  1. 1. Physical fitness and overweight in Swedish youths

    Författare :Örjan Ekblom; P-O Åstrand; Pekka Oja; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Övervikt hos barn; Övervikt hos ungdomar; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology; Adolescents; children; physical performance; fitness; trend; overweight; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to describe the level of physical fitness and prevalence of overweight and obesity in Swedish youths, and their trends over 14 years. Additionally, the relation between fitness and overweight on the one hand and physical activity on the other was examined. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Studies of physical activity in the Swedish population

    Författare :Sven Johan Gustav Olsson; Mats Börjesson; Örjan Ekblom; Lena Kallings; Mikael Fogelholm; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; physical fitness; sedentary; questionnaire; validity; self-rated health; sensitivity; specificity; physical activity on prescription; accelerometry; the Ekblom-Bak test; answer modes; movement pattern; health-related quality of life; physical health; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cheap and effective tools for measuring patients’ physical activity (PA) level are needed. The first aim in this thesis was therefore to assess the validity of two PA -questions, and their three associated answer modes, that are used within the Swedish health care system. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Validity and reliability of a submaximal cycle ergometer test for estimation of maximal oxygen uptake

    Författare :Frida Maria Eleonora Björkman; Örjan Ekblom; Tony Bohman; Åsa Tornberg; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Sammanfattning : Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is the highest obtained rate of oxygen consumption during a physically intense dynamic whole-body activity. VO2max is an important factor for many types of physical performance, as well as a strong independent predictor of health and longevity. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Physical activity among patients with cardiovascular disease : a predictor of hospital care utilisation and mortality in clinical work

    Författare :Amanda Ek; Örjan Ekblom; Lena Kallings; Mats Börjesson; Joep Perk; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; Physical exercise; Sedentary behaviour; Physical activity; Survival; Mortality; Hospitalisation; Cardiology Service; Guideline adherence; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Sammanfattning : Guidelines highlight the importance of physical activity (PA) in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) within the healthcare sector. Previous studies have mainly focused on the effects of PA at moderate-vigorous intensity performed within exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Competitive performance prediction of elite alpine skiers

    Författare :Robert Nilsson; Christer B. Malm; Apostolos Theos; Ann-Sofie Lindberg; Richard A. Ferguson; Örjan Ekblom; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Competitive performance; FIS points; alpine skiing; alpine skiers; physiological test results; anthropometric variables; multivariate data analysis; multivariate statistics; principal component analysis; orthogonal projections to latent structures; individual profiling; Sports Medicine; idrottsmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: The overall aim of this doctoral thesis was to identify physiological and anthropometric variables valid for prediction of competitive performance in alpine skiing (indicated by FIS points).Method: Paper I-III in this doctoral thesis followed an experimental, hypothesis-generating design which included both junior and senior elite alpine skiers.
