Prolonged sitting interrupted by 6-min of high-intensity exercise: Circulatory, metabolic, hormonal, thermal, cognitive, and perceptual responses
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-16)The aim was to examine certain aspects of circulatory, metabolic, hormonal, thermoregulatory, cognitive, and perceptual responses while sitting following a brief session of high-intensity interval exercise. Twelve students (five men; age, 22 ± 2 years) performed two trials involving either simply sitting for 180 min (SIT) or sitting for this same period with a 6-min session of high-intensity ... -
Recent kinematic and kinetic advances in Olympic alpine skiing: Pyeongchang and beyond
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-20)Alpine skiing has been an Olympic event since the first Winter Games in 1936. Nowadays, skiers compete in four main events: slalom, giant slalom, super-G and downhill. Here, we present an update on the biomechanics of alpine ski racers and their equipment. The technical and tactical ability of today’s world-class skiers have adapted substantially to changes in equipment, snow conditions and courses. ... -
Recommendations for assessment of the reliability, sensitivity, and validity of data provided by wearable sensors designed for monitoring physical activity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-30)Although it is becoming increasingly popular to monitor parameters related to training, recovery, and health with wearable sensor technology (wearables), scientific evaluation of the reliability, sensitivity, and validity of such data is limited and, where available, has involved a wide variety of approaches. To improve the trustworthiness of data collected by wearables and facilitate comparisons, ... -
The Responses of Elite Athletes to Exercise: An All-Day, 24-h Integrative View Is Required!
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-14)The current research topics in Frontiers of Physiology include “Training intensity, volume and recovery distribution among elite and recreational endura nce athletes” (Frontiers in Physiology, 2016) and “Wearable Sensor Technology for Monitoring Training Load and Health in the Athletic Population” (Frontiers in Physiology, 2017). As editors of both of these topics, we would like to share some ... -
A SWOT Analysis of the Use and Potential Misuse of Implantable Monitoring Devices by Athletes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-05)We have been following the developments and popularity of commercially available wearable sensor technology, as well as the ongoing discussion concerning its usefulness for improving the fitness and health of athletes (Düking et al., 2016, 2017; Sperlich and Holmberg, 2017) with considerable interest. Here, we would like to draw attention to a new generation of implantable devices (implantables) ... -
The Training of Olympic Alpine Ski Racers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-21)Alpine combined was the only alpine ski racing event at the first Winter Olympic Games in 1936, but since then, slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, and team events have also become Olympic events. Substantial improvements in slope preparation, design of courses, equipment, and the skills of Olympic alpine skiers have all helped this sport attain its present significance. Improved snow ... -
Whole-body vibrations associated with alpine skiing: A risk factor for low back pain?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-09)Alpine skiing, both recreational and competitive, is associated with high rates of injury. Numerous studies have shown that occupational exposure to whole-body vibrations is strongly related to lower back pain and some suggest that, in particular, vibrations of lower frequencies could lead to overuse injuries of the back in connection with alpine ski racing. However, it is not yet known which ...
