The effect of a failure and submaximal blood flow restriction resistance exercise protocol on changes in muscle size, strength and swelling
2016
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Introduction: Blood flow restricted resistance exercise (BFRRE) can induce rapid increases in muscle size, strength and swelling. No previous research has investigated the importance of conducting BFRRE to voluntary failure and few studies has been carried out to investigate associations between swelling and muscle size. Therefore, the aim of the present study was twofold (1) compare changes in muscle size and strength between a failure (FA) and submaximal (SU) BFRRE protocol (2) investigate associations between swelling and muscle size. Methods: Seventeen untrained men had their legs randomized to FA and SU protocols. The interv…
Two-particle transverse momentum correlations in pp and p-Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
2023
Two-particle transverse momentum differential correlators, recently measured in Pb--Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), provide an additional tool to gain insights into particle production mechanisms and infer transport properties, such as the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, of the medium created in Pb-Pb collisions. The longitudinal long-range correlations and the large azimuthal anisotropy measured at low transverse momenta in small collision systems, namely pp and p-Pb, at LHC energies resemble manifestations of collective behaviour. This suggests that locally equilibrated matter may be produced in these small collision systems, simil…
Musculoskeletal disorders and disability among forest industry workers in lower and higher sickness absence groups: a case-control study
2019
Background: Musculoskeletal wellbeing and disorders and explanatory factors were investigated among forest industry employees. Methods: A new positive approach to maintenance of working ability focuses on being present at work. 140 individuals with low sickness absence (≤1.5% in hours during the past 6.5 years) and 140 controls with higher sickness absence (>1.5%), randomly selected from the source population (n = 636) in workplace clusters (n = 5), were studied. Questionnaire data on functioning, musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and disability, work ability and wellbeing were collected (response rate 65%) during December 2012–January 2013. 183 employees (mean age 48.5; females 32%) particip…

Veselīga dzīvesveida pārvaldības lietotne
2022
Kvalifikācijas darbā ir izstrādāta veselīga dzīvesveida pārvaldības sistēma tīmeklī, tā kā viņa ir veidota ar React palīdzību, ir iespējams lietot konkrēto lietotni pārlūkprogrammā. Līdz šim skatoties uz lielāko daļu sporta lietotņu ir saskatāma viena kopēja īpašība tā ir vienkāršības un vienotības trūkums. Ir ļoti daudz visvisādu programmu, kuras veic funkcijas līdzīgas kā darbā izstrādātā lietotne, bet lielākā daļa no tām veic tikai vienu funkciju, proti, dod iespēju veidot treniņu kompleksus, vai skaitīt uzkrātās kalorijas, kas padara procesu grūtāku, jo ir jālēkā no lietotnes uz lietotni, ir programmas, kuras piedāvā abus variantus, bet tie ir slēgti aiz samaksas sliekšņa. Konkrētā darb…
Tūrisma biznesa loma ekonomikā un attīstības iespējas Latvijā
2018
Tūrisma nozare pēdējos gados ir piedzīvojusi nozīmīgas pārmaiņas. Mainoties ekonomiskai situācijai pasaulē, tehnoloģiju attīstībai un informācijas pieejamībai, mainās tūristu ceļošanas paradumi un prasības. Līdz ar to nemitīgi jāmainās tūrisma nozarei kā produkcijas un pakalpojumu sniedzējai. Kā viena no Latvijas prioritātēm tiek izvirzīta tūrisma potenciāla izmantošana, kuru veiksmīgi attīstot iespējams palielināt tūrisma kā nozares devumu valsts ekonomikā, uzlabojot ekonomisko situāciju valstī, tādā veidā palielinot nodarbinātību un sabiedrības dzīvi kopumā. Darba mērķis ir veikt tūrisma biznesa nozīmības novērtējumu Latvijas ekonomikā un identificēt nozares ietekmējošos faktorus, izvirzī…
Prompt Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Industrial Polypropylene Sandwich Pipes
2021
A simple and prompt method to determine the mechanical properties of industrial multilayer extrusion polypropylene pipes for a gravity sewer network is suggested. The engineering formulas included for calculating the permissible thickness and relative position of a foam core in the pipes are based on a linear-elastic approximation and the rule of mixtures. The applicability of the approximation was justified experimentally during investigation of the effective tensile characteristics of single- and multilayer pipes and each layer specimen by using traditional tests and finite-element calculations. The results obtained were used to formulate engineering recommendations for calculations of th…

Football match attendance in Finland
2022
Football fans prefer to see their favourite team win in close matches. Compared to other forms of entertainment, the outcome of sport game is unknown beforehand. Opera audience knows the plot in advance, but in football the winner is revealed only after 90 minutes. The scientific literature of modern sport economics demand theory implies that successful leagues must be based on relatively even competition. This degree of parity within a league is labelled as competitive balance. Sport leagues usually claim that outcome uncertainty is necessary to maintain interest among fans. In this paper, uncertainty of outcome hypothesis is tested applying football data from the highest tier in Finnish m…
Sammenhengen mellom mestringsforventning, helserelatert livskvalitet og selvrapportert fysisk aktivitet blant elever i videregående skole
2016
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: Two different intervention models were developed to increase participation in physical education in high school, targeting “motion enjoyment” and “sport enjoyment”. Both models are intended to increase the pleasure of physical activity in physical education, as well as to contribute to the development of students’ skills, abilities and increase future commitment. The intention behind the motion enjoyment model is to reinforce positive experiences which are related to physical activity, along with raising the awareness in young people of the health benefits associated with physical activity. The sport enjoyment model …
