Coaching elite athletes: how coaches stimulate elite athletes' reflection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-07)This article investigates the coaching behaviour of five Norwegian national elite team coaches in cross-country skiing. It identifies how they acted as ‘sensegivers’ towards the athletes. An important part of this is how ... -
Cross-Country Skiers With a Fast-Start Pacing Pattern Increase Time-Trial Performance by Use of a More Even Pacing Strategy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose: To investigate whether skiers with a fast-start pacing pattern increase time-trial performance by use of a more even pacing strategy. Methods: Thirty-four skiers (∼17 y, 16 male) performed an individual 7.5 (3 × 2.5) ... -
Double-Poling Physiology and Kinematics of Elite Cross-Country Skiers: Specialized Long-Distance Versus All-Round Skiers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose: Long-distance cross-country skiers specialize to compete in races >50 km predominantly using double poling (DP). This emphasizes the need for highly developed upper-body endurance capacities and an efficient DP ... -
Exercise economy in skiing and running
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-24)Substantial inter-individual variations in exercise economy exist even in highly trained endurance athletes. The variation is believed to be determined partly by intrinsic factors. Therefore, in the present study, we ... -
Exercise intensity during cross-country skiing described by oxygen demands in flat and uphill terrain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Purpose: In this study wearable global navigation satellite system units were used on athletes to investigate pacing patterns by describing exercise intensities in flat and uphill terrain during a simulated cross-country ... -
Highly Trained Biathletes With a Fast-Start Pacing Pattern Improve Time-Trial Skiing Performance by Pacing More Evenly
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: In sprint biathlon, a J-shaped pacing pattern is commonly used. We investigated whether biathletes with a fast-start pacing pattern increase time-trial skiing and shooting performance by pacing more evenly. Methods: ... -
The influence of a fast start versus a conservative start pacing strategy on sprint roller skiing performance in highly trained female junior skiers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: Pacing profiles differ substantially in endurance sports with short competition duration (2–4 min). Herein, we investigated the effect of a fast start (FS) versus a conservative start (CS) pacing strategy on sprint ... -
The influence of pole lengths on O2-cost, kinematics, and performance in double poling at high speeds before and after a training period with long poles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose: Previous studies have found an acute performance improvement with longer pole lengths in double poling (DP) at low-to-moderate speeds. We investigated the influence of pole lengths (PL) on O2-cost, 3D kinematics, ... -
Inner-cycle phases can be estimated from a single inertial sensor by long short-term memory neural network in roller-ski skating
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objective: The aim of this study was to provide a new machine learning method to determine temporal events and inner-cycle parameters (e.g., cycle, pole and ski contact and swing time) in cross-country roller-ski skating ... -
Kinematical analysis of the V2 ski skating technique: A longitudinal study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)To characterise timing of movements and evaluate performance effects of technique alterations in V2 ski skating, 13 elite male cross-country skiers (age, 23 ± 2 years; stature, 182 ± 6 cm; body mass, 76 ± 8 kg; V2 V̇O2max, ... -
Oxygen demand, uptake, and deficits in elite cross-country skiers during a 15-km race
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: This study aimed to quantify the repeated oxygen deficits attained during intermittent endurance exercise by measuring oxygen consumption (V˙O2) and oxygen demand (V˙O2dem) throughout a simulated roller ski ... -
Pole lengths influence O2-cost during double poling in highly trained cross-country skiers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Purpose: In elite cross-country skiing, double poling is used in different terrain. This study compared O2-cost and kinematics during double poling with four different pole lengths [self-selected (SS), SS − 5 cm, SS + 5 ... -
