1. 1. Strenght training and anabolic steroids : a comparative study of the trapezius, a shoulder muscle and the vastus lateralis, a thigh muscle, of strength trained athletes

   Författare :Anders Eriksson; Bengt Saltin; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :strength training; anabolic steroids; vastus lateralis; trapezius; enzymehistochemistry; immunohistochemistry; muscle fiber; myonuclei; satellite cell; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

   Sammanfattning : Strength training is widely used to increase performance in sports with high physical demands. The use of drugs such as anabolic steroids among athletes is a wellknown phenomenon, and the effects of these drugs on physical performance documented. LÄS MER

4. 3. On methods of evaluation of lower extremity eccentric muscle performance and loading

   Författare :Pär Westblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Biomechanics; eccentric; electromyography; isokinetic; methods; muscle endurance; pilot projects; reproducibility of results; strain; thigh; tibia.;

   Sammanfattning : This investigation has developed and evaluated methods for measuring eccentric muscle function and loading of the human lower extremity, including isokinetic tests of knee extensor muscle performance and a comprehensive in vivo method for conditions of functional loading. For measurement of knee extensor muscle performance, a protocol of 100 repetitive maximal actions at 90° was applied using a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer. LÄS MER

5. 4. Advancing the measurement of sedentary behaviour : classifying posture and physical (in-)activity

   Författare :Roman Peter Kuster; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Sedentary behaviour, defined by a sitting body posture with minimal-intensity physical activity, is an emergent public health topic. The time spent sedentary is associated with the incidence of non-communicable chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and significantly shortens life-expectancy in a dose-response relationship.

7. 5. Knee function, Physical Activity and Perceived Health after Meniscectomy in the Middle-aged

   Författare :Ylva Ericsson; Enheten för led- och mjukvävnadsforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; dGEMRIC; self efficacy of knee function; functional performance; muscle strength; meniscectomy; middle-aged; health-related quality of life; BMI; functional exercise;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore the impact of meniscal injury and meniscectomy on joint and muscle function, physical activity and perceived health in middle-age subjects and to evaluate the effect of a functional exercise program. Male and female post meniscectomy patients participated in Studies I-IV (n=45 in Studies I-III, n=99 in Study IV) and Study IV also included 94 controls. LÄS MER
