• Artifact Correction in Short-Term HRV during Strenuous Physical Exercise 

      Krolak, Aleksandra; Wiktorski, Tomasz; Bjørkavoll-Bergseth, Magnus; Ørn, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11)
      Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis can be a useful tool to detect underlying heart or even general health problems. Currently, such analysis is usually performed in controlled or semi-controlled conditions. Since many ...
    • Determinants of interindividual variation in exercise-induced cardiac troponin i levels 

      Bjørkavoll-Bergseth, Magnus; Erevik, Christine Bjørkvik; Kleiven, Øyunn; Eijsvogels, Thijs M. H.; Skadberg, Øyvind; Frøysa, Vidar; Wiktorski, Tomasz; Auestad, Bjørn; Edvardsen, Thor; Aakre, Kristin Moberg; Ørn, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-08)
      Background Postexercise cardiac troponin levels show considerable interindividual variations. This study aimed to identify the major determinants of this postexercise variation in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) following 3 ...
    • Duration of elevated heart rate Is an important predictor of exercise-induced troponin elevation 

      Bjørkavoll-Bergseth, Magnus; Kleiven, Øyunn; Auestad, Bjørn Henrik; Eftestøl, Trygve Christian; Oskal, Kay Raymond; Nygård, Martin; Skadberg, Øyvind; Aakre, Kristin Moberg; Melberg, Tor Harald; Gjesdal, Knut; Ørn, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background The precise mechanisms causing cardiac troponin (cTn) increase after exercise remain to be determined. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of heart rate (HR) on exercise‐induced cTn increase by ...
    • Endurance exercise training volume is not associated with progression of coronary artery calcification 

      Kleiven, Øyunn; Bjørkavoll-Bergseth, Magnus; Omland, Torbjørn; Aakre, Kristin Moberg; Frøysa, Vidar; Erevik, Christine B.; Greve, Ole Jacob; Melberg, Tor Harald; Auestad, Bjørn Henrik; Skadberg, Øyvind; Edvardsen, Thor; Ørn, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02)
      Background Recent cross‐sectional studies have suggested a dose‐dependent relationship between lifelong exposure to physical activity and the burden of calcified coronary artery disease (CAD). No longitudinal studies have ...
    • Methods for preprocessing time and distance series data from personal monitoring devices 

      Wiktorski, Tomasz; Bjørkavoll-Bergseth, Magnus; Ørn, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06)
      There is a need to develop more advanced tools to improve guidance on physical exercise to reduce risk of adverse events and improve benefits of exercise. Vast amounts of data are generated continuously by Personal Monitoring ...
    • Occult obstructive coronary artery disease is associated with prolonged cardiac troponin elevation following strenuous exercise 

      Kleiven, Øyunn; Omland, Torbjørn; Skadberg, Øyvind; Melberg, Tor Harald; Bjørkavoll-Bergseth, Magnus; Auestad, Bjørn Henrik; Bergseth, Rolf; Greve, Ole Jacob; Aakre, Kristin Moberg; Ørn, Stein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-06)
      Background Sudden cardiac death among middle-aged recreational athletes is predominantly due to myocardial ischaemia. This study examined whether measuring cardiac troponin I and T (cTnI and cTnT) after strenuous exercise ...
    • Race duration and blood pressure are major predictors of exercise-induced cardiac troponin elevation 

      Kleiven, Øyunn; Omland, Torbjørn; Skadberg, Øyvind; Melberg, Tor Harald; Bjørkavoll-Bergseth, Magnus; Auestad, Bjørn Henrik; Bergseth, Rolf; Greve, Ole Jacob; Aakre, Kristin Moberg; Ørn, Stein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-02)
      Background The underlying mechanisms of the exercise-induced increase in cardiac troponins (cTn) are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to identify independent determinants of exercise-induced cTn increase in a ...
    • Regular consumption of cod liver oil is associated with reduced basal and exercise-induced C-reactive protein levels; a prospective observational trial 

      Hansen, Mette Wærstad; Ørn, Stein; Erevik, Christine Bjørkvik; Bjørkavoll-Bergseth, Magnus; Skadberg, Øyvind; Melberg, Tor Harald; Aakre, Kristin Moberg; Kleiven, Øyunn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06)
      Background Dietary supplement use among recreational athletes is common, with the intention of reducing inflammation and improving recovery. We aimed to describe the relationship between omega-3 fatty acid supplement use ...
