Pole lengths influence O2-cost during double poling in highly trained cross-country skiers.


ABSTRACT: In elite cross-country skiing, double poling is used in different terrain. This study compared O2-cost and kinematics during double poling with four different pole lengths [self-selected (SS), SS - 5 cm, SS?+?5 cm, SS?+?10 cm] at Low versus Moderate incline.Thirteen highly trained male cross-country skiers (mean?±?SD 23?±?3 years; 182?±?4 cm; 77?±?6 kg) completed eight submaximal trials with roller skis on a treadmill at two conditions: "Low incline" (1.7°; 4.5 m s-1) and "Moderate incline" (4.5°; 2.5 m s-1) with each of the four pole lengths. O2-cost and 3D body kinematics were assessed in each trial.In Low incline, SS?+?10 cm induced a lower O2-cost than all the other pole lengths [P??0.05; ES 0.2-0.4). In Moderate incline, significant differences between all pole lengths were found for O2-cost, with SS - 5 cm?>?SS?>?SS?+?5 cm?>?SS?+?10 cm (P?

<h4>Purpose</h4>In elite cross-country skiing, double poling is used in different terrain. This study compared O<sub>2</sub>-cost and kinematics during double poling with four different pole lengths [self-selected (SS), SS - 5 cm, SS + 5 cm, SS + 10 cm] at Low versus Moderate incline.<h4>Methods</h4>Thirteen highly trained male cross-country skiers (mean ± SD 23 ± 3 years; 182 ± 4 cm; 77 ± 6 kg) completed eight submaximal trials with roller skis on a treadmill at two conditions: "Low incline" (1  ...[more]
