Cross-Country Ski 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 ...

Modern Skis in Nostalgic Landscapes: The Technological Development of Swedish Cross-Country Skiing, 1892–1932

Scandinavian Journal of History
This article is a study of technological change in cross-country (XC) skiing in Sweden from the late nineteenth century to the 1930s. While technological development in sport is usually seen as a linear and predetermined process, it is instead treated in

Women Upward-Sex Differences in Uphill Performance in Speed Climbing, Ski Mountaineering, Trail Running, Cross-Country Skiing, and Cycling.

International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance
INTRODUCTION Women have generally lower body size and lean- to fat-mass ratio, lower maximal anaerobic power due to a lower muscle mass, and fewer fast-twitch fibers, although they can show higher resistance to fatigue or greater metabolic flexibility ...

On the potential impacts of climate change on baseball and cross-country skiing

, 2020
Rationale: The sport sector depends on the natural environment for critical resources such as energy, water, and in some cases, the field of play. As such, climate change will have implications for sport. Yet, the actual and potential deleterious effects

Kinematics of cross-country ski racing

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1996
This 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 ...

Skiing: Cross-Country

2020
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 ...

Numerical simulation of cross-country skiing

Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2011
A 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

Applied Physiology of Cross-Country Skiing

Sports Medicine, 1989
Cross-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 ...
