Advice about the optimal coordination pattern for an individual speed skater to reach their optimal performance, could well be addressed by simulation and optimization of a biomechanical model of speed skating. But before getting to this optimization approach one needs a model that matches observed behavior.

Measurement in speed skating tournaments
Journal of Sports Sciences, 1986Twenty principal components analyses were performed on the results of 10 European and 10 World male speed skating championships. The first principal component obtained was defined as 'the ability to skate well at all tournament distances'. Therefore the rank order of the participants' skating ability could be estimated in an alternative way to allow ...

Coordination of leg muscles during speed skating
Journal of Biomechanics, 1991Five speed skaters of elite performance level and six speed skaters of trained level were subjected to an inverse dynamical analysis during speed skating. Push-off forces were registered by means of special skates. Myoelectric activity (EMG) of ten leg muscles and cinematographic data were recorded.

Body Composition of Olympic Speed Skating Candidates
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1982Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to quantify the body composition of speed skaters who were candidates for the 1980 United States Olympic Team. Subjects were 19 males between 16 and 27 years of age. Most subjects had just completed three months of intensive dry-land training.

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1995
The purpose of this study was to describe the push-off kinematics in speed skating using three-dimensional coordinates of elite male sprinters during the first part of a speed skating sprint. The velocity of the mass center of the skater's body VC, is decomposed into an "extension" velocity component VE, which is associated with the shortening and ...

The Association Between Changes in Speed Skating Technique and Changes in Skating Velocity
International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2014A meaningful association between changes (Δ) in push-off angle or effectiveness (e) and changes in skating velocity (v) has been found during 5000-m races, although no significant association was found between changes in knee (θ0) and trunk angle (θ1) and Δv.

Push-Off Force in Speed Skating
International Journal of Sport Biomechanics, 1987In speed skating, performance is related to the product of the amount of work per stroke and the stroke frequency. Work per stroke is dependent on the component of the push-off force in the direction perpendicular to the gliding direction of the skate. The push-off force at different velocities was measured in three trained speed skaters.

On the Technique of Speed Skating
International Journal of Sport Biomechanics, 1987The mechanics of speed skating, as many other endurance sports, can be described by an energy flow equation. With such an equation the influence of suit, local pressure, altitude, shielding, and body position on speed is predicted. Next to these model predictions, the peculiar properties of the skating technique are discussed and their practical ...

Parameter analysis for speed skating performance
2018Speed skating is a rather special form of locomotion. While in most types of human locomotion, humans generate forces by pushing against the environment in the opposite direction of motion, in speed skating the skater pushes sideward to propel himself forward; Insight in the details of the technique can help a speed skater improve his performance ...

Skin Suit Aerodynamics in Speed Skating
2008Performances analysis in sports is complex since many factors linked together contribute to the final result thus a quantification of the effects of different suits on speed skating performances just with field measurements is a difficult task. In fact, field measurements and competition results do not clearly show the effect of using different suits ...
