Purpose: To determine the effect of cold ambient conditions on proprioception and cognitive
function in elite alpine skiers. Methods: 22 high-level alpine skiers and 14 control …

This study examined the physiological responses to cold stimulus during intermittent high-
intensity exercise simulating on-snow alpine ski training. 7 male alpine skiers performed …

Objectives To determine whether the proprioceptive ability of advanced and expert
snowsport participants increased with time on-snow, and whether gender, age, snowsport …

This study aimed to characterise the thermoregulatory responses of elite alpine skiers. Core
(gastro-intestinal) and skin temperatures were recorded continuously from 4 national team …

Objectives: This study examined the postural performance of two groups of male skiers
competing at different levels and the consequences on postural control of the suppression of …

Context: Warming up in very cold climates and maintaining an elevated body temperature
prior to a race is challenging for snow-sport athletes. Purpose: To investigate the effects of …

The extreme environment of cold, altitude and movement complexity makes alpine ski racing
a difficult sport to study. This review comprises> 30 years of research and includes 29 on …

Introduction When exercising in the cold, optimizing thermoregulation is essential to
maintain performance. However, no study has investigated thermal parameters with …

It is hypothesized that some of the variability in the conclusions of several human cold
adaptation studies could be explained if not only were the changes in core and shell …

Proprioception plays an important role in the complex mechanism of joint control.
Contemporary sport activities impose extremely high physical demands on athletes. Winter …
