Exercise and inflammation with special reference to resistance training

2018

The aim of the present dissertation was to examine the acute and chronic effects of resistance exercise on inflammation markers in young men. In addition, the effect of combined resistance and endurance training on inflammation was assessed. The present dissertation consisted of four studies. Acute inflammation response was evaluated using cross-sectional design after hypertrophic and maximal (n=12) resistance exercise bouts (I). In addition, acute inflammation was examined before and after resistance training (RT) consisting either hypertrophic or maximal explosive (n=8) resistance exercise bouts (RE) (II). The effect of RT on basal levels of markers of systemic inflammation was evaluated …

Association of accelerometer‐measured physical activity and midlife income : A Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study

2023

This study investigated the association between physical activity (PA) and midlife income. The population-based data comprised employed members of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (N = 2797). Using binned scatterplots and polynomial regressions, we evaluated the association between accelerometer-measured moderate PA (MPA), vigorous PA (VPA), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) at 46 years old and register-based income at 50 years old. The models were adjusted for sex, marital status, number of children, education, adolescent PA, occupational physical strenuousness, and time preference. We found MPA (p < 0.001), VPA (p < 0.05), and MVPA (p < 0.001) to associate curvilinearly with income…

Heijastuuko haitallinen terveyskäyttäytyminen tuloihin?

2017

Tässä pro gradu –tutkielmassa haluttiin selvittää, havaitaanko yksilöiden tulotasossa poikkeamia, jos heillä on yksi tai kaksi haitallisen terveyskäyttäytymisen muotoa verrattuna yksilöihin, joilla näitä ei ole. Empiirisessä analyysissä hyödynnettiin kansainvälisen International Social Survey Programme –vertailututkimusohjelman (ISSP) Suomen osa-aineistoa vuodelta 2011. Tarkastelun kohteena oli työikäinen aikuisväestö (n = 904), ja haitallisesta terveyskäyttäytymisestä mielenkiinnon kohteena oli runsas alkoholin kulutus, päivittäinen tupakointi, lihavuus sekä fyysinen passiivisuus. Sekä tulotaso (keskimääräiset kuukausibruttotulot kaikki ansio- ja pääomatulot sekä sosiaalietuudet mukaan lue…

Activated Carbon Production from Peat Using ZnCl2 : Characterization and Applications

2017

The process for producing activated carbon from peat was optimized. The peat was impregnated with different ratios of ZnCl2, and the impregnated biomass was activated at different temperatures. The specific surface area, pore size distribution, total carbon content, and yield of the activated carbon were investigated. The best results for the specific surface area and mesoporosity of the activated peat were obtained by using a high impregnation ratio (2) and high activation temperature (1073 K). Highly porous activated carbon was produced that had a specific surface area of approximately 1000 m2/g and total pore volume that was higher than 0.5 cm3/g for most samples. The activated carbon ha…

Leisure-time physical activity and DNA methylation age : a twin study

2019

Background: Epigenetic clocks may increase our understanding on human aging and how genetic and environmental factors regulate an individual aging process. One of the most promising clocks is Horvath’s DNA methylation (DNAm) age. Age acceleration, i.e., discrepancy between DNAm age and chronological age, tells us whether the person is biologically young or old compared to his/her chronological age. Several environmental and lifestyle factors have been shown to affect life span. We investigated genetic and environmental predictors of DNAm age in young and older monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins with a focus on leisure time physical activity. Results: Quantitative genetic modeling rev…

Samband mellan kronisk smärta och fysisk aktivitet bland äldre personer med typ 2-diabetes

2018

Forskningens bakgrund och syfte: Fysisk aktivitet är en central del i vården av typ 2-diabetes. Trots påvisade positiva effekter av regelbunden fysisk aktivitet verkar en liten andel diabetiker vara fysiskt aktiva. Smärta har i tidigare studier identifierats som ett hinder till fysisk aktivitet bland diabetiker och man har kunnat se samband mellan kronisk smärta och svårigheter att utföra fysisk aktivitet. Det finns dock endast ett fåtal studier som undersöker detta samband. Syftet med denna avhandling var att kartlägga förekomsten av kronisk smärta bland äldre personer med typ 2-diabetes och att undersöka sambandet mellan kronisk smärta och fysisk aktivitet. Forskningsmaterial och –metoder…
