[email protected] • The distance in ski-ergometer tests improved significantly Abstract from 18.0 ± 0.6 to 19.2 ± 0.7 km/h from pre to post after three The main purpose was to investigate if long lasting cross-country months training (c-c) test procedures could predict performance time in ‘Vasaloppet’ • A long lasting (120 minutes) Rollerski test was significantly and secondly the effect of a 16 weeks training period on a 90 min double poling performance test.
