<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]
