Push-off mechanics in speed skating with conventional skates and klapskates [PDF]
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2000 Personal and world records in speed skating improved tremendously after the introduction of the klapskate, which allows the foot to plantar flex at the end of the push-off while the full blade continues to glide on the ice. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the differences in skating technique with conventional versus klapskates and to

Sports analytics for professional speed skating [PDF]
Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, 2017 In elite sports, training schedules are becoming increasingly complex, and a large number of parameters of such schedules need to be tuned to the specific physique of a given athlete. In this paper, we describe how extensive analysis of historical data can help optimise these parameters, and how possible pitfalls of under- and overtraining in the past ...

The friction of tilted skates on ice
SciPost Physics, 2020 The friction felt by a speed skater is calculated as function of the velocity and tilt angle of the skate. This calculation is an extension of the more common theory of friction of upright skates.

Endurance in speed skating [PDF]
, 2002 We analyse the development of world records speed skating from 1893 to 2000 for bothmen and women. The historical data show that it is likely that the relation betweenskating speed and distance of the various events is non-linear and converges to a ...
