The effect of active learning on academic performance in a Norwegian primary school setting–the Health Oriented Pedagogical Project (Hopp)
Background Numerous systematic reviews, with varying degrees of certainty, have suggested a beneficial link between physical activity and academic achievement. Methods The Health Oriented Pedagogical Project (HOPP) in Horten, Norway, integrates active learning in seven elementary schools’ curricula ( n = 1,545), aiming to merge physical activity with academic instruction. The control group consisted of two schools from Akershus County, doing stan…
Linking Motor Competence to Children’s Self-Perceptions
Functional Motor Fitness, but not Strength/Size, showed small-to-moderate, domain-specific links with children's Athletic (and, when adjusting for adiposity, Scholastic/Social) self-perceptions; mediated effects were small and not FDR-supported. Findings highlight the salience of visible, functional performances (e.g., agility/endurance tasks) for children's self-views and support PE approaches that foster diverse motor skills and motor fitness. …
A Case Study of the Short-Term Development of Body Composition and Substrate Utilization Following Prolonged Low-Intensity Ski Trekking with Inadequate Energy Intake in Svalbard
This case study aimed to examine the short-term development of body composition and substrate utilization (i.e., contribution of fat and carbohydrates to energy supply) following prolonged low-intensity ski trekking (LIST) with inadequate energy intake in an Arctic region. For 23 days, two highly aerobically fit, male recreational athletes (24 and 26 years) performed ~2 – 11 hours of LIST each day, while pulling supply sledges (initially ~80 kg) …
The association between psychological distress and alcohol consumption and physical activity
These findings highlight the substantial increases in risks related to inactivity and alcohol consumption among those with high levels of psychological distress symptoms, and particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and increase the understanding of factors associated with worries and health behavior
The short-term development of performance and aerobic endurance following prolonged low-intensity ski trekking in Svalbard
The purpose of this case study was to examine the short-term development of performance and aerobic endurance following prolonged low-intensity ski trekking (LIST) in an Arctic region. Two male recreational athletes (aged 24 and 26 years) with high aerobic fitness performed LIST 7 ± 2 h·day −1 for 23 consecutive days, while hauling sledges (∼80 kg initially) with supplies from the north to the south of Svalbard (∼640 km). Time to exhaustion, maxi…
Cardiovascular Health Effects of Shift Work with Long Working Hours and Night Shifts
There is a plausible association between shift work and cardiovascular disease (CVD), which may be due to disruption of the circadian rhythm causing hormonal changes and metabolic disturbances, resulting in high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and being overweight. However, few studies have investigated the association between several consecutive long work shifts, including night shifts, and risk factors for developing CVD. Moreover, k…
High-Intensity Training Reduces CVD Risk Factors among Rotating Shift Workers
Rotating shift work is associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We have studied the effect of 17 min high-intensity training three times a week over eight weeks on CVD risk factors among shift workers. Sixty-five shift workers from two plants were recruited. They were all deemed healthy at the initial health screening and in 100% work. From plant A, 42 workers, and plant B, 23 workers participated. After the intervention, 56…
Shift Work Including Night Work and Long Working Hours in Industrial Plants Increases the Risk of Atherosclerosis
There is an abundance of literature reporting an association between shift work and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Few studies have examined early manifestation of CVD using advanced modern methodology. We established a group of 65 shift workers and 29 day workers (controls) in two industrial plants. For the shift workers, the shift schedule includes rotating shifts with day, evening and nightshifts, some day and nightshifts lasting for 12 h. The …
The Effect of a Leisure Time Physical Activity Intervention Delivered via a Workplace
In line with recommendations from both the World Health Organization and the European Union some employers encourage workplace health promotion through physical activity (PA) facilities and leisure time PA-initiatives. The current study describes a 15-month follow-up after an 8-week workplace delivered PA-initiative, investigates if improvements in cardiovascular risk status are sustainable, and elucidates differences according to educational lev…
The health Oriented pedagogical project (Hopp) - a controlled longitudinal school-based physical activity intervention program
The study is registered in Clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02495714 ) as of June 20 th - 2015, retrospectively registered. The collection of baseline values was initiated in mid-January 2015
