   Sammanfattning : Competitive cross-country (XC) ski athletes (defined hereafter as XC skiers and biathletes combined) are vulnerable to developing various health-related symptoms and conditions due to several factors, such as high physiological and psychological demands, extreme competition and training environments, high training loads, demanding competition schedules, and frequent travel. On initiating this work, we (the author and supervisory team) were approached by the Swedish Ski Association (SSF) and the Swedish Biathlon Federation (SSSF) to investigate the relationships between training, racing, and health problems, with a specific focus on illnesses (rather than injuries), and an ultimate goal of improving future support practices and athletic performance.

   Sammanfattning : The overall aims of this thesis were to elucidate the circulatory responses to ultra-endurance exercise (Adventure Racing), and furthermore, to contribute to the clarification of the so called “exercise-induced cardiac fatigue” in relation to said exercise. An Adventure race (AR) varies in duration from six hours to over six days, in which the participants have to navigate through a number of check-points over a pre-set course, using a combination of three or more endurance/outdoor sports, e.

4. 3. Bilateral kinetic, kinematic, neuromechanical, and muscle-tendon properties of habitual runners

   Författare :Tiago Canal Jacques; Anton Arndt; Rodrigo Bini; John Rasmussen; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

   Sammanfattning : Achilles tendon overuse-related injuries are a frequent problem to habitual runners. Such injuries occur more often unilaterally and its etiology is associated to overloading of the tendon tissue. Inter-limb differences during running are a possible cause for overload due to eventual differences in the mechanical loading provided to each limb. LÄS MER

5. 4. Viljan till fysisk aktivitet : en intervention avsedd att stimulera ungdomar att bli fysiskt aktiva

   Författare :Jenny Isberg; Håkan Stattin; Lauri Laakso; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical activity; Youth; Motivation; Physical education; Validity; Self-reported mea-surement; Sports; Idrott; Idrottsvetenskap; Sports Science;

   Sammanfattning : Physical education (PE) at school may play an important role in the process of becoming physically active in the adolescence and in developing a physically active lifestyle. The opportunities for teachers to provide positive physical activity experiences to the student population extend regularly over the school terms. LÄS MER

7. 5. Tear Secretory IgA: A Noninvasive Biomarker of Mucosal Immune Competence

   Författare :Helen Hanstock; Neil Walsh; Michael Gleeson; Bangor University; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Since early studies investigated the influence of exercise on salivary secretory IgA(SIgA) in the 1980s, there has been demand for non-invasive biomarkers capableof monitoring the immune response to exercise, training and stress, and provideinsight into whether such stressors may influence susceptibility to URTI. In spiteof >30 years of research and ~200 original articles investigating a multitude ofcandidate markers, this tool remains elusive. LÄS MER
