Screening for Cross Country Skiing

[@JohnP470]

Another great video from Lars, HC and company (especially the addition of Kim). Please keep them coming. We here in the USA can use all the help we can get.

Sent this off to a very good Norwegian friend 🙏🏻

This has convinced me that I may be more suited to darts.

Excellent stuff. Overall fitness is my quest. On my self-demonstration I saw a need to develop shoulder flexibility in the full squat. A long broom handle is my new training tool. Thank you for these tips. A new [though late...] subscriber.

Ordinary foods are good. If you work out a lot (skiing or similar) then the most important aspect is to get enough energy. Eat a varied diet consisting of fruit/vegetables, fish, meat, olive oil, eggs, milk/cheese and then add carbs from pasta/bread, oat meal, potatoes etc. Don't eat a lot of bread if it makes your stomach upset. During races it might be good to have sports drinks or a small snack, and that can also be the case during training if you stay out long.

Great series - thank you and very impressive use of English as well ! Very cool.

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@DavidCharabin]

Great videos. It would be neat if you did something on nutrition. I would be interested in knowing more about what you recommend athletes consume on a regular basis and what they need to take in during longer races and for recovery. Not only things like caloric, vitamin and mineral intake but what foods actually work?

[@judipaulson9530]

Wow really helpful. I will never be able to do a pistol squat though 😦 as I’ve had a few lumbar fusions and lack some mobility there.

[@DavidCharabin]

Thank-you. This was helpful.

[@LimesNorrlandicus]

Some carb-loading before a race is useful, but don't overdo it or your stomach will feel sick and you will pile on too much excess water which makes you heavy (1 g of carbohydrate means that you retain about 2,9 g of water). Some extra oatmeal the day before the race can be enough, but it depends and you have to see what works best for yourself.

[@makeup4everable]

can you please do a video on nutrition? :)

[@NiiklasRun]

Varför står Södergren i kalsongerna?

[@PrimaPeople]

Interesting, in the bird dog, he suddenly loses his good shoulder range of motion that he had in the deep squat (nice lumbar extension). Questionable methodology, and I am not convinced that this screening is 'functional' for skiing. The only time they lift their hands over their heads is at the finish line. Good comments about why screening is necessary.

[@judipaulson9530]

@ the finish line LOL 😂

[@messi9991]

God, I am so not suitable for skiing :)

[@schex86]

Am I the only one who finds this video awkward?

[@TheZweric]

somewhat, yes. But it is forgivable since her touching and commanding a half naked athlete does a good job at explaining
