Anthropometrical and Physiological Determinants of Laboratory and on-Snow Performance in Competitive Adolescent Cross-Country Skiers.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To explore the anthropometrical and physiological determinants of laboratory and on-snow performance in competitive adolescent cross-country skiers. Methods: Fifty-two adolescent (25 girls) (14.8 ± 0.6 years) skiers performed an uphill treadmill rollerski session using the G2 ski skating technique. Gross efficiency (GE) was calculated from a submaximal work bout (∼84% of peak oxygen uptake; V̇O_2peak) while V̇O_2peak, accumulated oxygen deficit (ΣO_2def) and laboratory performance were determined from a 3-min time trial (TT_3min) before upper- and lower-body maximum strength were tested. Pearson's product moment correlations and multiple regression analysis explored the relationship with anthropometrical and physiological deter
