  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. Association of Height, Weight, and Hand Grip Strength with Body Composition in Individuals with Spondylarthritis

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Habeeb Ololade; [2024]
    Keywords : BMI; Hand Grip Strength; Spondylarthritis; Body composition;

    Abstract : Abstract  Background: Body composition is an important health parameter in several disease conditions, e.g., the inflammatory back disease spondylarthritis (SpA). Body mass index (BMI) is the most common anthropometric body composition assessment but has several limitations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Comparison of muscle oxygen kinetics between occluded and non-occluded dynamic low-intensity exercise performed till failure : A quantitative study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för fysioterapi

    Author : Natalie Smith; Josefine Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : venous occlusion; muscle oxygenation kinetics; blood flow restricted exercise; ischemia; exercise failure; low-intensity strength training; Near-infrared spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Aim: To examine local muscle oxygen kinetics when performing wrist extensions till failure in an occluded versus non-occluded state, to compare the perceived ratings of pain and local muscle exertion, and analysing presence of gender differences. Methods: Twenty-one healthy individuals (mean age 25,6±3. READ MORE

  5. 4. Oral contraceptive phases and performance : Strength, anaerobic capacity, and lactate responce

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Isa Rönneblad; Elsa Ohrås; [2023]
    Keywords : Performance; oral contraceptive; contraception; Wingate; IMTP; anaerobic capacity; strength; percieved energy level; lactate; prestation; p-piller; preventionsmedel; anaerob förmåga; styrka; upplevd energinivå; laktat;

    Abstract : Background: Oral contraceptives are common among female athletes. Still, its effects on athletic performance are poorly investigated. Research in the area has increased in recent years. However, the study qualities and designs are often insufficient and with small sample sizes. READ MORE

  6. 5. An exploration of the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and glucose intolerance in healthy young adults

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Philip Richard Evans; [2023]
    Keywords : Type 2 diabetes mellitus; fasting plasma glucose; impaired fasting glucose; longitudinal trajectory; incidence rate; Oralt glukostoleranstest; antropometriska mätningar; muskelmassa; typ 2 diabetes; glukosintolerans;

    Abstract : Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a globally prevalent disease anticipated to double from 500 million diagnosed cases in 2021 to more than one billion by 2050. The investigation of the potentially protective effects of skeletal muscle mass on glucose intolerance may lead to the development of more precise screening protocols. READ MORE
