This paper focuses on the development of a fully integrated monitoring system for measuring mechanical loads and motions experienced by a cross-country ski pole. A specially developed miniaturised electronic system allows the integration of the monitoring system into the grip of the ski pole while increasing the mass of the pole only slightly. The digitalized measured data is send wirelessly to a smartphone and can be made available for coaches and scientists in real time. This technology can also be used in other applications involving strain measurements where the need for low mass and miniaturised electronics is given.
