We studied perfect carving turns of alpine skiing using the simple model of an inverted
pendulum which is subject to the gravity force and the force mimicking the centrifugal force …

In this paper, we analyse the model of pure carving turns in alpine skiing and snowboarding
based on the usual assumption of approximate balance between forces and torques acting …

Introduction: To establish an alpine ski racing (ASR) specific dryland high intensity training
protocol (HIT), we set out to analyze cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses of three …

The super giant slalom (Super-G) is a speed event in alpine skiing, in which the skier
trajectory has a significant influence on the athletes' performances. It is a challenging task to …

When dealing with small cohorts, as is typical in elite sport, the well-known fourstep
'sequence of prevention'described by van Mechelen et al 1 (figure 1) potentially represents a …

Objective: This explorative study examined potential performance indicators through a
correlational analysis between morphological measures and international ranking within …

In this paper, an improved retractable body model (IRBM) is established, which has an
advantage in simulating the flexion-and-extension motion of skier's legs during carved …

This study was undertaken to characterize course setting, terrain geomorphology and skier
mechanics in World Cup (WC) alpine skiing. Since there was no existing appropriate …

In Alpine skiing, the influence of the environment wind on the athlete is crucial. To accurately
analyze the coupling effect of environment wind speed, wind direction, and the athlete's …

Measuring ski deflection while skiing allows the characterization of essential aspects of the
complex interplay between the skier's performance and the interaction of the ski with the …
