3.0 out of 5 stars
Academic,
By Arthur J "AJ" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cross Country Skiing: Olympic Handbook of Sports Medicine (Paperback)
I bought this book expecting great things given the FIS and IOC endorsement. What happen was that it forced me to sit down and read critically about my sport. There is alot of worthwhile information here, but there are also a lot of errors. It is very typical of reports about sports written by academics who do not ski. To say that because these scientists could not see "adominal muscules working, in xc skiing therefore they do not contribute to ski skating" shows blunt ignorance of the reality of the sport. Unfortunately, great scientific data is spoiled by wild conclusions based on observation not experience. Buy this book if you are experienced enought to know the difference.
