Reference values for estimated VO2max by two submaximal cycle tests: the Åstrand-test and the Ekblom-Bak test
AimsSubmaximal tests estimating VO 2 max have inherent biases; hence, using VO 2 max estimations from the same test is essential for reducing this...

Prediction of upper extremity peak oxygen consumption from heart rate during submaximal arm cycling in young and middle-aged adults
Based on the strong linear relationship between heart rate (HR) and oxygen consumption, the Åstrand–Ryhming cycle ergometer test (Astrand and Ryhming...

Reference data on anthropometrics, aerobic fitness and muscle strength in young Norwegian men and women
PurposeAnthropometrics, aerobic fitness and muscle strength are measured in one-third of all 18-year-old Norwegian men and women during yearly...

Intensity of occupational physical activity in blue-collar workers: do self-reported rating and device-worn measurements agree?
PurposeHigh intensity occupational physical activity (OPA) seem to aggravate health and increase risk of sick leave and early retirement. Most...

Conventional methods to prescribe exercise intensity are ineffective for exhaustive interval training
PurposeTo compare methods of relative intensity prescription for their ability to normalise performance (i.e., time to exhaustion), physiological,...

The heart rate method for estimating oxygen uptake: analyses of reproducibility using a range of heart rates from commuter walking
BackgroundThe heart rate method, based on the linear relation between heart rate and oxygen uptake, is potentially valuable to monitor intensity...

Integration of microRNA changes in vivo identifies novel molecular features of muscle insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes
BackgroundSkeletal muscle insulin resistance (IR) is considered a critical component of type II diabetes, yet to date IR has evaded characterization...

Estimation of maximal heart rate using the relationship between heart rate variability and exercise intensity in 40–67 years old men
Large interindividual variation in maximal heart rate (HR max ) may not be accounted for by age alone. In order to evaluate a novel method in the...
