1. Monitoring Health Problems and Training to Support Performance in Competitive Cross-Country Ski Athletes
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.

3. Urinary steroid profiles in doping testing : in relation to natural variation and drug administration
Sammanfattning : To detect doping with endogenous steroids, such as testosterone, biomarkers in urine are measured. These biomarkers include testosterone and some metabolically related steroids. The measured steroids are combined into ratios and together they make up the steroid profile. LÄS MER
4. Strength training for physical performance and injury prevention in sports. Individualised and supervised training for female athletes

Data are presented both on the influence of individualisation and supervision during resistance training for physical performance and injury prevention and on the athletes’ experience of resistance training and the role of the physical coach.
