Reliability and criterion validity of the concept 2 SkiErg™ to assess 1,000-m on-snow, time trial performance—a case study

The Concept 2 SkiErg™ demonstrated excellent single-trial reliability. However, there was significant proportional bias in the Concept 2 SkiErg™ relative to the on-snow test and agreement between the two was relatively poor. Research using a larger sample and different trial durations is required to further validate the Concept 2 SkiErg™ for cross-country skiing performance testing.

Abstract

The Concept 2 SkiErg™ demonstrated excellent single-trial reliability. However, there was significant proportional bias in the Concept 2 SkiErg™ relative to the on-snow test and agreement between the two was relatively poor. Research using a larger sample and different trial durations is required to further validate the Concept 2 SkiErg™ for cross-country skiing performance testing.
