The Swedish Olympic system has ski training from regular basic training in the preparation period to the competition period. This enclose traditional and new novel ideas as regards training planning, periodisation and tapering. Two of the main training principles to improve an athlete’s capacity are load and continuity. An increased training load can be achieved in different ways, by increasing and/or change volume, intensity and frequency. High performance training of skiers with an extraordinary complex combination of training qualities as strength, endurance and technique set high demands on the skiers and trainers knowledge to optimize load and recovery and to place different training elements properly in the different training blocks. The complexity of modern skiing is further challenged by today’s athletes more compact racing schedule, including frequent travels and alterations between different types of races/disciplines. Altogether, this increase the need of good education and good suitable pedagogical monitoring aids to guide high performance skiers in their training, in order to help them to achieve success in competition.
