Injury Patterns in Cross-Country Skiing
The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1981In brief: The low injury rate and health benefits of cross-country skiing make it appropriate for people of all ages, including those with arthritis or physical handicaps. But as its popularity increases, so do injuries. Most are due to cold, trauma, and overuse. Dr. Hixson discusses causes and prevention measures in each category.

The present chapter gives a theoretical analysis of the forces acting on a cross-country skier at various course gradients. A formulae for the human power output for given endurance and athletic characteristic is also presented. In addition, numerous examples are calculated to explain the force balance on a skier on a flat, an uphill and a downhill ski

Lighter-weight equipment, better groomed trails, and the increasing popularity of ski-skating techniques have introduced a new element to cross-country skiing: speed. Although the overall injury rate remains low, the number of traumatic injuries in cross-country skiers appears to be increasing.

Cross-country skiing and biathlon are safe disciplines with a very low number of acute injuries. Chronic injuries, however, may lead to significant times off competition and sometimes even to a frustrating ending of an athletes’ career. Therefore, the professional and persistent handling of preventive strategies in coordinative and stabilizing training

Cross-Country Skiing Injuries and Training Methods
Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2015Cross-country skiing is a low injury-risk sport that has many health benefits and few long-term health risks. Some concern exists that cross-country skiing may be associated with a higher incidence of atrial fibrillation; however, mortality rates among skiers are lower than those among the general population.

Physiological comparisons of cross-country skiing techniques
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1992Since the popularization of ski skating, several investigations have compared the physiological responses of various cross-country skiing techniques. While this work is incomplete in fully characterizing the relative physiological demands of the different skiing techniques, some conclusions can be made.
