| Programme description | There are two main goals for the research programme. One is to examine basic mechanisms for central and peripheral limitations connected to supply and demand of oxygen transport, and identify training responses within the different mechanisms. Similarly to examine the basic mechanisms for muscular and neural limitations to strength, power and coordination, and identify training responses within the possible mechanisms. The prescription of effective endurance and strength training and the different effects of these mechanisms on top sport performance are one of the aims for the research programme. The second aspect of the research programme is based upon the fact that the fastest developing diseases within the population such as obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes II and osteoporosis are related to inactivity. Effective training interventions based on basic biological adaptations have given proven positive effects and are an effective treatment with a high socio-economic, as well as quality of life outcomes. Other patient groups such as lung disease patients also seem to be able to benefit considerably from new developments in the understanding of limitations to oxygen transport and specific training interventions. |
