We compared selected kinematic variables for four different ski turn techniques performed
by five experienced and five intermediate male skiers. The four ski turn techniques were the …

Three dominant techniques are used for downhill turning in cross‐country skiing. In this
study, kinematic, kinetic, and temporal characteristics of these techniques are described and …

As a consequence of the increase in popularity of skiing as a leisure sport, ski teaching has
become an important pedagogic and economic issue. Unfortunately, most ski teaching …

Joint angle motion and reacting forces in the ski turn using a 'carving ski'with short side
curve radius have been measured to be compared with those in a turn using a conventional …

This study examined the influence of turn radius on velocity and energy profiles when
skidding and step turning during more and less effective downhill turns while cross-country …

Cross-country ski technique is undergoing rapid evolution. Alternate stride skating was the
dominant technique during the 1985–86 racing season (double poling is synchronized with …

Purpose The aims of the study were a) to compare the double-push skating technique with
the V2 and the V1 skating techniques on an uphill terrain by a kinematic and kinetic …

The alternate stride or V1 skate technique was the predominant skiing method used in the
free technique races of the 1988 Calgary Games. High-speed films were recorded of two …

A model was developed to calculate the turning characteristics of alpine skis. The skis
considered are constructed of layers of materials which may include wood, foam, metal …

This study investigated the evolution of skiing velocity, cycle length, and cycle rate in elite
and subelite skiers during cross-country ski races. Senior male cross-country skiers …
