completely understood. 10 Given that subsensory noise is able to enhance the sensitivity of the human proprioception, it is of interest to examine how subsensory noise affects ACL injury risk in a fatigued state. Landing and cross-over cutting during sports activities impose high additional loads on the

Paralympic cross-country (XC) sit-skiing is a Paralympic discipline in which athletes are skiing seated because they have an impairment in function or structure of the lower extremities, pelvis, and/or trunk. XC sit-skiers ski using a sledge mounted on a pair of XC skis, named sit-ski, and a couple
Performance-Determining Variables of a Simulated Sprint Cross-Country Skiing Competition

Sprint cross-country skiing involves repeated ∼3-minute high-intensity efforts separated by ∼15- to 120-minute recovery periods, starting with an individual qualifying time trial (TT) followed by 3 knock-out heats as the competition format progresses (quarterfinals [QF], semifinals [SF], and final
Is There an Optimal Pole Length for Double Poling in Cross Country Skiing?
Franziska Onasch, Anthony Killick, and Walter Herzog
Cross country ski racing is divided into classic and skating races, which both require different skills from athletes. One thing they have in common is the double poling action, occurring in combination with skating push-off or classic striding patterns, or in isolation, as the only propulsive

To date, no literature exists that has examined National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1 (DI) female cross-country runner’s sleep characteristics throughout
The Interval-Based Physiological and Mechanical Demands of Cross-Country Ski Training
Pål Haugnes, Jan Kocbach, Harri Luchsinger, Gertjan Ettema, and Øyvind Sandbakk
Cross-country (XC) skiing is regarded as one of the most demanding endurance sports and involves whole-body exercise of varying techniques through racing times ranging from a few minutes to several hours. The competition terrain fluctuates between uphill, flat, and downhill sections, in which the

Residual Force Enhancement in Humans: A Systematic Review
Neil Chapman, John Whitting, Suzanne Broadbent, Zachary Crowley-McHattan, and Rudi Meir
a sarcomere is based on a pioneering model by Huxley 7 ; the so-called “cross-bridge theory.” According to this prevailing theory, myosin heads attach to the actin filament, pulling it toward the M-line in the center of the sarcomere, thereby producing active force as the sarcomere shortens. Besides
