This study investigated how the fatigue caused by a 20‐km simulated skating cross‐country skiing race on snow affects the final spurt performance from a biomechanical perspective. Subjects performed a 100‐m maximal skiing trial before and at the end of the simulated race. Cycle characteristics, grou...
