The current study showed that skiing and roller skiing seem to be very similar to each other when it comes to the physiological responses in below maximal-intensity skiing. During maximum effort in wet conditions, though, skiing on snow might be more demanding in the physiological aspect. This possibly higher load is particularly important to take into account in wet, high-friction skiing conditions, since it might also negatively affect the technique and set an extremely high load on the muscles as well.
