Does exercise intensity matter for fatigue during (neo-)adjuvant cancer treatment? The Phys-Can randomized clinical trial
2021
Exercise during cancer treatment improves cancer-related fatigue (CRF), but the importance of exercise intensity for CRF is unclear. We compared the effects of high- vs low-to-moderate-intensity exercise with or without additional behavior change support (BCS) on CRF in patients undergoing (neo-)adjuvant cancer treatment. This was a multicenter, 2x2 factorial design randomized controlled trial (Clinical Trials NCT02473003) in Sweden. Participants recently diagnosed with breast (n = 457), prostate (n = 97) or colorectal (n = 23) cancer undergoing (neo-)adjuvant treatment were randomized to high intensity (n = 144), low-to-moderate intensity (n = 144), high intensity with BCS (n = 144) or low…
The psychophysiological influence of exertion and affect on sport-specific cognitive and physical performance
2022
Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to examine differences in cognitive and physical performance, affective states, perceived exertion, and physiological responses between trials with cognitive, physical, or combined cognitive and physical load. Design: Randomised cross-over trial. Methods: Highly trained competitive orienteers (n = 15 men; n = 10 women) completed three randomised trials comprised of: (1) sport-specific cognitive tests; (2) 35-minute cycling time trial; and (3) combined sport-specific cognitive tests and 35-minute cycling time trial. Measures taken during the trials recorded affective states, perceived exertion, heart rate, blood lactate, cycling watts, as well…
"Finding my own motivation" - A Mixed Methods Study of Exercise and Behaviour Change Support During Oncological Treatment
2019
AbstractBackgroundExercising during oncological treatment is beneficial but challenging for persons with cancer and may require strategies to increase motivation. Behaviour change support, including specific behaviour change techniques (BCTs), have been used to facilitate exercise in persons undergoing oncological treatment, but more detailed knowledge from an individual perspective is needed to inform clinical practice. The aims were to explore the motivational experiences of exercise combined with behaviour change support, and to describe how specific BCTs were valued among persons exercising during oncological treatment.MethodsA mixed-methods study was conducted using semi-structured int…

Do adverse events after manual therapy for back and/or neck pain have an impact on the chance to recover? A cohort study.
2019
Background: Manual therapy is a commonly used treatment for patients with back and neck pain. Studies have shown that manual therapy-related adverse events are mainly short in duration and mild or moderate by their intensity, affecting up to 50% of the patients. If the presence of adverse events has an impact on the chance to recover from back/neck pain is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate if mild or moderate adverse events after manual therapy has an impact on the chance to recover from back/neck pain in men and women. Methods: A prospective cohort study of 771 patients with at least three treatment sessions in a randomized controlled trial performed in January 20…
Exercise Adherence and Effect of Self-Regulatory Behavior Change Techniques in Patients Undergoing Curative Cancer Treatment: Secondary Analysis from…
2020
Introduction: Adherence to exercise interventions in patients with cancer is often poorly described. Further, it is unclear if self-regulatory behavior change techniques (BCTs) can improve exercise adherence in cancer populations. We aimed to (1) describe exercise adherence in terms of frequency, intensity, time, type (FITT-principles) and dropouts, and (2) determine the effect of specific self-regulatory BCTs on exercise adherence in patients participating in an exercise intervention during curative cancer treatment. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis using data from a Swedish multicentre RCT. In a 2×2 factorial design, 577 participants recently diagnosed with curable breast, col…
Diet and diving behaviour of European Storm Petrels Hydrobates pelagicus in the Mediterranean (ssp. melitensis).
2011
Capsule Unlike Atlantic populations, which feed on krill, Mediterranean populations feed mainly on pelagic fish Gymnammodites cicerellus. Aims To determine the diet and dive depth of the Mediterranean subspecies of European Storm Petrels Hydrobates pelagicus melitensis. Methods Analysis of regurgitates of adults arriving at the colony for chick feeding and by determination of dives depth using the capillary tube method. Results The main prey is Gymnammodites cicerellus, a pelagic fish. Storm Petrels dive for their prey and can reach up to 5 m in depth. They also make short foraging trips just outside the colony where they capture Opossum Shrimps Misydacea. Conclusions European Storm Petrels…
Die Förderung der Mehrsprachigkeit und der Transkulturalität in der gymnasialen Oberstufe über ein internationales und fremdsprachiges Projekt : Fal…
2010
Tässä laadullisessa tapaustutkimuksessa tutkittiin 2008 kevään aikana suomalaisen Jyväskylän Normaalikoulun lukion ja saksalaisen Görres-Gymnasiumin (Koblenz) toteuttamaa kansainvälistä yhteistyöprojektia. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, kuinka osallistujien transkulturaalinen identiteetti kehittyy sekä toteutuuko monikielisyys tässä kansainvälisessä projektissa. Lisäksi haluttiin selvittää opettajien ja oppilaiden motivaatioita projektiin osallistumiseen sekä kieltenkäyttöä eri tilanteissa. Tutkimus toteutettiin vuonna 2007 projektiin osallistuneiden suomalaisten oppilaiden sekä vuonna 2008 mukana olevien suomalaisten ja saksalaisten opettajien ryhmähaastattelujen ja oppilaiden kyselylomakkeide…
Molecular composition and chemotaxonomic aspects of Eocene amber from the Ameki Formation, Nigeria
2012
The molecular composition of fossil resin from the Eocene Ameki Formation, southern Nigeria has been analyzed by infrared spectroscopy, pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and thermochemolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to determine the structural class and botanical source of the resin. The pyrolysis products were dominated by bicyclic products derived from regular labdatriene structure and lacked succinic acid indicating Class Ib type amber. The biomarker compositions in the pyrolysates are dominated by sesquiterpenoids of the cadinane and bisabolane classes that are common constituents of higher plants and labdane type diterpenoids. The exclusive presence of labdane …
Muskeldysmorfi hos menn med medlemskap på treningssenter : En undersøkelse av utbredelse og potensielle korrelater
2019
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap ME517 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to examine the prevalence of muscle dysmorphia in a sample of men aged 16-40 years old with a Norwegian gym membership. In addition, the purpose was to investigate the relationship between muscle dysmorphia and age, body mass index, strength training duration, eating concern, percentage of protein intake, intake of protein supplements, intake of creatine supplements and training day/rest day. Method: A total of 1320 men recruited from physical attendance at gyms (n = 312), and through social media (n= 1008), participated in the study. The study was conducted by using a quantitativ…
