Strength training by Swedish Winter Sports Research Centre

As I mentioned in last post, training plan for every XC- skier should contain some important activities. Today I'm going to suggest some strength exercises, which has been shown by Swedish Winter Sports Research Centre in a video below. But first, few words about SWSRC. It's an institute of Swedish Mittuniversitetet (Mid Sweden University). Students who attend there have a unique chance to work with skiers on the highest world level. They can also conduct practical work in laboratories and meet every single detail of the equipment. Interesting study, isn't it? Swedish Winter Sports Research Centre has got a channel on YouTube, where we can find some results of their researches. I strongly recommend you to watch this video and do these exercises on your own. Obviously some of them you can do at home and in my opinion this is huge advantage.
