• The Battle of the Equations: A Systematic Review of Jump Height Calculations Using Force Platforms 

      Eythorsdottir, Ingrid Eir Thorp; Gløersen, Øyvind; Rice, Hannah; Werkhausen, Amelie; Ettema, Gertjan; Mentzoni, Fredrik; Solberg, Paul Andre; Lindberg, Kolbjørn Andreas; Paulsen, Gøran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Vertical jump height measures our ability to oppose gravity and lower body neuromuscular function in athletes and various clinical populations. Vertical jump tests are principally simple, time-efficient, and extensively ...
    • The effects of being told you are in the intervention group on training results: a pilot study 

      Lindberg, Kolbjørn Andreas; Bjørnsen, Thomas; Vårvik, Fredrik Tonstad; Paulsen, Gøran; Joensen, Malene; Kristoffersen, Morten; Sveen, Ole; Gundersen, Hilde; Slettaløkken, Gunnar; Brankovic, Robert; Solberg, Paul Andre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Little is known about the placebo effects when comparing training interventions. Consequently, we investigated whether subjects being told they are in the intervention group get better training results compared to subjects ...
    • The Force-Velocity Profile for Jumping: What It Is and What It Is Not 

      Bobbert, Maarten F.; Lindberg, Kolbjørn Andreas; Bjørnsen, Thomas; Solberg, Paul Andre; Paulsen, Gøran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Introduction: Force–velocity profiling has been proposed in the literature as a method to identify the overall mechanical characteristics of lower extremities. A force–velocity profile is obtained by plotting for jumps at ...

      Purpose:This study examined the test–retest reliability of common assessments for measuring strength and power of the lowerbody in high-performing athletes.Methods:A total of 100 participants, including both male (n=83) ...
    • Validity of Force-Velocity Profiling Assessed With a Pneumatic Leg Press Device 

      Lindberg, Kolbjørn Andreas; Eythorsdottir, Ingrid Eir Thorp; Solberg, Paul Andre; Gløersen, Øyvind Nøstdahl; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Bjørnsen, Thomas; Paulsen, Gøran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the concurrent validity of force–velocity (FV) variables assessed across 5 Keiser leg press devices. Methods: A linear encoder and 2 independent force plates (MuscleLab devices) ...
