Lars Martin Tingelstad

Lars Martin Tingelstad serves as a Lecturer at the Institute of Physical Performance, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, while completing his PhD on physical performance and maturation in youth team sports.

His academic foundation:

• Bachelor of Sports Biology, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences
• Master of Exercise Physiology, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences

Research focuses on adolescent athletes in team sports, specifically training load management, physical development trajectories, and performance optimization. Tingelstad integrates academic research with practical coaching as a strength and conditioning specialist for Lyn Football (women's team).

His scholarly output demonstrates a consistent theme: understanding how growth and maturation interact with training to influence physical performance in youth sports. Recent work includes a systematic review (2023) and a study on age/sex differences (2025), both emphasizing evidence-based approaches for youth athlete development.
