Comparison of Exclusive Double Poling to Classic Techniques of Cross-country Skiing
2018
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 XCS techniques [CLASSIC]), versus glide-waxed skis for exclusive double poling (DP) and 2) analyze in which track sections DP is different from CLASSIC under controlled gliding conditions in elite junior and senior skiers. Methods: Nineteen male and female elite XC skiers performed 1) two randomized simulated XCS races over 5.3 km using DP or CLASSIC measuring section times, V˙ O2, HR, blood lactate, and RPE; and 2) V˙ O2peak tests using diagonal stride and DP on treadmill. Results: The total group showed no differences…
The Development and Precision of a Custom-Made Skitester
2021
In the sport of cross-country skiing, equipment has a direct influence on results. Ski teams do extensive testing of different ski base grinds and products on a yearly basis. To achieve reliable results, the quality of methods used for testing skis needs to be taken in to account in addition to factors including the physical characteristics of testing personnel and changes in weather conditions. The aim of this study was to introduce a custom-made skitester, that was developed for testing skis on real snow, in laboratory conditions, and to evaluate its precision. The current skitester is capable of glide testing both classic and skate skis as well as kick simulation for the testing of grip …
Validation of portable 2D force binding systems for cross-country skiing
2013
The aim of the present study was to design, construct and scientifically validate a two-dimensional force measurement binding system for cross-country skiing. The system consists of two force measurement bindings. One binding was designed for analysing classic skiing (vertical and anterior–posterior [along the ski] force components) and the other one for skate (freestyle) skiing (vertical and medio-lateral [transverse to the ski] force components). Validation was accomplished using a three-step process: (1) accuracy tests for the sensors in two temperatures, (2) sport-specific imitation jump test on standard force plates in a laboratory and (3) comparing the system against force measurement…
Fascicle-tendon interaction in v2 skate cross-country skiing : a case study
2015
Venymis-lyhenemis –sykli (SSC) on laajalti tutkittu liha-jänne -kompleksin (MTU) toimintamalli ihmisen liikkumisessa. Jotta SSC toiminta voidaan ymmärtää, lihaksen toiminta tulee mitata ultraäänen (US) avulla. Aiemmin yksi tutkimus on käsitellyt MTU:n toimintaa hiihdon aikana perinteisellä hiihtotavalla (Ishikawa, Sano et al. 2010). Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tarjota ainutlaatuinen kokeellinen tulos MTU:n toiminnasta vapaan hiihdon V2- tekniikan aikana, sekä tarjota suosituksia tulevaa tutkimusta varten. Tutkimuksessa yksi kokenut hiihtäjä suoritti protokolla Vuokatin hiihtotunnelissa. Protokolla koostui kahdesta eri mittauskerrasta, joiden välissä suoritettiin 20 km mittainen hiihtok…
