It gives me something I can’t achieve on skis, roller skis and strength training. It has improved my double poling a lot and is an important key to my success in 2009, 2010 and 2011”.

“Double poling, upper body strength and endurance has become more and more important in today’s long distances races and the best skiers are winning races without kick wax. ThoraxTrainer®  is the best skiing ergometer on the market, with a very realistic and smooth feeling of skiing, and through the computer we are able to evaluate the efficiency of the athletes technique and performance. This is a total new way of training in cross-country skiing, and we see it as a great tool to gain advantage to our competitors", says David Nilsson, and he continues "With the ThoraxTrainer®  our athletes can improve upper body strength and endurance, VO2 max, Lactate acid threshold, technique, balance and core stability in a new and very efficient way".
