In competitive cross country, or "Nordic", skiing, the objective is to ski over a predetermined course in the fastest time possible. There are two different disciplines of skiing in which races are contended, "classical" in which skiers use a motion similar to running, and "freestyle" in which they use a motion similar to skating. Cross country skiing is considered to be one of the most physiologically demanding endurance sports, and elite level skiers have some of the highest recorded VO2 maxes (a measure of the body's ability to absorb oxygen) ever.
