Nuorten fyysistä aktiivisuutta mittaamassa : liikuntaluokkalaisten ja normaaliluokkalaisten vertailu Polar Active® -aktiivisuusmittareilla
2013
Haataja, J. & Sarajärvi, J. 2013. Nuorten fyysistä aktiivisuutta mittaamassa – Liikuntaluokkalaisten ja normaaliluokkalaisten vertailu Polar Active® -aktiivisuusmittareilla. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielma, 60s. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, minkälaista on yläkoulun liikuntaluokkalaisten fyysinen aktiivisuus. Tarkastelun kohteena oli aktiivisuuden kokonaismäärä ja aktiivisuuden määrä aktiivisuustasoittain. Lisäksi tavoitteena oli verrata fyysisen aktiivisuuden eroja liikuntaluokkien ja normaaliluokkien oppilaiden välillä. Tutkimme myös, liikkuivatko oppilaat liikuntasuosituksiin nähden riittävästi ja oliko fyysisessä aktiivisuudessa eroja sukupuolten sekä luokka-asteide…

Riddere på slakk line : Om pårørende, uhelbredelig kreft og komplementær og alternativ behandling
2014
Masteroppgave Universitetet i Agder, 2014 Fakultet for helse- og idrettsvitenskap Institutt for helse- og sykepleievitenskap Forskning viser at KAM-bruk er utbredt blant kreftpasienter, og pasienter med uhelbredelig kreft oppsøker i større grad KAM-behandlere. Pårørende er sentral i støtte og omsorg for pasienten, og opplever byrder og belastning i denne rollen. Hensikten med denne masteroppgaven har vært å bidra til økt kunnskap om pårørendes opplevelser, for videre kunne gi dem bedre støtte og hjelp. Problemstillingen i dette prosjektet lyder: Hvordan oppleves det å være pårørende til personer med uhelbredelig kreft som søker komplementær og alternativ behandling? Empiriske data er hentet…
Recovery from sauna bathing favorably modulates cardiac autonomic nervous system
2019
Objective: Sauna bathing is becoming a common activity in many countries and it has been linked to favorable health outcomes. However, there is limited data on the heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) responses to an acute sauna exposure. Design: We conducted a single-group, longitudinal study utilizing a pre-post design to examine acute effects of sauna bathing on the autonomic nervous system as reflected by HRV. A total of 93 participants (mean [SD] age: 52.0 [8.8] years, 53.8% males) with cardiovascular risk factors were exposed to a single sauna session (duration: 30 min; temperature: 73 °C; humidity: 10–20%) and data on HRV variables were collected before, during and after …
Norwegian version of the Nutritional Form for the Elderly: sufficient psychometric properties for performing institutional screening of elderly patie…
2009
The objective of this study was to test if the Norwegian version of the nutritional screening instrument entitled Nutritional Form for the Elderly (NUFFE-NO) demonstrates sufficient evidence of reliability and validity, including sensitivity and specificity, when applied to a select group of elderly hospital patients. The hypothesis was that NUFFE-NO has sufficient psychometric properties to be used as a screening instrument. The model used for the testing procedure was designed to test reliability (homogeneity and stability) and validity (criterion-related, concurrent validity, and construct validity) including sensitivity and specificity in a cross-sectional study. One-hundred fifty-eight…
Experiences of a non-clinical set of adolescents and young adults living with persistent pain:a qualitative metasynthesis
2021
PurposeAround 15%–30% of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) experience persistent or chronic pain. The purpose of this study was to synthesise evidence from qualitative primary studies on how AYAs in a non-clinical population experience living with persistent pain.MethodA qualitative metasynthesis guided by Sandelowski and Barroso’s guidelines was used. The databases Medline, Embase, Cinahl, PsycINFO, Mednar and ProQuest were searched for studies from 1 January 2005 to 15 February 2021. Inclusion criteria were AYAs aged 13–24 years with first-hand experience of living with persistent, recurrent or episodic non-clinical pain in any body site. Pain associated with a medical diagnosis, malign…

The data were analysed with qualitative content analysis. Independent ethical committees in all participating countries granted their approval for the study. Findings The participants highlight two…
Training Load and Energy Expenditure during Military Basic Training Period
2019
Purpose: To compare training load and energy expenditure during an 8-week military BT period among individuals having different fitness level using objective measurements in an authentic environment. Methods: Thirty-four voluntary male conscripts (age 19.1±0.3 years) were divided into three training groups (inactive, moderate, active) by their reported physical activity (PA) level evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) prior to military service. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and heart rate (HR) were determined by maximal treadmill test in the beginning and after 4 and 7 weeks of BT. During BT, HR monitors and accelerometers were used to measure PA and energy …
Training-induced changes in daily energy expenditure: Methodological evaluation using wrist-worn accelerometer, heart rate monitor, and doubly labele…
2019
IntroductionWrist-mounted motion sensors can quantify the volume and intensity of physical activities, but little is known about their long-term validity. Our aim was to validate a wrist motion sensor in estimating daily energy expenditure, including any change induced by long-term participation in endurance and strength training. Supplemental heart rate monitoring during weekly exercise was also investigated.MethodsA 13-day doubly labeled water (DLW) measurement of total energy expenditure (TEE) was performed twice in healthy male subjects: during two last weeks of a 12-week Control period (n = 15) and during two last weeks of a 12-week combined strength and aerobic Training period (n = 13…
