The double pole technique is more economical for roller skiing than V1 skate or kick double pole, requiring 12% less oxygen. Physiological responses were similar between V1 skate and kick double pole techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Roller skiing is a key training method for cross-country skiers.
  • Different techniques (V1 skate, kick double pole, double pole) are used, each with unique physiological demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the physiological responses of three common roller skiing techniques.
  • To determine the energetic economy of V1 skate, kick double pole, and double pole techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Eight male cross-country ski racers performed roller skiing at 14 and 18 km/h.
  • Physiological measures included heart rate, oxygen uptake, blood lactate, and perceived exertion.
  • Data were collected during standardized roller skiing bouts on a flat track.

Main Results:

  • The double pole technique demonstrated significantly greater economy, with 12% lower oxygen consumption (P < 0.05).
  • No significant differences in physiological responses were observed between the V1 skate and kick double pole techniques.
  • Oxygen uptake, heart rate, and blood lactate levels varied across techniques and speeds.

Conclusions:

  • The double pole technique offers superior energetic efficiency in roller skiing.
  • V1 skate and kick double pole techniques elicit comparable physiological demands at similar speeds on flat terrain.
  • These findings suggest similar training adaptations for cardiovascular systems when using V1 skate and kick double pole techniques.
