Biomechanical Adaptations to an Implemented Ramp Angle in Recreational Alpine Skiers
… and center of pressure maintenance in alpine skiers (n = 19) was investigated during simulated ski squat and balance tasks with increasing binding ramp angles (0°, 1°, 2°). Greater sagittal plane center of pressure excursions were observed with ski-booted tasks compared to barefoot conditions …

Upper Body Characteristics Related To Double Pole Performance in Female Cross Country Skiers
… of a Division I cross country (XC) ski season. Skiers (n=10; all females) performed the mass-start DPTT on snow (i.e., criterion measure), SERG, and UBMS separated by at least a few days recovery. Lastly, body composition was determined via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) with a focus on …

The genetics of sports behaviour : the role of the DRD4 gene in sensation seeking in skiers
… a T at position -521). Behavioural analysis of skiers (N = 200) revealed a significant correlation (r²= .506, p < .001) between skier behaviour (CSSQ-S) and skier personality score (ZKPQ) for sensation seeking. Genotype analysis (N = 74) revealed allele frequencies of .58 C and .42 T and an …

GENERAL STRENGTH AND MUSCULAR ENDURANCE: RELATIONSHIP TO V1- AND V2-SKATE SKIING ECONOMY IN COLLEGIATE CROSS-COUNTRY SKIERS
<p><strong>Introduction </strong>Cross-country skiing is a power-endurance sport requiring upper and lower body activation for propulsion across the ground. While high aerobic markers such as VO<sub>2max</sub> and lactate threshold are important performance indicators, recent research has …

Characterizing aerobic and anaerobic performance in alpine skiing
… dryland performance of trained adolescent alpine skiers from the end of season to pre-season, and to assess the longitudinal changes in dryland jump performance over a 26-month period. Skiers between the ages of 15 and 18 volunteered for this study (n = 8; 16.5 ± 1.1 years; 73.3 ± 10.2 kilograms; …

A case study to develop an adaptive ski jacket for alpine recreational sit skier -- user-centered design method
… ski jacket tailored for alpine recreational sit skiers through a user-centered design approach. The research integrates 3D body scanning and virtual simulation to tailor designs that address the unique needs of sit skiers. Employing case study and qualitative interview research methods, data was …

The viability of a private four-season resort in Northern New England
… ski areas have expanded to accommodate as many skiers as possible, forcing thousands of New England skiers traveling north every weekend to the same overcrowded locations. Ticket lines, lift lines and cafeteria lines have grown to such uncontrollable lengths that it is unreasonable to expect …

Biomechanics of cross-country skiing locomotion
… work was to determine the strategies employed by skiers to progress along the ground in the DST. Different analytical approaches were used to test the research question: those involved cycle patterns, joint angular kinematics,coordination and mechanical analyses of different skiing conditions. The …
