ABSTRACT:
Six Danish male cross-country skiers were studied during the end-of-summer and winter seasons. Their maximal oxygen uptake was measured while running on a treadmill and using a ski ergometer incorporating the double-poling technique. Maximal oxygen uptake during treadmill running and double-poling was correlated with performance, expressed as a ranking score during 10 ski races. The tests were undertaken in September, December and April. Upper body maximal oxygen uptake increased 5.8 percent from September to December, decreasing to 2.3 percent above the September level in April. Upper body work output (2 min at maximal intensity) increased 11.8 percent from September to December. The relationship between upper body/leg ratio changed from 87.7 percent in September to 95.7 percent in December. In April, the ratio was 91.0 percent. The maximal oxygen uptake measured using the ski ergometer during double-poling was significantly correlated with performance. It is concluded that the upper body ski ergometer can be used in the evaluation of elite cross-country skiers.
