Abstract
The sport of cross-country skiing had its origins as a utilitarian mode of travel more than 4000 yr ago. From hunters carrying weapons and moving about on carved wooden skis, the sport has evolved to spandex-clad competitors carrying reinforced fiberglass poles while gliding on high-tech composite skis. The widespread use of ski-skating techniques coupled with the technological innovations of the last decade have profoundly changed the nature of competitive cross-country skiing. This symposium is intended to summarize the current state of scientific knowledge about the sport.
