Skiing economy and kinematic during a field double poling roller skiing among novice and experienced cross-country skiers.

ABSTRACT: To assess the skiing economy (SE) and kinematics during double poling (DP) roller skiing between two groups of skiers in a field setting. Five experienced and five novice male skiers performed a SE_DP test at 16 km∙h^-1 on an outdoor athletics track. Gas exchange parameters were measured to determine SE_DP. A two-dimensional video was filmed to measure the kinematics variables. Experienced skiers exhibited a 21% lower oxygen cost than novice skiers (p = 0.016) in DP, indicating a strong association between SE_DP, cycle length and cycle rate (p < 0.001). Additionally, before the poling phase, experienced skiers manifested significantly greater maximum hip and knee extension angles than novice skiers (p < 0.001). During the poling phase, experienced sk
