Thomas Losnegard reviews how energy systems work in cross-country skiing. He looks at how the sport has changed over the years with new technology and training. The paper explains how aerobic and anaerobic energy systems are used in distance and sprint races, depending on the terrain, pacing, and techniques. It also compares the physical demands of these events and how factors like gender and specialization affect performance. Losnegard ends by highlighting the need for more research on recovery, oxygen use, and power to improve performance in the sport.
