The effects of training on upper body power in female cross-country skiers

Creator:: Downing, Julie J.
Abstract:: A distinguishing feature of elite cross-country (xc) skiers is their superlative upper body power (UBP). Race points/rankings are highly correlated to UBP, thus it appears that UIBP training is an integral component to the success of xc ski racers. Recently, roller board training was shown to be superior for improving...
