Performance and Micro-Pacing Strategies in a Classic Cross-Country Skiing Sprint Race
Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2020 The purpose of the present study was to analyze micro-pacing strategies in cross-country skiing, and their relation to section and total race times. Eleven competitive female cross-country skiers were tracked during a classic sprint time-trial race using

Spleen Contraction During Sudden Eupneic Hypoxia Elevates Hemoglobin Concentration
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The spleen contracts progressively during moderate normobaric hypoxia exposure of 20 min, which elevates hemoglobin concentration (Hb). However, acute hypoxia exposure could be shorter and more severe when oxygen systems fail during, e.g., high-altitude ...

Recrystallization and damage of ice in winter sports [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2017 Ice samples, after sliding against a steel runner, show evidence of recrystallization and microcracking under the runner, as well as macroscopic cracking throughout the ice. The experiments that produced these ice samples are designed to be analogous to sliding in the winter sport of skeleton.
