CERG International page The Cardiac Exercise Research Group aims to define optimal exercise programs to improve long-term health for everyone.

We are the inventors of the Fitness Calculator (ntnu.edu/vo2max) and Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI, ntnu.edu/cerg/pai). The Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG) does research on the beneficial effects physical exercise has on life style related diseases. The aim of the research is to develop new and better exercise training programs to treat life style diseases, and contribute in the fight against the major public health challenges our society faces, such as inactivity, obesity and type 2 diabetes. The group is led by Professor Ulrik Wisløff.

However, our Professor Ulrik Wisløff thinks it should also include exercise habits, and encourages people to use our method instead: fitnessage.miahealth.no

Scientists created a new online calculator that reveals your heart’s age and your risk of heart disease.

Four out of ten healthy adults have a body fat percentage indicating obesity. At the group level, only the physically active part of the population has a normal body fat percentage.

Our results show that far more people are overweight when body fat percentage is used as a measure of body composition instead of BMI. For example, one in three with a normal BMI has a body fat percentage that corresponds to overweight or obesity.
