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

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

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
