ABSTRACT

Keywords: alpine skiing, eccentric strength, Norway, physiology, strength training, testing.

Introduction In this paper I will provide some brief information about methods that are used in testing and training top Norwegian athletes. Naturally, this information will be general as I cannot yet give detailed information concerning unpublished test results. Likewise, I cannot give unpublished information in any detail concerning experiments with eccentric training at the National Sports Centre. This paper is not intended to be a scientific paper, but hopefully it will be relevant for athletes and coaches.
