teacher's behavior in the psychological sense with respect to impact on both positive and negative emotional an…
Utvikling av fysisk form hos barn og unge over en 10 års periode : betydningen av deltakelse i fysisk aktivitet og foreldrestøtte
2014
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap -Universitetet i Agder 2014 The aim of this master's project was to investigate changes in physical activity levels and relative physical fitness among Norwegian children over a period of 10 years. 55 six year old Norwegian children were tested using a comprehensive test battery from Fjørtoft et al (2011). A questionnaire that was used to answer research questions referred to physical activity and sport participation. The same tests and measurements were performed at 13 years (n = 45) and 16 years (n = 34), (i.e. seven and ten years later, respectively). Experienced parental support in terms of participation in physical activity was also measured. The sample w…
Frikjøreres atferd og egenskaper : en undersøkelse av relasjonen mellom risikotaking, sensation seeking og mental tøffhet på frikjørere
2014
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap- Universitetet i Agder 2014 The aim of this study was to determine freeskiers mental toughness, sensation seeking and risk taking behavior and if mental toughness or sensation seeking can predict a risk taking behavior. 37 athletes from The Norway Freeride Cup conducted the questionnaire. A correlation and regression analysis was used to examine the theses. The results showed that freeskiers are mentally tough, sensation seekers and risk takers. Sensation seeking proves to be a predictor for a risk taking behavior. Especially the scale “Boredom Susceptibility” (SS-BS) showed a high correlation to risk taking behavior. Mental toughness could not predict a risk …
Lidenskap for terrengsykling : en studie av relasjonen mellom dualistisk lidenskap, treningsavhengighet og tilfredshet med livet
2014
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap Universitetet i Agder , 2014 The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between passion (harmonious and obsessive) for mountain biking and satisfaction with life. In addition, the study examines the dualistic model of passion and its relationship with exercise dependence symptoms. Exercise dependence symptom’s effects on satisfaction with life were also investigated. A total of 990 riders who participated in Grenserittet or Farrisrunden completed the questionnaire. A correlation and regression analysis was used to examine the hypotheses. Results showed that the bike riders who reported a high degree of harmonious passion typically responded higher o…

Antioxidants and muscle growth in elderly : the effect of supplementation with vitamin C and E on muscle growth and maximal strength during 12 weeks …
2013
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2013 INTRODUCTION: Supplementation with antioxidants could either facilitate or hamper adaptations to resistance exercise due to redox-sensitive signaling pathways that regulate protein synthesis. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect supplementation with vitamin C and E on muscle growth and maximal strength during 12 weeks of resistance exercise in elderly men. METHODS: Thirty-four elderly males (60 – 81 years) were randomized to either an antioxidant group (N=17; 1000 mg of vitamin C and 235 mg of vitamin E per day) or a placebo group (N=17). Muscle growth was assessed as changes in lean mass with dual-ene…
GAKIC og kreatin-supplement ved gjentatte sprintløp
2015
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap- Universitetet i Agder 2015 Studiens formål var å undersøke om Glycin-Arginin-alpha ketoisocaproisk syre (GAKIC) har tilsvarende prestasjonsfremmende effekt som kreatin på gjentatte maksimale sprintløp hos mannlige elitehåndballspillere. Disse to kosttilskuddene er ikke tidligere sammenliknet i publiserte studier, og denne studien kan sees på som en pilotstudie. For å undersøke ble studien Aaserud et al. (1998) reprodusert, med en ekstra intervensjonsgruppe. Dette fordi Aaserud et al. (1998) konkluderte med at kreatin utsetter muskulær trøtthet ved gjentatte sprintløp, og kan brukes ved sammenlikning. 32 forsøkspersoner ble rekruttert til et randomisert kontro…
Work economy following strength training in elderly : alterations in muscle strength, muscle thickness and lean mass upon work economy in elderly men…
2013
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2013 AIM: To investigate if alterations in muscle strength, muscle mass and muscle thickness were followed by changes in work economy. METHODS: Fifty elderly men (60 – 81 years) followed a 12 week undulating periodized strength training program: Lean mass (Muscle mass; Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), muscle strength (1RM; one repetition maximum, in leg press and leg extension), and muscle thickness (ultrasound; vastus lateralis and rectus femoris) were measured before and after the intervention. Work economy, determined as body mass adjusted oxygen consumption, were assessed while walking on a treadmill at 5 km/h at three different…
