The current study aimed to compare the two relevant skating techniques (V1 and V2) which are both used on moderate uphill terrain. Hence the research questions for this study are as follows: In the V1 and V2 ski skating techniques, do skiers coordinate breathing with the movement patterns? If so, does breathing frequency match poling frequency or skating frequency? Note that for V1 skating, poling and skating frequencies are different, while for V2 these are the same.
