3 Double Poling in cross-country sit ski Progression achieved by pushing symmetrically on two hand-held poles. Pushing poles gesture (PPG) is similar to double poling (DP) technique adopted by standing crosscountry skiers

4 Tests FIELD TESTS DURING COMPETITION outdoor video capture environment conditions unstructured field weather conditions competition contest marker-less analysis not repeatable elite athletes

5 Tests video-recording of the push gesture during Paralympics competition marker-less motion analysis 1-km sprint race (qualification semifinal and final) rectilinear segment with 2% slope 2-D kinematic analysis 1 st set up Research financially supported by Research approved and supported by International Paralympic Committee

23 Conclusions check the feasibility of the motion capture during a contest velocity: most of the athletes present some similar features; residual motor potential influences shape and duration of the deceleration more performing athletes reach maximum sledge velocity when the arm is in a posterior position respect the trunk, increasing PP a kneeling position allows a positive gradient of velocity during PP arm inertia play an important role in propulsion pole ratio pole/height on sledge increases as increases the seat angle respect the vertical plane. In general with curled legs ratio < 1. LW 10 class pole angles in PP are heterogeneous, while for LW 11 and LW12 angles are more homogeneous, even if there are some difference between man and women
