Energy system contribution during cross-country (XC) skiing races is dependent on several
factors, including the race duration, track profile, and sub-techniques applied, and their …

Background Cross-country skiing (XCS) racing, a popular international winter sport, is
complex and challenging from physical, technical, and tactical perspectives. Despite the vast …

Cross-country skiing is a complex endurance sport requiring technical skills, in addition to
considerable physiological and tactical abilities. This review aims to identify biomechanical …

Here, our aim was to describe the major changes in cross-country (XC) skiing in recent
decades, as well as potential future developments. XC skiing has been an Olympic event …

Objectives We investigated sex-based differences in speed, sub-technique selection, and
kinematic patterns during low-(LIT) and high-intensity training (HIT) for classical cross …

Introduction This study aimed to 1) determine basic physiological demands during a
simulated on-snow cross-country skiing (XCS) race when using grip-waxed skis (all classic …

The present study describes differences in pacing patterns and sub‐technique selection in
young compared to adult competitive cross‐country skiers. Eleven young male skiers …

Introduction Long-distance cross-country skiing (XCS) has gained increased popularity
within the past decades. However, research about long-distance XCS is limited; therefore …

Here, female and male elite cross-country (XC) skiers were compared on varying terrain
during an official 10-km (women) and 15-km (men) Norwegian championship race. On the …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different incline-speed
combinations, at equal external power outputs, on the mechanics and energetics of the …
