  1. 1. Blood flow restriction training for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or heart failure; A scoping review

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för fysioterapi

    Author : Ivar Ramström; Kevin Ulman; [2024]
    Keywords : Cardiac rehabilitation; Pulmonary rehabilitation; KAATSU; BFR; BFRT; Vascular occlusion; HF; COPD;

    Abstract : Background: Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is an effective way of training that enables training with low external load while receiving similar effects to high load training. The lack of knowledge of BFRT for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or heart failure (HF) led to the making of this scoping review. READ MORE

  3. 2. The development of a novel sport specific isometric strength measurement for para kayak classification : A reliability study

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Matilda Ekman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : To the author’s knowledge, no research has earlier been done on the development of a sport specific strength measurement system for para kayak classification.Aim: In order to work in line with the International Paralympic Committee, to develop more evidence-based methods for classification, the overall purpose of this study was to design and develop a sport specific test battery to measure force in isometric contractions.

  4. 3. The relationship between multi-joint eccentric strength and change of direction performance : A cross-sectional study on female soccer players

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

    Author : Michell Dahlin; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between a multi-joint eccentric strength test with both change of direction performance and ground reaction force (GRF) of the penultimate foot contact (PFC) in female soccer players. This study also aimed to investigate the bilateral strength and performance differences between the dominant and non-dominant limb. READ MORE

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

    Author : Gordan Divljak; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aim The purpose of this study was to examine high versus low resistance training loads performed to muscular failure and its effect on muscular strength, power and strength endurance. Method 11 men and 3 women (age 26,4 ±4,4 years, weight 79,9 ±10,7 kg, height 179,4 ±76 cm) were recruited to train for 2 days/week for 8-weeks in the leg press and leg extension. READ MORE

  6. 5. Ground Reaction Force Prediction during Weighted Leg Press and Weighted Squat in a Flywheel Exercise Device

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Tobias Munkhammar; [2017]
    Keywords : Ground reaction force prediction; musculoskeletal model; validation; leg press; squat; biomechanical analysis; pressure sensitive insoles; flywheel exercise device;

    Abstract : When performing a biomechanical analysis of human movement, knowledge about the ground reaction force (GRF) is necessary to compute forces and moments within joints. This is important when analysing a movement and its effect on the human body. READ MORE
