      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 ...
    • Should we be recommending altitude training to swimmers? 

      Winther, Andreas Kjæreng (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      Many swimmers continue to use altitude training as part of their preparation despite questions of its efficacy. This belief seems to be strongly tied to the notion that an increase in hemoglobin mass will transfer over to increased sea-level performance. The purpose of the presents study was to examine whether altitude training lead to greater increases in competitive performance compared to sea-level ...
