      Stöggl, Thomas; Welde, Boye; Supej, Matej; Zoppirolli, Chiarra; Rolland, Carsten Gade; Holmberg, Hans-Christer; Pellegrini, Barbara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-01)
      Here, female and male elite cross-country (XC) skiers were compared on varying terrain during an official 10-km (women) and 15-km (men) Norwegian championship race. On the basis of race performance, 82 skiers were classified as fast (FS) (20 women, 20 men) or slower (SS) (21, 21) skiers. All were video recorded on flat (0°), intermediate (3.5°), uphill (7.1°) and steep uphill (11°) terrain during ...
    • Pacing and predictors of performance during cross-country skiing races: A systematic review 

      Stöggl, Thomas; Pellegrini, Barbara; Holmberg, Hans-Christer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-15)
      <i>Background</i>: Cross-country skiing (XCS) racing, a popular international winter sport, is complex and challenging from physical, technical, and tactical perspectives. Despite the vast amount of research focusing on this sport, no review has yet addressed the pacing strategies of elite XCS racers or the factors that influence their performance. The aim was to review the scientific literature ...
    • The pacing strategy and technique of male cross-country skiers With different levels of performance during a 15-km classical race 

      Welde, Boye; Stöggl, Thomas; Mathisen, Gunnar; Supej, Matej; Zoppirolli, Chiara; Winther, Andreas Kjæreng; Pellegrini, Barbara; Holmberg, Hans-Christer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-08)
      In this study the pacing strategy, cycle characteristics and choice of technique of elite male cross-country (XC) skiers during a three-lap, 15-km classical race with interval start were measured. During the Norwegian Championships in 2016, fast (n = 18, age: 26±4 yr; height: 182±4 cm; body mass: 78±3 kg (means±SD)) and slow skiers (n = 18, age: 22±2 yr; height: 183±5 cm; body mass: 78±6 kg) were ...
    • Pacing, Exercise Intensity, and Technique by Performance Level in Long-Distance Cross-Country Skiing 

      Stöggl, Thomas; Hertlein, Markus; Brunauer, Richard; Welde, Boye; Andersson, Erik; Swarén, Mikael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-14)
      <p>Introduction</i>: Long-distance cross-country skiing (XCS) has gained increased popularity within the past decades. However, research about long-distance XCS is limited; therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the intensity distribution, technique application, and pacing strategies during long-distance XCS racing.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: Heart rate (HR) and section skiing speeds of 9 ...
    • Physiological responses and performance during a 3-minute cycle time trial: standard paced versus all-out paced 

      Dobler, Florian; Bachl, Philipp; Stöggl, Thomas; Andersson, Erik P (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-22)
      Purpose: To compare performance and physiological responses between a standard-paced 3-minute time trial (TT<sub>SP</sub>, ie, pacing based on normal intention) and a consistently all-out-paced 3-minute time trial (TTAOP). <p> <p>Methods: Sixteen well-trained male cyclists completed the TT<sub>SP</sub> and TT<sub>AOP</sub>, on separate days of testing, on a cycling ergometer with power output and ...
