Skiers’ Biceps: “If They Scare Somebody – It’s OK By Me”

Skiers’ Biceps: “If They Scare Somebody – It’s OK By Me”

Newsfeed, Trivia
Once upon a time even world class skiers had looked ...a bit like elite cyclists look today. The notion back then was, " skiers don't use biceps much – why carry unneeded weight through the distance?' Well, as one Nobel Laureate once said, The Times - They Are a-Changin' Just look at the current crop of elite skiers who look like they have been trying to take on the young Arnold -at the very least to land on the pages of some "Beautiful Body" mag ( heck - some on the list below did, some more than once!)

Music Or No Music While Training: World’s Best Ski Marathoners Share Their Preferences

Leaders, Newsfeed
We at the Dailyskier like asking world's best skiers their opinion on things pertaining to their training and performance. Last time it was about rollerskis they prefer This time around we went all the way up and asked them what's in their ears - if anything, that is. - Do you ever train with earphones/loudspeakers on? - If “yes” - what do you listen to ( music, radio, podcasts, audiobooks) ? Andreaas Nygaard -I never use music in training. Ever! John Kristian Dahl - Sometimes I train with earphones, mostly without, focusing on technique etc. I will recommend fast beats like dance/edm for hard training, and meaningful podcast, with whatever you are interested in, for slow training.

Science To Rescue: Our Rollerski Scraped Knees Would Heal Three Times Quicker With New Smart Bandage

Gear News, Newsfeed
How many times did you fall on rollerskis this year and scraped your knees real bad? And how many days did it take for those wounds, scrapes and lacerations to heal? Rollerskiers (and bikers, inline skaters and other brothers & sisters in pain in lower extremities) rejoice! Because researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, working jointly with Harvard Medical School and MIT, have come up a smart bandage that is meant speed up wound healing by the factor of three! At least that's what was achieved with wounded lab mice – their skin tissue regrew three times faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d6uFlRuPZY The bandage itself is very XXI century – it consists of "electrically conductive fibers coated in a gel that can be individually loaded with infection-fighting antibiotics, tissue-regenerating growth factors, painkillers or…
