Abstract

Nordic skiers are subject to highest demands, amplified by the increasing professionalism and the continuously rising level of performance. To ensure ideal health care and coaching, an enlargement and thus improvement of sports medicine and scientific knowledge is required. For identification of medical and performance characteristics, properties and parameters, data from 429 elite nordic ski athletes (cross country skiing, biathlon, nordic combination, ski jumping) were cross-sectional and longitudinal analysed. The comparison between sport, gender, age und performance level showed significant differences. By creating such particular sports medicine profiles, realistic assessments of results in age-matched comparison, both in terms of health-related, as well as performance-related tests, are prospective possible.
