## Effects of cross-country ski-pole grip

### Description

Simulated data set investigating effects of cross-country ski-pole grip.

### Usage

    data(grip)

### Format

A data frame with 36 observations on the following 4 variables.

UBP
  Measurement of upper-body power
person
  One of four skiers
grip.type
  Either classic, modern, or integrated.
replicate
  a numeric vector

### Details

Based on a study done at http://www.montana.edu/wwwhhd/movementscilab/ mentioned at http://www.xcskiworld.com/. The study investigates the effect of grip type on upper body power. As this influences performance in races, presumably a skier would prefer the grip that provides the best power output.

### Examples

    data(grip)
    ftable(xtabs(UBP ~ person + replicate + grip.type,grip))
