Background and activities
Øivind Rognmo is Researcher at K. G. Jebsen - Center for Exercise in Medicine. His research focus is cardiovascular adaptations of exercise training, from cellular physiology, via clinical adaptations, to benefits on population level.
Ongoing research projects
- Healthy heart: Organization of a database of 6000 patients at cardiac rehabilitation in Norway.
- Generation 100 study: A randomized controlled study of the long-term effects of exercise training on mortality in elderly people.
- OptimEx: (Optimizing Exercise Training in Prevention and Treatment of Diastolic Heart Failure) An EU-funded multicenter study focusing on exercise as medicine for diastolic heart failure.
Employment
- Senior Researcher at the Cardiac Exercise Research Group, Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging, NTNU, Trondheim.
- Senior researcher at the Norwegian National Advisory Unit on Exercise Training as Medicine St. Olavs University Hospital, Trondheim.
- Senior Adviser of the Norwegian PhD School of Heart Research (NORHEART), University of Oslo.
