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-country (XC) skiing across varying terrain. Methods Six male and six female elite XC skiers with an approximately 15% dif...

Ny teknologi kan gøre brugen af video overflødig, fordi målingerne er så præcise. Og sensorerne virker ude på løjperne - ikke kun i laboratoriet....

Norwegian cross-country skiing is applying science to analyse how its elite athletes exploit their strengths during training and competition. The aims of this sensor-based research are to give skiers valuable advice about training and help them find the perfect pair of skis....

Norsk langrennssport går vitenskapelig til verks for å analysere hvordan våre gullhåp utnytter kreftene sine når de går på ski. Sensorbasert forskning skal gi løperne verdifulle treningstips og hjelpe dem med å finne det helt perfekte skipar....

The automatic classification of sub-techniques in classical cross-country skiing provides unique possibilities for analyzing the biomechanical aspects of outdoor skiing. This is currently possible due to the miniaturization and flexibility of wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) that allow res...

Commercial systems utilizing data from inertial measurement units (IMUs) to analyse movement patterns have not yet been adapted to monitor daily training in cross-country (XC) skiing. The main purposes of this study are to investigate: (1) the feasibility and potential of a multi-sensor system consi...
