Landing in Ski Jumping: A Review About its Biomechanics and the Connected Injuries

Abstract The present review deals with the current scientific knowledge related ski jump landing. A specific focus is given on landing biomechanics, methods utilized for its analysis and injuries connected to phase. Despite demonstrated importance safety performance of jumpers, preparation are rarely investigated. In this paper, after having firstly described execution reason why important analyze it, an overview status research biomechanics reported (kinetics, kinematics, electromyographic activation, aerodynamics, computer simulation). third part describes technologies in literature (video cameras, inertial sensors, force insoles, wind tunnel After that, reported. final section proposes future field different fields, such as simulations, kinematic analysis, equipment development female athletes.
