Effect of Skiing Speed on Ski and Pole Forces in Cross-Country Skiing

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2008
The present study characterized pole and ski forces in classical technique cross-country skiing. Eight elite junior cross-country skiers performed diagonal skiing at 65%, 75%, 90%, and 100% of maximum speed on a stable 100-m-low uphill (2.5 degrees ).: The ski and the pole forces (vertical (Fz) and horizontal (Fy) directions) on the right and left ...
