Course Setting as a Prevention Measure for Overuse Injuries of the Back in Alpine Ski Racing
BACKGROUND A combination of frontal bending, lateral bending, and torsion in the loaded trunk has been suggested to be a mechanism leading to overuse injuries of the back in Alpine ski racing. However, there is limited knowledge about the effect of course setting on the aforementioned back-loading patterns. PURPOSE To investigate the effect of increased gate offset on the skier's overall trun...
متن کاملStanding Height as a Prevention Measure for Overuse Injuries of the Back in Alpine Ski Racing: A Kinematic and Kinetic Study of Giant Slalom
Background In alpine ski racing, typical loading patterns of the back include a combined occurrence of spinal bending, torsion, and high peak loads. These factors are known to be associated with high spinal disc loading and have been suggested to be attributable to different types of spine deterioration. However, little is known about the effect of standing height (ie, the distance between the ...
متن کاملThe Use of Body Worn Sensors for Detecting the Vibrations Acting on the Lower Back in Alpine Ski Racing
This study explored the use of body worn sensors to evaluate the vibrations that act on the human body in alpine ski racing from a general and a back overuse injury prevention perspective. In the course of a biomechanical field experiment, six male European Cup-level athletes each performed two runs on a typical giant slalom (GS) and slalom (SL) course, resulting in a total of 192 analyzed turn...
متن کاملReducing the risks for traumatic and overuse injury among competitive alpine skiers
To achieve success, skiers attempt to optimise various biomechanical parameters (eg, trajectory, velocity, interaction between the skis and snow, energy) that influence performance, but this increases risk of injury. It is therefore not surprising that injuries are common among alpine skiers. To reduce the injury rate, the International Ski Federation (FIS) regulates ski length and width, sidec...
متن کاملBiological Maturity Status Strongly Intensifies the Relative Age Effect in Alpine Ski Racing
The relative age effect (RAE) is a well-documented phenomenon in youth sports. This effect exists when the relative age quarter distribution of selected athletes shows a biased distribution with an over-representation of relatively older athletes. In alpine ski racing, it exists in all age categories (national youth levels up to World Cup). Studies so far could demonstrate that selected ski rac...
