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 …

Successful cross‐country skiing, one of the most demanding of endurance sports, involves
considerable physiological challenges posed by the combined upper‐and lower‐body effort …

Cross-country (XC) skiing has been an Olympic event since the first Winter Games in
Chamonix, France, in 1924. Due to more effective training and tremendous improvements in …

The purpose was to examine skiing velocities, gear choice (G2–7) and cycle rates during a
skating sprint time trial (STT) and their relationships to performance, as well as to examine …

The present study investigated the physiological characteristics of eight world‐class (WC)
and eight national‐class (NC) Norwegian sprint cross country skiers. To measure the …

Purpose The objective of this study is to compare the physiological capacity and training
characteristics of the world's six highest ranked female cross-country skiers (world class …

This investigation was designed to analyze the time-trial (STT) in an international cross-
country skiing sprint skating competition for (1) overall STT performance and relative …

Aim: To investigate the effect of supplementing high‐volume endurance training with heavy
strength training on muscle adaptations and physical performance in elite cross country …

The present study investigated metabolic rate (MR) and gross efficiency (GE) at moderate
and high work rates, and the relationships to gross kinematics and physical characteristics in …

Purpose As cross-country sprint competitions rely on maximal-effort durations of∼ 3 min, a
significant anaerobic energy contribution is expected. Anaerobic energy production during …
