1. Mitochondrial function in human skeletal muscle: with special reference to exercise and training
Sammanfattning : The overall objective of this thesis was to study the adaptation of oxidative function in human skeletal muscle to acute exercise of different modes, intensities and durations, and to endurance training. The effects of endurance training on mitochondrial function were evaluated in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies by measurements of mitochondrial oxygen consumption in isolated mitochondria and permeabilised muscle fibres and measurements of mitochondrial ATP production rate in isolated mitochondria.

2. Aerobic fitness and healthy brain aging : cognition, brain structure, and dopamine
Sammanfattning : Background: Performing aerobic exercise and maintaining high levels of aerobic fitness may have positive effects on both brain structure and function in older adults. Despite decades of research however, there is still a rather poor understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms explaining the positive effects of aerobic exercise on cognition. LÄS MER
3. Physiological responses to acute physical and psychosocial stress- relation to aerobic capacity and exercise training
Sammanfattning : Exercise training is an effective method to promote health and to prevent development of disease. Both physical and mental health have been shown to benefit from exercise training. It has also been speculated that physical exercise might affect responses to acute psychosocial stress. LÄS MER
4. Aspects of physical activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis : associations with inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors
Sammanfattning : Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), partially attributable to systemic inflammation and traditional risk factors for CVD. Since physical activity (PA) is strongly related to CVD in the general population, the aim of this thesis was to describe aspects of PA in patients with RA, and further to analyse associations with disease activity, traditional risk factors for CVD and subclinical atherosclerosis.

5. Aerobic exercise capacity in chronic kidney disease
Sammanfattning : Aerobic exercise capacity is impaired in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and it is associated with increased mortality and reduced quality of life. The mechanisms underlying reduced exercise capacity in CKD are complex and a comprehensive understanding is lacking, particularly in non-dialysis dependent CKD. LÄS MER
