Abstract In this study we analyse data from world cup cross-country skiing sprint elimination tournaments for men and women in 2015–2020. Instead of being assigned a quarterfinal according to seeding scheme, prequalified athletes choose themselves sequential order which the five quarterfinals compete. Due time constraint on day competition is held, recovery between heats varies. This implies cl...

We report the technique and results of percutaneous cerclage used in treating 186 torsional fractures of the tibia, most of which were due to skiing accidents in young patients. It is recommended only for this type of fracture and has the advantages of simplicity, a low rate of complications and a relatively brief period in hospital.

Traumatic hip dislocation is uncommon in the paediatric population. Post reduction radiographs often show an incongruent hip because of tissue interposition. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy who was transferred to our hospital with an incongruent hip after a skiing accident, without a history of hip dislocation.

The purpose of this study was to establish the optimal allometric models to predict International Ski Federation's ski-ranking points for sprint competitions (FISsprint) among elite female cross-country skiers based on maximal oxygen uptake ( [Formula: see text]) and lean mass (LM). Ten elite female cross-country skiers (age: 24.5±2.8 years [mean ± SD]) completed a treadmill roller-skiing test ...

Downloa largest ski race, ongoing in Sweden since 1922, with a total of 926,350 participants through 2010. The last 10 years accounts for 45% of these skiers, with the addition of shorter distances as an option. During 90 years of ski racing, 20 cases (mean age 55 years) of CA occurred, 5 of which survived (mean age 47 years) the acute event. All cases were men, and had support of bystander car...
