🚨paper alert🚨 New paper on talent transfer into cross-country skiing among Chinese athletes coached by Norwegian coaches. Paper by @AssProf_Stig with Øyvind Sandbakk at Centre for Elite Sports Research (SenTIF) - NTNU, Rune Kjøsen Talsnes and Mats Iversen. mdpi.com/2075-4663/9/10…

For å begrense jaget etter vekt kan "enkle" grep gjøres: 1) La all sprint være < 3 min = større krav til anaerob kap 2) Ha flatere distanserenn = absolutt VO2 viktigere 3) Lag mer sving, overganger + krevende nedover + mer skicross = teknisk fokus og fart vg.no/sport/i/mr8v0p…

Happy to see this one published in Int'l Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance A lot of effort…. and one more to come from the same intervention (looking at subsequent training effects) soon!

Now ahead of print: Do the Effects of an 8-Week Intervention Influence Subsequent Performance Development in Cross-Country Skiers? by Rune K. Talsnes, Lars Jonatan Engdahl & Øyvind Sandbakk journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

Differences in adaptations elicited by a short-term intervention focusing on low- versus high-intensity endurance training had little or no effect on the subsequent development of performance or physiology. Another great study with implications for practice by Rune Kjøsen Talsnes

"It depends" Two words that need to be said more often in the performance world. The world is complicated. Performance is complex. There are no magic bullets and few hard and fast rules. Most things work until they don't. Embrace the nuance.

"It depends" is the answer to nearly any issue or problem. Embracing nuance and being okay muddling through uncertainty is a vital skill to develop. Not having an instant answer isn't a sign of hedging or not knowing. It's a sign of deep thinking and consideration.

Rare depth of endurance training insights from World class female biathlete Tora Berger who has achieved: • 4 Olympic medals 🥇🥇 • 18 world championship medals 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 For those interested in endurance training transitions from junior to senior competition

"There is no such thing as an elite 8-year-old, a high-performance 10-year-old, or a professional 11-year-old"

Ever wondered how top athletes in your sport maintain peak performance year after year? ⚖️ In our latest article, we discuss how monitoring tools - like training diaries, physiological tests, and physiological markers - can serve as proactive 'insurance'. 💪🛡️1/

What is a training philosophy? A well-crafted training philosophy is often seen as the foundation for athletic success, but the concept is often misunderstood to be a permanent “blueprint”. 1/ #TrainingPhilosophy
