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

Sex Differences in Physiological Determinants of Performance in Elite Adolescent, Junior, and Senior Cross-Country Skiers
Ove Sollie and Thomas Losnegard
In cross-country (XC) skiing, male athletes typically perform 10% to 12% better compared with their female counterparts 2 , 5 depending on the subtechnique employed, as the sex difference is magnified when the contribution from poling increases. 6 Olympic XC skiing lasts from approximately 3

Currently, an experimentally driven evidence base does not exist, and present-day interventions and psychological deterrence measures are largely modeled on assumptions from cross-sectional research. To this end, this research aims to
