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

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
