چکیده
This review article reports the recent advances in the study, design and production of ski-boots for alpine skiing. An overview of the different designs and the materials used in ski-boot construction is provided giving particular emphasis to the effect of these parameters on the final performances and on the prevention of injuries. The use of specific materials for ski-boots dedicated to different disciplines (race skiing, mogul skiing, ski-mountaineering etc.) has been correlated with the chemical and physical properties of the polymeric materials employed. A review of the scientific literature and the most interesting patents is also presented, correlating the results reported with the performances and industrial production of ski-boots. Suggestions for new studies and the use of advanced materials are also provided. A final section dedicated to the standards involved in ski-boot design completes this review article.

متن کاملTesting of Cross-country Ski Shoes Using an Industrial Robot
INTRODUCTION Shoes are an important part of the sports equipment. They are constantly developed and improved. This is especially evident for winter sports, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, skating, etc. Usually, the design of ski boots is based on a trial and error method, where each prototype is tested on the outdoor terrain. This approach is very time consuming and expensive. It is affect...
متن کاملA Basic Study on Design of Ski Boots Based on Features of a Frame of the Skier
Ski boots are generally important for assisting progress in ski turn technique as an interface between a skier and a ski. This study is aimed at developing a new ski boot that can improve the results of alpine ski races for Japanese players. In this paper, a new design of a ski boot that is adjusted to the features of the frame of Japanese athletes was experimentally examined. As a result, it w...
متن کاملBody Posture Stability in Ski Boots Under Conditions of Unstable Supporting Surface
THE AUTHORS ATTEMPTED TO DETERMINE WHETHER (1) there are differences in stability between the conditions of standing in ski boots and barefoot, (2) the type of surface affects stability, and, (3) the level of stability differs between the frontal and sagittal planes. The study included 35 young male recreational skiers aged 20.71 ±0.63 years. Measurements of stability were taken by means of a L...
متن کاملThe effect of catechin metabolism derived from intestinal microbiota on Ca SKi cell proliferation
Background & aim: In Iran, cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death in women. Papillomavirus infection is the most important risk factor for the development of cervical cancer. Ca SKi cell is a human cervical carcinoma cell that binds the papillomavirus type 16 virus to its genome. Cactin is a type of phenol and a secondary metabolite of a plant. The purpose of this study was to inv...
