The acute effect of wearable resistance load and placement upon change of direction performance in soccer players
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Are gender differences in upper-body power generated by elite cross-country skiers augmented by increasing the intensity of exercise?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)In the current study, we evaluated the impact of exercise intensity on gender differences in upper-body poling among cross-country skiers, as well as the associated differences in aerobic capacity, maximal strength, body ... -
Are predation rates comparable between natural and artificial open-cup tree nests in boreal forest landscapes?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Nest predation studies often use artificial nests to secure sample sizes and nest distribution patterns that allow empirically testing differences in predation rates between ecological units of interest. These studies rely ... -
Association of strength and plyometric exercises with change of direction performances
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The change of direction (COD) ability is an important task-specific skill for success in team sports, dependent on both strength and reactive strength. The sprint approaching the COD and degrees of the turn are factors ... -
Complete chloroplast genomes of Vachellia nilotica and Senegalia senegal : Comparative genomics and phylogenomic placement in a new generic system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Vachellia and Senegalia are the most important genera in the subfamily Mimosoideae (Fabaceae). Recently, species from both genera were separated from the long-characterized Acacia due to their macro-morphological ... -
Digestive tract morphology and enzyme activities of juvenile diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed fishmealbased diets with or without fish protein hydrolysates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Triploid, sterile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) could make a contribution to the development of the farming industry, but uncertainties about the performance and welfare of triploids have limited their adoption by farmers. ... -
DNA damage and health effects in juvenile haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) exposed to PAHs associated with oil-polluted sediment or produced water
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The research objective was to study the presence of DNA damages in haddock exposed to petrogenic or pyrogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from different sources: 1) extracts of oil produced water (PW), dominated by ... -
The effects of ten weeks resistance training on sticking region in chest-press exercises
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The aim of the study was to compare the effects of a 10-week chest-press resistance training on lifting regions in a trained exercise and a none-trained exercise; the barbell bench press (BBP). Thirty-five resistance trained ... -
On the genus Crossaster (Echinodermata, Asteroidea) and its distribution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
A partial genome assembly of the miniature parasitoid wasp, Megaphragma amalphitanum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Body size reduction, also known as miniaturization, is an important evolutionary process that affects a number of physiological and phenotypic traits and helps animals conquer new ecological niches. However, this process ... -
Player load in male elite soccer : Comparisons of patterns between matches and positions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Our primary aim was to explore the development of player load throughout match time (i.e., the pattern) using moving 5-min windows in an elite soccer team and our secondary aim was to compare player load patterns between ... -
Predicting the influence of climate on grassland area burned in Xilingol, China with dynamic simulations of autoregressive distributed lag models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The influence of climate change on wildland fire has received considerable attention, but few studies have examined the potential effects of climate variability on grassland area burned within the extensive steppe land of ... -
Predictors of academic efficacy and dropout intention in university students : Can engagement suppress burnout?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this study we modelled possible causes and consequences of student burnout and engagement on academic efficacy and dropout intention in university students. Further we asked, can student engagement protect against the ... -

Sex-based differences in sub-technique selection during an international classical cross-country skiing competition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The purpose of this study was to compare speed, sub-technique selection and temporal patterns between world-class male and female cross-country (XC) skiers and to examine the combined associations of sex and speed on ... -
Variations in the constituent year effect in Junior World Championships in Alpine skiing : A window into relative devolopment effects?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)While research on the effects of ‘birth month’ is usually referred to as relative age effects, the study of the effects of ‘birth year’ is described as the constituent year effect (CYE). In the present study we examined ...
