Small differences in turn cycle structure, invisible to the naked eye, could be decisive in
improving descent performance. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of turn …

Adaptability to all types of terrain changes, slopes, and course settings is a key aspect
related to the coordinative ability that elite skiers possess. In recent years, several studies …

This study examined the influence of turn radius on velocity and energy profiles when
skidding and step turning during more and less effective downhill turns while cross-country …

In alpine ski racing, different line choices can drastically affect turn or sectional performance.
The straight-line transition between two turns is the main phase where skiers can gain …

Several methodologies have been proposed to determine turn switches in alpine skiing. A
recent study using inertial measurement units (IMU) was able to accurately detect turn switch …

Background: Although many of the movements of skiers are asymmetric, little is presently
known about how such asymmetry influences performance. Here, our aim was to examine …

Improving ski-turn skills is of interest to both competitive and recreational skiers, but it is not
easy to improve on one's own. Although studies have reported various methods of ski-turn …

Over the past few years, technological breakthroughs have helped competitive sports to
attain new levels. Training techniques, athletes' management and methods to analyse …

Recently, four concepts explaining time differences in alpine ski racing have been
suggested. Since the demands on a “well performed” turn are contradicting among these …

Sažetak Traditionally used methods for kinematic analysis of alpine skiing has limitations
regarding data collecting and data processing. Also, analysis of measured parameters …
