Abstract:

AbstractThe temperatures in downhill skies were measured with thermocouples to investigate the heat generation associated with the sliding of skis on snow. In these tests we investigated the effects on ski temperature of the ambient snow temperature, snow type, speed, load and thermal conductivity. A significant temperature rise at the base of the ski was found at the onset of motion in all runs. The temperature rise increased for heavier loads and at lower ambient temperatures. Some ski runs lasted long enough to observe a steady-state temperature at the ski base; it increased with ambient te

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine motion and muscle activity in downhill skiing in order to estimate muscular involvement during the landing phase and its potential effect on ACL injury. Specially developed 8-channel portable electromyo-graphy registration was conducted during three jumps on the Russi jump of the 1994 Olympic downhill slope, and six control jumps were carried out in the laboratory. The results reveal that the skier adapts to the expected loading of the knee, possibly by using a learned motor control pattern. It is still not clear, however, how important muscular adaptat

Abstract:

Based on video analysis of downhill skiing areas a model for ski traffic is developed. The video analysis uses PeTrack to determine the trajectories of individual skiers which are then statistically analysed. A stochastic cellular automaton model is proposed that can reproduce the basic observed features. The empirical data are used for validation and calibration of the model. In the future, the model may help to analyse comfort and safety on skiing slopes, especially the risk of collisions.

Abstract:

Using the two climatic change scenarios selected by the Canadian Climate Centre, an attempt has been made, using snowcover suitability percentiles, to estimate the resilience and sensitivity of downhill skiing in the Lower Laurentians to the suggested changes in temperature and precipitation. The scenarios suggest an average winter increase in the range of 0 to 16 percent for precipitation and 7.6 to 9.3° F (4.2 to 5.2° C) for temperature. These changes could possibly result in a reduction of the marginally reliable and reliable ski seasons in the Laurentians by 40 to 89 percent respectively w

Abstract:

This is a clinical analysis of XC and DH injuries reported thru the CPSC NEISS data files. It suggests that there are significant differences between the two sports and that there are occasionally significant interactions with gender as well. There are some implications with regard to injury mechanisms as well as hardware factors. In order to more fully understand and interpret these findings, it will be necessary to couple these findings with an examination of the populations at risk in a quasi-epidemiological methodology.

Abstract:

This study is part of an on-going series of studies that relate to Alpine or Downhill Ski Boot Design. In current Alpine skiing, the ski boot is an integral part of the ski boot-binding system. One of the roles of the ski boot is to protect the ankle from excessive dorsiflexion during forward falls, as the ski boot is levered out of the heel binding. A boot designer needs to know what the ranges of dorsiflexion are for human ankles so that the allowable forward flex built into the ski boot will not exceed some specified level. That specified level should be such that a large part of the popula

This paper treats an iterative shooting method based on sensitivity functions for solving non–linear two–point boundary value problems (BVPs), in the form of a second–order differential equation and four boundary conditions. The solution of this BVP constitutes an in–run profile of a ski jumping hill. It is characterized by reduced a normal reaction force, which has impact on ski jumper’s legs during sliding downhill. In order to use this method, it is necessary to convert the BVP to an appropriate initial value problem (IVP). Consequently, in each iteration, we must solve a system of six firs

Abstract:

According to the risk compensation hypothesis, the use of a ski helmet might provide a false sense of security, resulting in a riskier behavior by skiing faster or more aggressively, which might lead to an increased injury risk.

Thus, the aim of the study was to evaluate the potential impact of risk-taking and ski helmet use on ACL injury risk in recreational skiing.

Downhill skiing evokes many emotions. In more experienced skiers, they manifest themselves primarily in a positive form, in beginners often in a negative form, in the form of apprehension or fear, mainly due to an unfamiliar way of moving - sliding and moving on skis. In the school environment, we encounter these phenomena quite often on ski training courses. The aim of the paper was to find out through a survey among teachers of lower secondary education (n=105), the fear and apprehension of pupils during ski courses, as well as the use of playful activities during their teaching.

Abstract:

In alpine ski disciplines, it is common for competitors to record incomplete runs. In some instances, up to 40% of competitors have failed to complete a course. Possible reasons include incorrect preparation of skiers (lack of adequate motor preparation) and poor tactical approaches. However, there are also some errors in the setting of gates on a course. The aim of this paper is to determine the objective difficulty coefficient of alpine skiing competition courses, based on course geometry and the kinematic parameters of the run.

Abstract:

Purpose – The paper aims to examine competitive strategies used by several small ski brands manufacturing in the USA. The motivation is to explain, while there are no major manufacturers in the USA, why many smaller manufacturers produce locally despite higher labor costs. Design/methodology/approach – The paper first describes mid-volume, mid-complexity manufacturing. It then describes customization and innovation. Descriptions of the ski industry, ski manufacturing and customization and innovation, especially among smaller ski manufacturers, then follow. Publicly available information is the

Abstract:

In this paper, we present an intelligent system that is capable of estimating the status of a player engaging in winter activities based on the sequence analysis of multivariate time-series sensor signals. Among the winter activities, this paper mainly focuses on downhill winter sports such as alpine skiing and snowboarding. Assuming that the mechanical vibrations generated by physical interaction between the ground surface and ski/snowboard in motion can describe the ground conditions and playing contexts, we utilize inertial and vibration signals to categorize the motion context. For example

Abstract:

Like most sports, alpine skiing has international regulations – its regulations specifically designed by the FIS, that is, the Fédération Internationale de Ski or International Ski Federation– aimed at coordinating competitions and rating athletes. FIS points, as they are called, represent the core of the rating system, as they facilitate the rating of athletes involved in competitions for each of the five alpine skiing disciplines, that is, slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, and combined. The objective of this article is to analyse the current rating system, giving special attention to

Abstract:

The anthropometric and aerodynamic conditions are among the important factors that decide performance in downhill ski races. This paper combines a theoretical approach with input data from wind tunnel experiments to estimate the influence of selected variables on speed in skiing. The variables of interest are the mass of the athlete and the aerodynamic forces, drag and lift. Based on the findings of the study, an anthropometric code number (ACN) is introduced. This ACN value is a combination of the mass of the skier, the coefficient of drag, and the greatest projected area the athlete exposes

Abstract:

Fatalities on ski slopes are very rare, with about one death per one million skier days. Whether the fatality rate is affected by substantial changes in the number of skier days and potentially associated alterations in the structure of the skier population is unknown. Thus, we compared the fatality rate on Austrian ski slopes in the winter season of 2020/21, when skiing activities were dramatically restricted during the COVID-19 lockdown, with those of the previous winter seasons. As a consequence of COVID-19 measures, the number of skier days dropped from over 50 million in previous years to

Abstract:

Cross-country skiing (XCS) embraces a broad variety of techniques applied like a gear system according to external conditions, slope topography, and skier-related factors. The continuous detection of applied skiing techniques and cycle characteristics by application of unobtrusive sensor technology can provide useful information to enhance the quality of training and competition. (1) Background: We evaluated the possibility of using a high-precision kinematic global navigation satellite system (GNSS) to detect cross-country skiing classical style technique.

Abstract:

Background Recently, ski exergames have been gaining popularity due to the growing interest in health improvement. Conventional studies evaluating the effects of ski exergames only considered exercise capacity and overlooked concentration. Ski exergames consist of a motion platform for exercise and virtual reality (VR) content in the game. The VR content enhances the exercise capacity and concentration of the user by providing a challenging goal. Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of VR and non-VR exercises on the exercise capacity and concentration of users in a ski ex

Abstract:

A 39-year-old man injured his left leg while downhill skiing. A physician at the ski resort diagnosed a partial soleus tear and advised rest; however, the patient resumed skiing with minimal pain 2 days after the injury. Five days post injury, he returned home via a 13-hour car ride. The following day, he self-referred to physical therapy due to swelling in the left lower leg. Based on the presentation and considering the 13-hour car ride, the patient was referred to the emergency department to rule out deep vein thrombosis (DVT). At the emergency department, a positive D-dimer blood test indi
