    • Alpine skiing: How sensitive is race time to body weight? 

      Farzadian, Mohammad (Master thesis, 2024)
      Alpine skiing, with its blend of speed, technique, and physical endurance, is a sport where every detail counts. Among these details, the weight of the skier plays a pivotal role in determining performance outcomes. Pravin's ...

    • An assessment of swinger techniques for the playground swing oscillatory motion 

      Linge, Svein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Much attention has been devoted to how playground swing amplitudes are built up by swinger techniques, i.e. body actions. However, very little attention has been given to the requirements that such swinger techniques place ...

    • Effect of Tonsillar Herniation on Cyclic CSF Flow Studied with Computational Flow Analysis 

      Linge, Svein; Haughton, Victor; Løvgren, Alf Emil; Mardal, Kent-Andre; Helgeland, Anders; Langtangen, Hans Petter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Chiari I malformation, characterized by tonsils extending below the foramen magnum, has increased CSF velocities compared with those in healthy subjects. Measuring the effect of tonsillar ...

    • Men's artistic gymnastics: a new high bar-gymnast model with sensitivity analysis 

      Linge, Svein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The purpose of this work1 was to develop a new 2D gymnast - high bar model with horizontal bar endpoint dynamics included. To this end, a three-spring high bar model was extended with a 5 segment gymnast model followed by ...

    • On the Importance of Body Weight In Alpine Skiing 

      Thapa, Pravin Krishna (Master thesis, 2023)
      Alpine skiing is a complex and demanding sport that necessitates a combination of physical and mental skills, including balance, coordination, strength, and agility. With races lasting more than a minute and competitors ...

    • Simulating CSF flow dynamics in the normal and chiari I subarachnoid space during rest and exertion 

      Linge, Svein; Mardal, Kent-Andre; Haughton, Victor; Helgeland, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CSF fluid dynamics in healthy subjects and patients with Chiari I have been characterized during rest with phase-contrast MR imaging and CFD. CSF flow velocities and pressures in the nonresting state ...
