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

Cross-country skiing in coronary patient
International Rehabilitation Medicine, 1983Since 1979, 33 coronary patients have participated altogether 52 times in the Ridderrenn, a 22 km cross-country ski race for handicapped persons. No complications occurred during the races. The authors conclude that cross-country skiing as a recreational activity can be enjoyed by many coronary patients, provided that extremes of cold and high ...

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 ...

Cross-country skiing is a low-impact, highly aerobic sport with relatively few injuries. Most injuries are of the overuse variety. Due to the variety of cross-training that most skiers employed due to limited availability of snow, some injuries are more related to the cross-training activities, though some injuries are quite specific for cross-country ...

Effect of Skiing Speed on Ski and Pole Forces in Cross-Country Skiing
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2008The 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 ...

Injuries in Cross-Country Skiing
Sports Medicine, 1996This study comprehensively reviews and critically appraises recent literature on cross-country skiing injuries. Particular attention was paid to the study design when reviewing the literature, thereby producing a measure of internal and external validity. From these data, the factors associated with the aetiology, frequency, site distribution and types

Cross-country (XC) skiing has evolved from a centuries-old means of transportation for populations living north of the Arctic circle to a sport and fitness activity enjoyed by millions of people worldwide [1]. Development of new ski techniques, better training and teaching methods, groomed trails, and technological advancements in equipment have made ...

Kinematics of sprint cross-country skiing. [PDF]
, 2005 The purpose of our study was to characterise the diagonal stride locomotion during a new short sprint race in cross-country skiing. Thirty male cross-country skiers were sagittaly filmed on an uphill portion of the 1.2-km classic race of the world cup (2004) using a digital camera.
