Analysis of a Biathlon Sprint Competition and Associated Laboratory Determinants of Performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Biathlon is an Olympic winter-sport where cross-country (XC) skiing in the skating technique is combined with rifle shooting. In the biathlon sprint competition for men, three laps of 3.3-km are interspersed with a 5-shot ... -
Associations between body-height-normalized pole and ski lengths and performance among male and female elite cross-country skiers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Cross-country (XC) skiers employ whole-body exercise to generate speed through poles and skis. The choice of optimal pole and ski lengths are therefore of high importance. The aim of this study was to document pole and ski ... -
Balance training in older adults using exergames: Game speed and cognitive elements affect how seniors play
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Falls in older adults are a serious threat to their health and independence, and a prominent reason for institutionalization. Incorrect weight shifts and poor executive functioning have been identified as important causes ... -
Case Report: Adjusting Seat and Backrest Angle Improves Performance in an Elite Paralympic Rower
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Paralympic rowers with functional impairments of the legs and trunk rely on appropriate seat configurations for performance. We compared performance, physiology, and biomechanics of an elite Paralympic rower competing in ... -
Changes in the Number of Medal Events, Sport Events, and Classes During the Paralympic Games: A Historical Overview
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose: To chart how changes in the number of medal events relate to changes in the number of sport events and classes during the Paralympic Games (PG) between 1960 and 2018. Methods: Web-scraping was used to extract ... -
A comparison of double poling physiology and kinematics between long-distance and all-round cross-country skiers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare physiological and kinematic responses to double poling (DP) between long-distance (LDS) and all-round (ARS) cross-country skiers. Methods: A number of five world-class ... -
Comparison of high-versus low-responders following a 6-month XC ski-specific training period: a multidisciplinary approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Individual training responses among endurance athletes are determined by a complex interplay between training load, recovery and genetic influence. The present study used a multidisciplinary approach to compare high- and ... -
Comparison of Race Time-Differences Between and Within Para and Able-Bodied Cross-Country Skiers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose: To compare differences in race time (i.e., the average percent difference in race time for each skier compared to the winner, RTdiffs) between female and male Para and able-bodied (AB) skiers, and to examine whether ... -
Development of a Framework for the Investigation of Speed, Power and Kinematic Patterns in Para Cross-Country Sit-Skiing: A Case Study of an LW12 Athlete
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Objective: To develop a framework for the investigation of speed, power, and kinematic patterns across varying terrain in cross-country (XC) sit-skiing, and to test this framework in a XC sit-skier of the LW12 class during ... -
