The effect of sex and performance level on pacing in cross-country skiers: Vasaloppet 2004‐2017
Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2018 Background: Pacing, defined as percentage changes of speed between successive splits, has been extensively studied in running and cycling endurance sports; however, less information about the trends in change of speed during cross-country (XC) ski racing

Towards flow field measurements around dynamic cross-country skiers
Current Issues in Sport ScienceFlow field measurements around cross-country skiers (xc skiers) are lacking in the literature to date. The aim was therefore to investigate the possibility of using particle tracking velocimetry for visualization and measurement of the flow field around

Quantitative technique analysis in XC-skiing
, 2014 Due to the complexity of human locomotion, a quantitative analysis of technique in sports is often difficult. For that reason a qualitative approach is most widespread, in particular amongst practitioners. The qualitative approach offers fast and individually adjusted feedback from a technical coach. However, it is also prone to bias due to the coaches
