Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of the patellar tendon in elite volleyball players with and without patellar tendinopathy
Christian Helland,Jens Bojsen-Møller,Truls Raastad,Olivier R. Seynnes,Marie M. Moltubakk,Vidar Jakobsen,Håvard Visnes,Håvard Visnes,Roald Bahr +8 more
TL;DR: Patellar tendinopathy is associated with a decrease in the mechanical and material properties of the tendon in elite athletes subjected to a high volume of jumping activity, however, compared with their healthy counterparts, tendinopathic volleyball players have a better ability to utilise the stretch-shortening cycle when jumping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of androgenic-anabolic steroids and heavy strength training on patellar tendon morphological and mechanical properties.
Olivier R. Seynnes,Sigitas Kamandulis,Ramutis Kairaitis,Christian Helland,Emma-Louise Campbell,Marius Brazaitis,Albertas Skurvydas,Marco Narici,Marco Narici +8 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that tendon adaptations from years of heavy resistance training are different in AAS users, suggesting differences in collagen remodeling, which could be linked to a higher risk of tendon injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of individualised sprint training in elite female team sport athletes: A pilot study.
TL;DR: Eleven elite female handball players performed two weekly sprint training sessions over eight weeks in addition to their regular handball practice to evaluate whether an individualised sprint-training program was more effective in improving sprint performance in elite team-sport players compared to a generalised sprint -training program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Training Strategies to Improve Muscle Power: Is Olympic-style Weightlifting Relevant?
Christian Helland,Eirik Hole,Erik Iversen,Monica Charlotte Olsson,Olivier R. Seynnes,Paul Andre Solberg,Gøran Paulsen +6 more
TL;DR: MSPT was time-efficient and equally or more effective than FSPT training in improving vertical jumping and sprinting performance and OWL was generally ineffective and inferior to the two other interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force-velocity profiling in athletes: Reliability and agreement across methods
Kolbjørn Lindberg,Paul Andre Solberg,Thomas Bjørnsen,Christian Helland,Bent R. Rønnestad,Martin Thorsen Frank,Thomas A. Haugen,Sindre Østerås,Morten Kristoffersen,Magnus Midttun,Fredrik Saeland,Gøran Paulsen +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the test-retest reliability and agreement across methods for assessing individual force-velocity (FV) profiles of the lower limbs in athletes using a multicenter approach.
