Gjøvaag, Terje; Berge, Hanna; Olsrud, Marianne; Welde, Boye (International Journal of Exercise Science;Vol. 13, Iss. 3 (2020), Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)International Journal of Exercise Science 13(3): 1532-1548, 2020.This study investigated the acute post-exercise hypotension (PEH) response in persons with elevated blood pressure or stage 1 hypertension following moderate ... -
Adaptation of human skeletal muscle to nine weeks of intermittent resistance training
Gjøvaag, Terje; Dahl, Hans A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)Twelve persons were randomly assigned to a training group (n=6) or a control group (n=6). The training consisted of intensive, intermittent elbow extensions three times a week at 55 per cent of 1RM for nine weeks. Needle ... -
Assessing mobility for persons with lower limb amputation: the Figure-of-Eight Walk Test with the inclusion of two novel conditions
Schack, Jette; Mirtaheri, Peyman; Steen, Harald; Gjøvaag, Terje (Disability and Rehabilitation;Published online 17 Sep 2019, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-28)Purpose: To investigate the internal consistency, convergent and known-groups construct validity of the Figure-of-Eight Walk Test with two novel conditions in persons with lower limb amputation, and to examine differences ... -
Assessment of aerobic capacity and walking economy of transfemoral amputees
Gjøvaag, Terje; Starholm, Inger Marie; Mirtaheri, Peyman; Wiig Hedde, Fride; Skjetne, Katrine (Prosthetics and orthotics international;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-06-24)Background: Studies of the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) of transfemoral amputees have mostly used protocols that activate a relatively small muscle mass. Consequently, transfemoral amputee VO2max may be systematically ... -
Carbohydrate and Fat Oxidation in Persons With Lower Limb Amputation During Walking With Different Speeds
Gjøvaag, Terje; Mirtaheri, Peyman; Starholm, Inger Marie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Studies suggest that the energy expenditure of healthy persons (control) during walking with the preferred walking speed in steady-state conditions is dominated by fat oxidation. Conversely, carbohydrate and ... -
Effect of Manual Wheelchair Type on Mobility Performance, Cardiorespiratory Responses, and Perceived Exertion
Bertolaccini, Guilherme; Sandnes, Frode Eika; Medola, Fausto Orsi; Gjøvaag, Terje (Rehabilitation Research and Practice;Volume 2022, Article ID 5554571, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-11)This study is aimed at comparing the design and configuration of the most commonly used manual wheelchair models through cardiorespiratory responses, perceived exertion, and mobility performance using two different manual ... -
Effect of one-year combined program of supervised resistance training and home based training on strength and functional capacities of a 70-year old patient diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. A case report
Gjøvaag, Terje; Sylliaas, Hilde (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The value of resistance training (RT) for people with Parkinson disease (PD) is disputed, but recent research shows promising results regarding effects of intensive RT. The main aim of this case report was to develop a ... -
Effects of knee orthoses on kinesthetic awareness and balance in healthy individuals
Ramstrand, Nerrolyn; Gjøvaag, Terje; Starholm, Inger Marie; Rusaw, David (Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering;Volume 6, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-02)Introduction: Conflicting evidence exists regarding the effects of knee orthoses on proprioception. One belief is that pressure applied by orthoses heightens kinesthetic awareness and that this affects balance. This study ... -
Energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees during floor and treadmill walking with different speeds
Starholm, Inger Marie; Mirtaheri, Peyman; Kapetanovic, Nihad; Versto, Tarjei; Skyttemyr, Gjermund; Westbye, Fredrik Tobias; Gjøvaag, Terje (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: Walking energy expenditure, calculated as the percent utilization of the maximal aerobic capacity, is little investigated in transfemoral amputees. Objectives: Compare the energy expenditure of healthy ... -
Energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees walking on a horizontal and tilted treadmill simulating different outdoor walking conditions
Starholm, Inger Marie; Gjøvaag, Terje; Mengshoel, Anne Marit (Prosthetics and Orthotics International;34 (2), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06)Background and aim: Transfemoral amputees often report that walking on tilted pavements or in terrain with the prosthesis on the highest side is quite strenuous. This study investigates the energy expenditure of transfemoral ... -
Impact of the COVID-19 restrictions on physical activity and quality of life in adults with lower limb amputation
Mellema, Mirjam; Risnes, Martha; Mirtaheri, Peyman; Gjøvaag, Terje (Prosthetics and orthotics international;, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-14)Background: This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on ambulatory activity and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in people with a lower limb amputation (LLA) in Norway. We hypothesized that the ... -
Replacing saturated fatty acids with polyunsaturated fatty acids increases the abundance of Lachnospiraceae and is associated with reduced total cholesterol levels-a randomized controlled trial in healthy individuals
Telle-Hansen, Vibeke; Gaundal, Line; Bastani, Nasser Ezzatkhah; Rud, Ida; Byfuglien, Marte G.; Gjøvaag, Terje; Retterstøl, Kjetil; Holven, Kirsten Bjørklund; Ulven, Stine Marie; Myhrstad, Mari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Improving dietary fat quality strongly affects serum cholesterol levels and hence the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Recent studies have identified dietary fat as a potential modulator of the gut microbiota, a ... -
