Abstract: Background: The double poling technique has developed and further created a debate in the cross-country sport. Several athletes have seen that use of double poling without kick wax under their skis, has greater advantages than challenges in many of the trails used in competitions today. Various initiatives have therefore been put in place to ensure that diagonal stride technique retains in the classical cross country skiing.\nPurpose: The aim of this study was (1) to investigate the differences in physiological responses and GE at different levels of athletes (elite and non-elite skiers), while using DP and DIA technique on a treadmill, at steep (10,5 %) to very steep uphill (15%). Further, (2) investigate how the use of DP and DIA affects the performance at very steep uphill and finally (3) how the differences between two level groups (elite and non-elite) might influence the results.
