Endurance training in Olympic winter sports: A narrative review of the current literature and future research priorities
Sperlich, B., Holmberg, H. C.Published in Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports (2026)“…In this narrative review, we propose a dual framework: (1) a demand-driven, athlete-centered, data-supported model for Endurance-Limited sports (e.g., cross-country skiing, biathlon) and (2) a Feeder-Function model for sports in which endurance primarily supports recovery, training tolerance, and resilience (e.g., freestyle skiing, snowboarding, sliding sports). …”

The cardiorespiratory differences between physically trained vs untrained collegiate competitive rifle athletes
Rankin, J.Published 2024“…The lower RHR of the NCAA team may indicate higher cardiorespiratory fitness responses due to the structured nature of the training program that is followed by these athletes. Conclusion After reviewing the three heart rate measurements (RHR, Active Shooting, Final HR), two of the three comparable measures of HR were found to be insignificant, it cannot be said that HR on its own is a determining factor of athletic performance in the sport of rifle. …”

Starting and specialising ages across Olympic sports: A cross-sectional study in an international sample of elite athletes
Descheemaeker, K., De Bosscher, V., Shibli, S.Published in Book of Abstracts EASM (2023)“…In the majority of sports, which can be classified as sports with normal starting and specialisation ages, the proposed sampling path of the DMSP can lead to international top performances. Moreover, it can be assumed that in sports with a late start, athletes practised other sports before starting their main sport (e.g., archery, shooting, cycling, boxing, canoe, wrestling, weightlifting).. …”

Pole length influences performance during an-snow skating in female cross-country skiers
Torvik, P.-Ø., van den Tillaar, R., Bostad, G., Sandbakk, Ø.Published in Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise (2021)“…Speed in set terrain sections was determined and the selection of sub-technique was self-reported immediately after each race based on a detailed review of the entire track. Results: Skiers performed on average 7.1 ± 7.1 s (P = 0.029) faster with the long poles, with this difference occurring during the first 200 m and in the uphill parts of the track, in which ~ 5% more G3 and ~ 5% fewer G2 sub-techniques were chosen (both P < 0.05). …”
