INDIVIDUAL BIOMECHANICAL PROFILE AS A “MIRROR” OF THE TECHNICAL PREPAREDNESS OF CROSS-COUNTRY SKIERS
The article examined the results of approbation of the developed methodology for assessing and monitoring the technical readiness of cross-country skiers based on the registration of informative kinematic and dynamic parameters of the ski locomotion technique with the display of an individual biomechanical profile. The technique is based on the use of wireless strain gauge and two-plane video recording. Parameters characterizing the technique of sportsmen’s movements from different aspects were selected as evaluation criteria: performance, efficiency and rationality. The results of a series of tests of highly qualified cross-country skiers are presented.
