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 ...

A controlled, prospective study of the incidence of injury in cross-country skiing was carried out at various ski touring centers in northern Vermont. The rate of injury was determined to be 0.72 per 1000 skier days. Most injuries occurred in beginners or intermediate skiers on downhill terrain. Forty-nine injuries sustained by 43 skiers were evaluated.

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

Ski-Flying: Related Catecholamine Excretion Compared with Cross-Country Skiing*
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1988We examined the catecholamine excretion and its performance-diagnostic relevance in athletes of the German National Team during ski-flying and cross-country skiing. Five athletes were examined during the 1986 World Championship ski-flying competition and eight athletes during a 24-km cross-country qualification test.

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

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 ...

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.
