Introduction
In my post doc project, my main goal is to develop new algorithms to predict the loads and damage in the Achilles tendon and patellar tendon during running. This goal is accomplished through musculoskeletal modelling and advanced statistical analyses

Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between attendance at routine preventive child health examinations in general practice and the risk of overweight and obesity in Danish children at age six, with a specific focus on children of parents with psychosocial risk factors.
Methods: Utilizing nationwide Danish registers, a populati...
Background
The obligation to pay for asthma medication in a country with universal healthcare might lead to increased asthma exacerbations and inequitable healthcare access for children from low-income households. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the association between household income and childhood/preschool asthma regarding hospitaliza...
Background:
Educational achievement may be adversely affected by chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence. This study aimed to examine the effect of being diagnosed with IBD on achievement of an upper secondary education and the influence of disease severity and psychiatric comorbidity.
Methods:
This cohort study was based on nationwide D...
Background:
Children with the most severe parental mental health conditions have an elevated risk of numerous adversities including somatic morbidity. However, there is no knowledge concerning physical health in most children affected by parental mental health conditions. Therefore, the aim was to examine the association between different severiti...
Aims
Foetuses exposed to smoking during pregnancy are disadvantaged due to numerous adverse obstetric outcomes. This study aimed to examine 1) inequality in maternal smoking between subgroups of pregnant women and 2) significant risk factors of maternal smoking.
Methods
Data were collected from Danish registries. Trends in maternal smoking within...
Objectives
There are indications that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound negative effect on psychological well-being. Here, we investigated this hypothesis using longitudinal data from a large global cohort of runners, providing unprecedented leverage for understanding how the temporal development in the pandemic pressure relates to well-bein...
The purpose was to investigate differences in reliability of running economy measurements between familiar and unfamiliar shoes. Thirty-seven runners were included who all ran in familiar and unfamiliar running shoes while running economy was measured at steady state using a treadmill. Each participant was tested on two different visits (three sess...
Knowing how many people are likely to benefit from a newly developed running shoe is of high relevance for footwear developers, phrasing legal claims and ultimately purchasing consumers. In order to assess and evaluate a likely scenario, the between-days reproducibility of percentages benefitting from lighter conventional flat running shoes (CON) o...
Objectives
Individuals with bipolar disorder are prone to risk-taking behavior that is subsequently regretted. Here, we investigated whether this also occurs in relation to use of social media and online dating.
Methods
A questionnaire-based survey focusing on the use of social media and online dating was conducted among individuals attending an o...
Patellar and Achilles tendinopathy commonly affect runners. Developing algorithms to predict cumulative force in these structures may help prevent these injuries. Importantly, such algorithms should be fueled with data that are easily accessible while completing a running session outside a biomechanical laboratory. Therefore, the main objective of...
The purpose of this work was to describe the leg-muscle-generated push force characteristics in sprint kayak paddlers for females and males on water. Additionally, the relationship between leg pushing force characteristics and velocity was investigated. Twenty-eight paddlers participated in the study. The participants had five minutes of self-chose...
Objectives
To investigate how individuals with a history of affective disorder use and perceive their use of social media and online dating.
Methods
A questionnaire focusing on affective disorders and the use of social media and online dating was handed out to outpatients from unipolar depression and bipolar disorder clinics and general practice p...
Background
Only about half of all patients with anxiety disorders or major depression respond to cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), even though this is an evidence-based treatment. Personalized treatment offers an approach to increase the number of patients who respond to therapy. The aim of this study was to examine predictors and moderators of (d...
Objective
Low frequency rTMS of the prefrontal cortex have been shown to have a statistically and clinically significant antidepressant effect. The present pilot study was carried out to investigate if right prefrontal low frequency rTMS as an add-on to ECT accelerates the antidepressant effect and reduces cognitive side effects.
Methods
In this r...
Introduction
Running injuries affect millions of persons every year and have become a substantial public health issue owing to the popularity of running. To ensure adherence to running, it is important to prevent injuries and to have an in-depth understanding of the aetiology of running injuries. The main purpose of the present paper was to describ...
A sudden change between any types of running shoes has been suggested to affect the running-related injury incidence rate. The purpose of this project was to investigate how the running-related injury incidence rate ratio (IIRR) modulates during a 1-year explorative prospective cohort study involving two unspecific running shoe changes. Ninety-nine...
Background and aims
Achilles tendinopathy is common among runners, but the etiology remains unclear. High mechanical pain sensitivity may be a predictor of increased risk of developing Achilles tendinopathy in this group. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether local pain sensitivity could predict the development of Achilles tendinopat...
Weak hip abductors may be related with increased hip adduction and knee abduction angular movement, which may be risk factors of lower extremity injuries. Since the role of eccentric hip abduction strength (EHAS) on hip adduction angular movement and the knee abduction angular movement (KABD) remains unclear and the purpose of the present study was...
Objectives:
Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciopathy and medial tibial stress syndrome injuries (APM-injuries) account for approximately 25% of the total number of running injuries amongst recreational runners. Reports on the association between static foot pronation and APM-injuries are contradictory. Possibly, dynamic measures of pronation may d...
The etiology of running-related injury is important to consider as the effectiveness of a given running-related injury prevention intervention is dependent on whether etiologic factors are readily modifiable and consistent with a biologically plausible causal mechanism. Therefore, the purpose of the present article was to present an evidence-inform...
TITLE
Shorter task duration and unchanged trunk muscle activity in low back pain patients during stair climbing before and after back extensor fatigue
AIM
To explore the muscle activity of trunk muscles and timing of the motor task in healthy and recurrent low back pain patients during stair ascend and descend before and after fatiguing of the lum...
