1. Metabolic and Cardiovascular Responses During Variable Intensity Exercise
Sammanfattning : Previous research investigating endurance sports from a physiological perspectivehas mainly used constant or graded exercise protocols, although the nature ofsports like cross-country skiing and road cycling leads to continuous variations inworkload. Current knowledge is thus limited as regards physiological responses tovariations in exercise intensity. LÄS MER
2. Single limb exercises in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : feasibility, methodology, effects and evidence
Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. COPD is a slowly progressive, inflammatory disease in the airways and lungs, caused mainly by smoking. The inflammation leads to a narrowing of the small airways (airway obstruction) and a destruction of tissue in the lungs. LÄS MER
3. Physical performance and physical activity in the later stage post-stroke
Sammanfattning : Aims: The overall purpose of this thesis was to increase knowledge about physical performance and activity in the later stage post-stroke by measuring walking performance in different environments coupled to muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness evaluation and self-reported physical activity. Methods: The studies reported in the thesis included a total of 83 subjects with prior stroke living in the community and 144 clinically healthy subjects from the same area. LÄS MER
4. Exercise and regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis factors in human skeletal muscle
Sammanfattning : Regular physical activity has many positive implications on health and performance, such as lowered risk for premature death, improved glucose metabolism and cardiovascular function as well as endurance capacity. Even a single bout of exercise is enough stimulus to change expression of many skeletal muscle genes. LÄS MER
5. On improvement of exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure, with special reference to local muscle training
Sammanfattning : Reduced heart pump function and skeletal muscle abnormalities are considered important determinants for the low physical exercise capacity in chronic heart failure. Because of reduced ventricular function, traditional physical rehabilitation with whole body training may cause under perfusion and low local work intensity, thereby producing suboptimal conditions for skeletal muscle training.
