Abstract des Autors

The purpose of this study is to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of
acceleration measurements in cross country skiing using a body mounted
kinematical inertial measurement system. A high profile world cup athlete
performed two test-runs in diagonal stride technique on skis and roller skies
equipped with an inertial measurement system. In particular the acceleration of
the athlete’s centre of gravity in skiing direction is of interest with respect to the
efficiency of the skiing technique. Significant differences are found between
skiing and roller skiing. The main benefit of inertial measurement systems can be
seen in the application in field for the measurement of complete test-runs. The
weight and the mechanical characteristics of the measuring system might slightly
affect an athlete adversely. Verf.-Referat
