Public Defense of doctoral thesis | From Cardiorespiratory Limitations through the Cancer Journey to Benefits of Cardio Training in Cancer Survivors: The Effect of Exercise Among Breast Cancer Survivors...
Many people know that cancer treatment can be tough, but fewer are aware that the effects can last for years. Regarding the tough course of cancer treatment that can also affect the healthy cells in the body, cancer survivors remain susceptible to late effects following therapy, including physical, psychological, and social challenges. This thesis provides compelling evidence of the substantial cardiorespiratory fitness decline occurring during and after systemic anticancer treatment, emphasizing the critical role of interventions to counteract these changes, such as exercise therapy.
Public defence of doctoral thesis | Physical activity, fitness, screen time and healthy brain functions in adolescents by Karin Kjellenberg, Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences | December...
The aim of this thesis was to investigate how accelerometer-measured physical activity, sedentary time, sports participation, fitness, and screen time were associated with healthy brain functions (mental health, cognitive, and academic performance), in a cohort of Swedish adolescents. Further, to examine how physiological factors underpinning healthy brain functions change acutely when prolonged sitting is interrupted with physical activity breaks.
Public Defence of doctoral thesis | Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic risk factors from childhood to young adulthood by Anders Husøy, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, October 9,...
In the UngKan (Youth can do it) follow-up study Anders Husøy sought to examine the trends, levels, and associations of physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiometabolic risk factors from childhood (age 9 years) to adolescence (15 years) and further into young adulthood (age 24 years). In one study, he found that sedentary time increases from childhood to adolescence. A decrease from childhood to adolescence was seen for time spent in light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity.
