Beato M, de Keijzer K, Munoz-Lopez A, Raya-Gonzalez J, Pozzo M, Alkner B, et al.
Sports Med . 2024 Jan; 54(3):541-556. PMID: 38175461
Background: Flywheel resistance training has become more integrated within resistance training programs in a variety of sports due to the neuromuscular, strength, and task-specific enhancements reported with this training. Objective:...

Fernandez-Gonzalo R, Tesch P, Lundberg T, Alkner B, Rullman E, Gustafsson T
FASEB J . 2020 Apr; 34(6):7958-7969. PMID: 32293758
This study explored the muscle genome-wide response to long-term unloading (84-day bed rest) in 21 men. We hypothesized that a part of the bed rest-induced gene expression signature would be...

Alkner B, Bring D
Aerosp Med Hum Perform . 2019 May; 90(6):506-512. PMID: 31101135
The aim was to study quadriceps muscle activation during resistance exercise using a flywheel device, developed as a gravity-independent resistance exercise device to be used during spaceflight, compared with traditional...

Alkner B, Halvardsson C, Brakenhielm G, Eskilsson T, Andersson E, Fritzell P
J Hand Surg Eur Vol . 2018 Mar; 43(8):825-831. PMID: 29504445
Level Of Evidence: I.

Alkner B, Norrbrand L, Tesch P
Aerosp Med Hum Perform . 2016 Aug; 87(7):610-7. PMID: 27503040
Introduction: This study examined the effects of long-term bed rest with or without a concurrent resistance exercise protocol on different muscle function indices of the knee extensors and their influence...

Alkner B, Tesch P
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2004 Sep; 93(3):294-305. PMID: 15338217
Skeletal muscle atrophy and strength loss induced by short-term simulated spaceflight are offset or attenuated by resistance exercise (RE). This study compared the effects of plantar flexor and knee extensor...

Alkner B, Berg H, Kozlovskaya I, Sayenko D, Tesch P
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2003 Jun; 90(1-2):44-9. PMID: 12783231
The efficacy of a resistance exercise paradigm, using a gravity-independent flywheel principle, was examined in four men subjected to 110 days of confinement (simulation of flight of international crew on...
