    • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease does not impair responses to resistance training 

      Mølmen, Knut Sindre; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Falch, Gunnar Slettaløkken; Grundtvig, Morten; Koll, Lise; Hanestadhaugen, Marita; Khan, Yusuf; Ahmad, Rafi; Malerbakken, Bente; Rødølen, Tore J.; Lien, Roger; Rønnestad, Bent; Raastad, Truls; Ellefsen, Stian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: Subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prone to accelerated decay of muscle strength and mass with advancing age. This is believed to be driven by disease-inherent systemic pathophysiologies, ...
    • The higher oxygen consumption during multiple short intervals is sex-independent and not influenced by skeletal muscle characteristics in well-trained cyclists 

      Urianstad, Tomas; Hamarsland, Håvard; Odden, Ingvill; Lorentzen, Håvard Crantz; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Mølmen, Knut Sindre; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      It has been suggested that time spent at a high fraction of maximal oxygen consumption (%mathematical equationO2max) plays a decisive role for adaptations to interval training. However, previous studies examining how ...
    • The higher the fraction of maximal oxygen uptake is during interval training, the greater is the cycling performance gain 

      Odden, Ingvill; Nymoen, Lars; Urianstad, Tomas; Kristoffersen, Morten; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Hansen, Joar; Mølmen, Knut Sindre; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      It has been suggested that time at a high fraction (%) of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) plays a decisive role for adaptations to interval training. Yet, no study has, to date, measured the % of VO2max during all interval ...
    • Increased biological relevance of transcriptome analyses in human skeletal muscle using a model-specific pipeline 

      Khan, Yusuf; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Rønnestad, Bent; Ellefsen, Stian; Ahmad, Rafi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Abstract Background: Human skeletal muscle responds to weight-bearing exercise with signifcant inter-individual diferences. Investigation of transcriptome responses could improve our understanding of this variation. ...
    • Systemic and muscular responses to effort-matched short intervals and long intervals in elite cyclists 

      Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Nygård, Håvard; Vegge, Geir; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Ellefsen, Stian; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of time- and effort-matched high-intensity intervals on physiological, endocrine, and skeletal muscle molecular variables in elite cyclists. Eight elite cyclists ...
    • Vitamin D3 supplementation does not enhance the effects of resistance training in older adults 

      Mølmen, Knut Sindre; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Pedersen, Karianne; Lie, Anne Cecilie Lian; Steile, Ragnvald B.; Nygård, Håvard; Khan, Yusuf; Hamarsland, Håvard; Koll, Lise; Hanestadhaugen, Marita; Eriksen, Atle Lie; Grindaker, Eirik; Whist, Jon Elling; Buck, Daniel; Ahmad, Rafi; Strand, Tor Arne; Rønnestad, Bent R.; Ellefsen, Stian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: Lifestyle therapy with resistance training is a potent measure to counteract age-related loss in muscle strength and mass. Unfortunately, many individuals fail to respond in the expected manner. This phenomenon ...
