Lamoureux, NR, Tomkinson, GR, Peterson, BJ, and Fitzgerald, JS. Relationship between skating economy and performance during a repeated-shift test in elite and subelite ice hockey players. J Strength Cond Res 32(4): 1109-1113, 2018-The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of skating economy to fatigue during repeated high-intensity efforts of a simulated ice hockey shift. Forty-five collegiate and Junior A male ice hockey players (aged 18-24 years) performed a continuous graded exercise test using a skate treadmill. Breath-by-breath data for oxygen consumption (V[Combining Dot Above]O2) and respiratory exchange ratio were collected and used to derive energy expenditure (EE) averaged over the final 10 seconds of each stage. Economy was determined as the slope of the regression line relating V[Combining Dot Above]O2 and EE against skating speed separately. Participants also completed 8 bouts of maximal ice skating through a course designed to simulate typical shift, with timing gates determining first half, second half, and total fatigue decrement, calculated by a percent decrement score. Partial correlation was used to determine the association between economy measures and decrement during the repeated-shift test. Twenty-six participants met inclusion criteria and were included in data analysis. Skating economy measures (both relative V[Combining Dot Above]O2 and EE) were very likely moderate positive correlates of total fatigue decrement (r [95% confidence interval]: V[Combining Dot Above]O2, 0.46 [0.09, 0.72] and EE, 0.44, [0.06, 0.71]) but not with first or second gate decrement. Our results indicate that skating economy plays an important role in fatigue resistance over repeated on-ice sprints designed to simulate a typical shift. This supports the use of technical skating coaching and training techniques to enhance skating economy as a means of improving ice hockey performance.

: Roller skating shares biomechanical similarities with other sports, but specific studies on speed skaters are limited. Injuries, particularly to the groin, are frequent and related to acute and chronic muscle stress. Technology, particularly surface electromyography, can now be used to monitor performance and prevent injuries, especially those caused by muscular asymmetries.

Article Synopsis
- Elite speed roller skaters find skating more physically demanding on the groin compared to other sports, which raises their injury risk.
- Researchers studied the kinematic and electromyographic data of roller skaters on a treadmill at speeds of 20 km/h and 32 km/h, using sensors to monitor muscle activity.
- Results showed that higher speeds require greater muscle activation and coordination, providing valuable insights for physiotherapists and kinesiologists in injury prevention and training.

Background: The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is a representative large-scale sporting event, which not only promotes the development of the national and regional economy, society, and culture but also increases the demand of residents for winter sports, thus helping achieve the grand goal of "encouraging 300 million people to participate in winter sports." This research explores the influence of the Beijing Winter Olympics on residents' demand for winter sports in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations in China.
Methods: Applying big data mining techniques, the Baidu Index of Winter Olympics-related terms are used to measure residents' interest in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the ratio of the Baidu Index of five winter sports (ice skating, ice hockey, curling, luge, and skiing) to the number of internet searches is used to capture residents' demand for winter sports.

Background: Speed skating is a discipline that involves cyclical and repetitive movements that make athletes susceptible to injuries, especially in the groin. In professional athletes, during a season, it was found that about 20% had overuse injuries with significant consequences during the competitive season due to long recovery times. Currently, new technological tools allow the measurement of multiple parameters and, through a panel of data deriving from various measurements, provide a valuable aid for training and rehabilitative purposes.
