1. 21. Firefighters' physical work capacity

   Författare :Ann-Sofie Lindberg; Christer Malm; Juha Oksa; Desiree Gavhed; Peter Krustrup; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical demands; performance; work capacity; aerobic fitness; anaerobic fitness; muscle strength; muscle endurance; balance; ergonomics; physical testing; SIMCA;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to identify valid, simple, and inexpensive physical tests that can be used for evaluation of firefighters’ physical work capacity. Paper I included fulltime- and part-time firefighters (n = 193), aged 20-60 years. LÄS MER

3. 22. Chronic Systemic Inflammation, Body Composition and Physical Activity Behaviours in Older Adults

   Författare :Oscar Bergens; Fawzi Kadi; Andreas Nilsson; Mats Börjesson; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ageing; Exercise; Sedentary behaviour; Adipose tissue; Muscle mass; Muscle strength; Inflammatory biomarkers; Cardiorespiratory fitness; Metabolic health;

   Sammanfattning : Ageing is associated with a gradual physical decline accompanied by changes in body composition. The occurrence of a low-grade yet chronic state of systemic inflammation has gained interest for its potential consequences in the ageing process. LÄS MER

4. 23. Muscle strength and motor function in neuromuscular disorders. A clinical study of children and adolescents with spinal muscular atrophy, myotonic dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and amyoplasia

   Författare :Anna-Karin Kroksmark; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :muscle involvement; muscle function; motor performance; contractures; spinal muscular atrophy; myotonic dystrophy; Duchenne muscular dystrophy; amyoplasia; arthrogryposis multiplex congenita;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: The aims of this study were to investigate muscle strength and motor function in children and adolescents with four neuromuscular disorders; 1) spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), 2) myotonic dystrophy (DM), 3) Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD and 4) the amyoplasia form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. Further: 1) to analyze compensatory maneuvers due to muscle weakness in individuals with SMA, 2) to correlate motor function in individuals with DM with the size of the mutation, 3) to evaluate the long-term side effects and effects on muscle strength, motor function, vital capacity and development of scoliosis in boys with DMD treated with low-dose prednisone, and 4) to investigate how muscle strength and joint contractures affect motor function in individuals with amyoplasia and to relate current status to joint position at birth.

5. 24. Voluntary activation of skeletal muscle in young and old women and men

   Författare :Michael Miller; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical medicine; pain measurement; electric stimulation; muscle; kinesitherapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ;

   Sammanfattning : The evaluation of skeletal muscle strength is an important part of the physiotherapist’s clinical examination in order to plan and execute appropriate interventions. This requires the objective assessment of muscle strength and the determination of the underlying factors of muscle weakness. LÄS MER

7. 25. Effect of Physical Activity on Bone, Muscle and Fracture Risk during Growth

   Författare :Bjarne Löfgren; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; BMC; bone size; children; exercise; fracture; growth; hip stucture analysis; muscle strength; physical activity;

   Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis and related fractures are a global health problem. Physical activity, especially during growth, has been suggested as a strategy to improve musculoskeletal health in the population. LÄS MER
