Numerical simulation of cross-country skiing
Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2011A program for numerical simulation of a whole ski race, from start to finish, is developed in MATLAB. The track is modelled by a set of cubical splines in two dimensions and can be used to simulate a track in a closed loop or with the start and finish at different locations. The forces considered in the simulations are gravitational force, normal force

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1978
Cross-country skiing has been thought to be a safe sport, with few serious injuries and a preponderance of upper extremity injuries. Eleven cases of relatively severe injuries illustrate that this is not necessarily true.

Frequency and aetiology of injury in crossâcountry skiing
Journal of Sports Sciences, 1987A comparative analysis was carried out on 1263 injured downhill skiers and 85 cross-country skiers with regard to risk of injury, diagnosis, localization and age distribution. While 48% of the injuries to cross-country skiers involved the upper extremities, 77% of the injuries to downhill skiers involved lesions of the leg.

Musculoskeletal Injuries in Cross-Country Skiing
Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2022AbstractCross-country skiing, one of the oldest forms of skiing, is enjoyed widely as a recreational activity and as a competitive sport. It is practiced in regions with snow-covered landscapes, particularly in the Nordic countries and with increasing popularity in non-Nordic countries of Europe as well as in the United States, Canada, Australia, and ...

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1980
Although Nordic skiing is generally considered safe, it is not without risk. Most injuries are to the upper body, but Dr. Lyons reports some severe lower extremity injuries.

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1982
Cross-country skiing is a reasonably low risk sport that can be enjoyed by athletes of all ages. It is an excellent cardiovascular fitness sport that at the same time offers rewarding scenery and solitude. The risk of injury can be decreased by taking lessons, taking care on downhill sections, using equipment that does not have too much heel fixation ...

Applied Physiology of Cross-Country Skiing
Sports Medicine, 1989Cross-country ski racing has evolved rapidly in recent years. Of particular interest has been the development and proliferation of the faster freestyle or skating techniques. In spite of changes in technique and equipment, the fact that elite cross-country ski racers have some of the highest aerobic power values reported for endurance athletes has not ...

Dynamics of coordination in cross-country skiing
Human Movement Science, 2009The aim of the present study was to identify modes of coordination in cross-country skiing from a dynamical systems perspective. Participants (N=8) skied on a treadmill using classical techniques with varying steepness (i.e., 0 degrees-7 degrees). Coordination was evaluated in terms of the relative frequency and relative phase between upper arms and ...

Kinematics of cross-country ski racing
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1996This study investigated the evolution of skiing velocity, cycle length, and cycle rate in elite and subelite skiers during cross-country ski races. Senior male cross-country skiers engaged respectively in a 30-km skating race (N = 34) or a 50-km classical race (N = 27) were videotaped as they skied two different sections of 30 m, a 7 degrees uphill ...

Cross-Country Skiing Injuries and Biomechanics
Sports Medicine, 1989Cross-country skiing exercises most of the joints, muscles and tendons in the body giving the skier an all around workout. This, in combination with a low incidence of injury, makes cross-country skiing an ideal recreational and competitive sport. The new skating techniques developed during the last decade have resulted in greater velocity. The maximum
