Cross-country sprint skiing competitions involve four very high-intensity efforts of 2–4 min, performed over 3–4 hr, commencing with a qualification heat completed as an individual time trial and followed by three subsequent head-to-head heats separated by ∼20–25 min ( Sandbakk et al., 2011

So far, these analyses have been mainly restricted to summer Olympic sports, such as athletics, 4 – 6 swimming, 7 and weightlifting. 8 Cross-country (XC) skiing is a weight-bearing, full-body locomotion modality with plyometric muscle actions involved, and this sport has always been
Aerobic and Anaerobic Power Distribution During Cross-Country Mountain Bike Racing
Bernhard Prinz, Dieter Simon, Harald Tschan, and Alfred Nimmerichter
The Olympic discipline of mountain bike cross-country (XCO-MTB) is a mass-start event over several laps and varying terrains including technical uphill and downhill sections. Previous literature examining the characteristics of XCO-MTB reported an actual race time from 114 (2) to 128 (17) minutes

Endurance-sport performance is generally dependent on performance oxygen uptake ( V ˙ O 2 ) and gross efficiency (GE). Some endurance sports, like cross-country (XC) skiing and cycling, are characterized by large fluctuations in intensity due to both environmental factors and equipment used. 1 – 4
