The research group is a part of the research division Physical education, sports science and outdoor education.
The research group of SaHMS study human movements from a multidisciplinary approcah with movements as dependent or independent variables. The research group perform both basic and apllied science with theoretical framworks from physiology, neurophysiology, psychology, and motor control and learning.
The purpose is to develop knowledge with practical implications for sport science, physical education and Health, physiotherapy, outdoor activities and physical education.
Research Projects
Project leader: Tore Kristian Aune
The project focus on generality and specificity of motor control and learning, transfer of skills, the overload principle and organismic constraints for performance development applied in sport and human movements in general.
Project leader: Terje Dalen
The purpose of the project is to gain new insight in physical performance of soccer using investigation of training principles like specificity, transfer of training, individualization, and load adaptation. Elite sports is an important group to investigate because of the high level of performance, and the findings may be contextualized to other areas where training adaptations to higher level performance is the main objective.
Project leaders: Tore Kristian Aune and Terje Dalen
The project focuses on relative age effects in selection i different sports, assessment in physical education and national tests of different academic skills.
Project leader: Truls V. Roaas
The project focus on nonlinear pedagogy as a powerful paradigm for designing effective teaching, coaching and training programs in sport and physical education.
Project leader: Tore Kristian Aune
The project focus on differences in motor control and learning with proximal versus distal effectors in upper extremities as a window into neurophysiological constraints for bilateral communication and bimanual coordination. The research is partly applied within the man-machine interface paradigm and control of different types of steering devices, bimanual interference and dual-tasks.
Project leader: Sigve Nyvik Aas
The purpose of the project is to gain new insight in age-related impairments in muscle function, and to investigate adaptation to different exercise regimes in older adults
