The Impact of Skinsuit Zigzag Tape Turbulators on Speed Skating Performance
Applied Sciences, 2021 At the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic Games, zigzag tape was introduced on the race suit lower legs and cap of speed skaters. Application of these zigzag devices on live skaters and cylinders in the wind tunnel showed large improvements in the aerodynamic ...

Home advantage in speed skating: Evidence from individual data [PDF]
Journal of Sports Sciences, 2005 Home advantage is a well-documented phenomenon in many sports. Home advantage has been shown to exist for team sports (soccer, hockey, football, baseball, basketball) and for countries organizing sports tournaments like the Olympics and World Cup Soccer.

Historical Improvement in Speed Skating Economy [PDF]
International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2017 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 ...

Assessing High-Intensity Acceleration Efforts Using Local Positioning System—Introducing the Concept of the Relative Acceleration Threshold to Ice Hockey [PDF]
SportsCurrent methods for assessing acceleration efforts (accefforts) in ice hockey do not account for the influence of initial skating speed on maximal voluntary acceleration capacity, which may lead to a biased evaluation of acceffort intensity.
