Endurance in Speed Skating [PDF]
We analyse the development of world records speed skating from 1893 to 2000 for both men and women. The historical data show that it is likely that the relation between skating speed and distance of the various events is non-linear and converges to a limit value.

Historical Improvement in Speed Skating Economy [PDF]
Half the improvement in 1500-m speed-skating world records can be explained by technological innovations and the other half by athletic improvement. It is hypothesized that improved skating economy is accountable for much of the athletic improvement. Purpose: To determine skating economy in contemporary athletes and to evaluate the change in economy ...

Visual Behavior in Inline Speed Skating: An Eye-Tracking Evaluation for Performance Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study analyzed oculomotor behavior (fixations and saccades) in 19 competitive inline speed skaters (5 males, 14 females; aged 10–26 years) from the Aragonese Skating Federation (Spain), comparing high‐performance (N1) and intermediate (N2) groups. Participants completed optometric assessments and eye‐tracking during 200 m time trials on a

Differences in Muscle Oxygenation, Perceived Fatigue and Recovery between Long-Track and Short-Track Speed Skating. [PDF]
Due to the technical nature of speed skating, that is affecting physiological mechanisms such as oxygenation and blood flow, this sport provides a unique setting allowing us to uncover novel mechanistic insights of the physiological response to exercise ...

The effect of klapskate hinge position on push-off performance: a simulation study [PDF]
klapskate in speed skating confronts skaters with the question of how to adjust the position of the hinge in order to maximize performance. The purpose of this study was to reveal the constraint that klapskate hinge position imposes on push-off ...

Push-off mechanics in speed skating with conventional skates and klapskates [PDF]
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

NIRS Measurements with Elite Speed Skaters: Comparison Between the Ice Rink and the Laboratory [PDF]
Wearable, wireless near-infrared (NIR) spectrometers were used to compare changes in on-ice short-track skating race simulations over 1,500 m with a 3-min cycle ergometry test at constant power output (400 W). The subjects were six male elite short-track

Identifying cross country skiing techniques using power meters in ski poles [PDF]
Power meters are becoming a widely used tool for measuring training and racing effort in cycling, and are now spreading also to other sports. This means that increasing volumes of data can be collected from athletes, with the aim of helping coaches and ...
